I. INTRODUCTION Soybean meal (SBM) is the most important plant protein source in broiler diets. Although most of the proteins in SBM are highly digestible, some proteins including glycinin, protease inhibitors, and antigenic proteins are indigestible and can cause intestinal damage and impair immune functions resulting in sub-optimal growth performance (Pan et al., 2016). The supplementation of SBM with appropriate commercially available proteases provides a potential strategy to...

Introduction In developing countries, the poultry industry is experiencing some critical issues with animal feed prices, which are unpredictable in the current scenario, as raw ingredients, primarily corn and soybean, have been increasing in price day by day (Alagawany and Attia 2015). As a result, there is a need to consider some low-cost resources, such as agricultural by-products and other crops, which are significantly less expensive than conventional feed stuff. As a result,...

Introduction Creatine (essential for energy metabolism) and glutathione (GSH; an important non-enzymatic antioxidant) are major metabolites of glycine [the simplest amino acid (AA)] in animals (Fig. 1). Specifically, arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) and guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase (GAMT) convert glycine into creatine in the presence of arginine and methionine, whereas γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase and glutathione synthetase catalyze the formation of GSH...

4.1 Introduction The metabolism of most nutrients in domestic dogs and cats is similar to that in other mammals (Baker and Czarnecki-Maulden 1991). Thus, the qualitative dietary requirements of dogs and cats for most nutrients [e.g., amino acids (AAs) that are not formed de novo in animal cells] are similar to those for omnivores (e.g., humans and pigs). However, dogs and cats have a relatively short digestive tract (He et al. 2024) and have evolved to have some unique feeding...

1. Introduction Increased atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as nitrous oxide (N 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and methane (CH 4 ), are the primary cause of climate change. These emissions result in unpredictable and erratic rainfall, floods, and droughts [1]. In 2020, agriculture contributed 5865.47 MtCO 2 e, representing 12.34% of its total emissions (47,513.15 MtCO 2 e), including land-use change and forestry...

Additives are part of the strategies for adding value to food, and their interest, in the current context of raw material prices, is even more evident. Nevertheless, there is a tendency to simplify their action to stick to the primary logic of their nature and easily generate an economic advantage. In doing so, we are likely to limit ourselves by failing to fully consider the scope of their work. In the case of the increasingly popular proteases, this involves a "simple" recovery of the...

Insect farming is water-efficient and reduces food waste while producing quality protein, making it a potential solution to food sustainability and food security issues. Black soldier fly larvae, as an excellent source of protein, calcium, and a bacteria-fermentable polysaccharide called chitin, is a promising poultry feed ingredient. A 20-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFM) on the gut microbiota and SCFA...

Rendering involves repurposing animal co-products that would otherwise be discarded. It converts the parts of a meat animal we choose not to eat into stable, usable materials such as fuel, pet food, and livestock feed, creating a highly sustainable alternative. Below, learn more about products made from rendered materials in detail. You can discover...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of four dietary lipid supplements on milk composition and butter properties. Ten multiparous Holstein cows (64±21 days in milk) were used in a replicated 5×5 Latin square design. Cows received a basal diet without supplementation (CTL) or with 2% (dry matter basis) fatty acids (FA) provided as soybean oil (SO), calcium salts of palm FA (CS), hydrogenated tallow FA (HT) or palmitic acid-enriched supplement (PA). Treatment periods lasted 21...

Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) that is produced naturally by fermentation of fiber in the lower gastrointestinal tract (GI). Butyric acid has known benefits such as providing energy to colonocytes, intestinal barrier function, apoptosis regulation, control cytokine production, mucus synthesis, and intestinal cell proliferation, differentiation and maturation. Exogenous supplementation of butyric acid was initially developed by making a salt derivative, with either sodium or...

Functional foods can be defined as foods containing bioactives that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. Substantial research has examined phytochemical bioactives; however, there is also interest in bioactives from animals. Functional foods of animal origin are due to the bioactives present in foods such as eggs, dairy, meat and fish. This presentation will introduce and overview the concept of functional foods and outline the uniqueness of animals as a source of bioactives for...

10 years of data from 168 primary crop products and 44 primary animal products from 240 countries summarized in a Bayesian learning network highlights that ruminant meat and milk are primary drivers of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in food production systems globally. However, these same products, along with eggs and non-ruminant meat, are also linked positively to nearly every nutrient essential for human life, such that, irrespective of agricultural system studied, targeting...

Traditionally, milk fever prevention programs have attempted to directly alter Ca status of dairy cows at calving. Common approaches include feeding pre-fresh dairy cows diets containing anionic salts, restricting dietary Ca, feeding hyper-dietary Ca and administering Ca boluses. There is an abundance of research in regard to the mechanisms associated with dietary Ca alteration, dietary cation-anion difference as related to parathyroid hormone and vitamin D and the role they play in the...

Canada is one of the largest pork and beef exporters in the world. The volume and value of Canadian meat exports have increased to ~$9 billion/year, and the export markets have expanded significantly from the traditional buyers. However, the meat export landscape has evolved during the last years, becoming more competitive, with major players trying to access the same import markets. Quality assurance and meat differentiation based on quality attributes contribute to meeting domestic and...

Low protein diets have improved nitrogen (N) utilization, but dietary N for the endogenous synthesis of non-essential amino acids (NEAA) may be limiting. Inclusion of a non-protein nitrogen (NPN) may improve utilization of essential amino acids (EAA). A N-balance study was conducted, where 90 growing barrows were assigned to 1 of 10 dietary treatments. Diets contained no ammonium phosphate (NAP; EAA-N:TN of 0.56) or were supplemented with 1.7% ammonium phosphate (AP; EAA-N:TN of 0.50) with...

Despite environmental and public health (bacterial resistance) issues, supranutritional levels of zinc oxide (ZnO) are still commonly used to prevent diarrhea in post-weaning piglets. In Canada, these levels represent more than eight-fold the CFIA proposed maximum levels at 300 mg/kg. The limited knowledge of their consequences for the metabolism of trace minerals has hampered the replacement of this strategy without compromising piglet health. Our laboratory has performed a series of...
