Introduction Antibiotics have been used for decades in broiler chicken production for their gut microflora regulation effect, resulting in growth promotion. Governments and consumers are more and more aware of damageable consequences of in routine use of antibiotics and as a consequence, there is a growing need for farmers to find alternatives without loosing profitability. In this context, a patented activated clay, commercially named B-Safe, was...

Pet food companies have been motivated to explore new ingredients in order to expand supply, to differentiate their product offerings, and to avoid sensitizing dietary elements. Traditional ingredients such as corn, wheat, rice, poultry and beef continue to be used in mainstream products. However, new product growth and shelf-space in retail are being given to foods containing ingredients more familiar to human foods than livestock feeds. Alternative...

Introduction Historically, fiber-containing ingredients when incorporated into a pet food have been associated with grain by-products. Thus “fiber” has been associated with the nutritional term “crude fiber, and has been looked upon as a more negative component in pet foods. In recent years, a better understanding of the nutritional and physiological functions of fiber has made it an important nutrient in the...

INTRODUCTION
In view of organic livestock farming, Greece has many advantages in comparison to the other European countries, the temperate climate and the wide and rich ecosystems in countryside. For thousands of years, outdoor pig farming has been one of the most important livestock production sectors in Greece. Since the 60s, the introduction of high-yielding pig genotypes,...

Despite the accelerating knowledge in understanding metabolism and nutrition and the considerable improvement in farm management in aquaculture, financial losses due to diseases still strike producers severely everywhere in the world. Often the reasons for the outbreak of diseases are not obvious but increased mortalities or reduced meat quality are at least in part triggered by stressful husbandry, overstocking, poorly adjusted feed levels or inferior feed, as...

Every 7.67 seconds the world gains three extra people and loses one hectare of arable land. The irony is the demand for agricultural land is on the rise as the world needs to produce enough food to feed its inhabitants. Chronic undernourishment affects some 800 million people, i.e., 17% of the population of developing countries, and 34% in sub-Saharan Africa. Increased agricultural trade and efficient utilisation of available food resources will be a key to the future food security of...

INTRODUCTION Animal husbandry suffers from losses due to contamination with pathogenic bacteria. Their resultant impacts in animals include lower weight gains and increased mortality. Banning the use of in-feed antibiotics (AGPs) in livestock, as has happened in the EU, placed more pressure on animal producers and feed millers. In this context, organic acids have long been used to counteract gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in animal feed; and...

Summary The application of organic acids and their salts to diets for pigs has been studied extensively. They have proved especially effective in maintaining growth performance since the ban on antibiotic growth promoters came into effect in Europe in 2006. Numerous trials have demonstrated their mode and magnitude of action and have established effective doses for piglets,...

Organic acids and Essential Oils in monogastric diets
Successful feed formulations must both promote the growth of the animal and discourage the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Feeding for health as well as nutrition is certainly a major criterion in the design and formulation of piglet and poultry feeds.
Organic acids are used...

INTRODUCTION Antibiotics are microbial metabolites produced by fungi and algae which have low molecule weight and can inhibit the growth of other microorganisms even in low concentrations (Nir and Ve-Senkoylu, 2000). While antibiotics have prevalently been used as growth promoters in animal nutrition, European Community has prohibited the use of antibiotics in animal nutrition as growth promoters from January 1, 2006 (Anonymous, 2005). As a...

Introduction As the world´s population continues to increase, demands for food will experience dramatic growth. This coupled with raising affluence in developing nations, will shape the eating habits of the global population. Protein rich foods particularly meat consumption raises when disposable incomes rises. Consequently, the animal food industry and its allied sectors are set to experience major growth. Analysts have observed that this...
