Health, stress resistance and vitality of sows and piglets are directly related to the quality of the food. Since an increase in feed intake in pigs is hardly possible (unlike cattle) the demands on food quality have increased more and more. Therefore, the maximum amount of energy should be put in a food ration. Especially autonomously produced forage has often proved to possess a higher energy density than purchased feed mixes. What you...

Almost one-third of the world fish harvest is not used for direct human consumption, but is converted into fish meal or fish oil for further application in animal feed. Therefore, about 25 million tonnes of fish are annually handled and processed in ways other than fresh, frozen, smoked or canned which are eaten (Balios, 2003). The supply of huge volumes of high quality fish meal is necessary to supply the rapid growing...
To mark the creation of its Scientific Committee, the European Probiotic Association (EPA) held a conference during VICTAM International 2011 in Cologne, in order to discuss the place of probiotics as feed additives, and the opportunities they offer for tomorrow's sustainable and profitable animal production. This event was the opportunity for members of the press and representatives of the probiotic industry to meet and share...
Global agriculture is heading towards challenging times, since the world's population continues to grow at an ever increasing rate. Thus, consumers' demand for sufficient supply of high-quality safe food is a main goal. Decreasing acceptance of antibiotic drugs in many parts of the world and the concomitant debates about residues and contaminations in animal products are driving factors in the search for new and sustainable concepts. On the other hand, producers cope with...

ABSTRACT A technique was developed to produce crude microbial phytase (CMPhy) enzyme form Aspergillus niger , with the objective to enhance phytate phosphorus (pP) availability in corn and soybean meal based broiler diets. The results of in vitro experiments showed that CMPhy enzyme was most active at pH 2.0 and 5.0, as it results in the release of about 79.0% to 88.0% inorganic phosphorus (iP) as a percentage of total phosphorus (tP) from ground corn and soybean meal....

Improved broiler performance with the aid of organic acids has been reported from many sources. An important limitation, however, is that organic acids are rapidly metabolised from the fore-gut (crop to gizzard) of birds, which will reduce their impact on growth performance. ADDCON's patented poultry product FORMI NDF based on their unique double-salt technology has been proven to be effective in the whole gastro-intestinal tract (presentation at Poultry Nutrition Symposium in...
