Introduction: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a phytogenic feed additive (PFA) on body weight gain, carcass composition and quality of 72 finishing pigs [(Large White x Landrace) x Pi train)]. Materials and Methods: Animals were distributed into 3 treatment groups considering litter, live weight and sex. The 3 treatment groups were control group (CON), phytogenic group 1 (PFA+normal) and phytogenic group 2 (PFA+low). The diet was based...

Introduction Nursery pig diets typically contain highly digestible and expensive ingredients (e.g., animal protein sources) to combat the post-weaning growth lag (Campbell and Dunkin, 1983; Lallès et al., 2004). However, after an initial reduction in growth performance, nursery pigs fed simple, corn-and soybean meal ( SBM )-based diets can achieve body weights not different from pigs fed nursery diets that contain highly digestible ingredients via compensatory growth...

Introduction The world population is expected to increase by ~2 billion, reaching 9.7 billion in 2050 (UN, 2019). Compared to 2012, this growth of the global population and affluence of emerging economies is predicted to promote a 40 to 55% increase in global demand for meat and dairy products by 2050 (FAO, 2018). Land resources available to expand production is limited, and there is increasing societal pressure to reduce the degradation of natural resources. In addition, animal...

Introduction The Canadian beef industry produces over 1.5 million tonnes of high-quality protein annually while maintaining the highest standards in animal care and environmental sustainability (CCA, 2020). In Canada, access to in-feed antibiotics has been limited to veterinary prescription and growth claims have been removed. To keep up the high standards of efficient production and prudent antimicrobial stewardship in the beef industry, alternative feed additives like yeast...

Introduction Medicinal plants are a rich source of phytochemicals and natural compounds (alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, tannins and phenols) with marked therapeutic properties (Ruchika et al ., 2022; Roma-Marzio et al ., 2017). They are potential source of drugs and are traditionally used in the treatment of digestive disorders, measles, cold, cough, diarrhea, arthritis, skin disease, joint pain, hemorrhoids, fever, sore throat and sexually...

Introduction Early fish development is the most important thing that should be known before producing any seeds, especially in the new cultured species or strain. Generally, early development is divided into egg, larvae and juvenile, whereas mostly fish embryos develop from transparent eggs [1] . According to Kendall et al. [2], the egg stage is divided into early, middle and late subdivisions, which end with blastopore closure, freeing of the tail bud from the yolk, and...

There are several components of grain and plants that can cause detrimental effects on animal production. These components are commonly known as antinutritional factors. According to their mode of action, anti-nutritional factors can be grouped as follows: Substances that limit or decrease the digestion or metabolism of proteins, ex. lectins and saponins. Substances that interfere or decrease the correct utilization of minerals, ex. phytic acid and oxalic...

Consumers are basing their purchasing decisions on how the meat, milk, and eggs are raised. With more consumers and animal advocacy organizations pushing to reduce – or eliminate in some cases – the use of antibiotics in livestock production, several challenges have come to light.

The feed additives have the major role to improve feed efficiency and more important to make low Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) in aquaculture production. Feed additives may be both nutritive and non-nutritive ingredients and work by either direct or indirect methods on the aquatic animal’s system. The feed additives are supplemented in small amounts (alone or in combination) for a specific purpose to improve the quality of shrimp as a final product. Also, it preserves the physical and...

Introduction Livestock farmers are transitioning to a production technique that uses few or no synthetic antibiotics at all in a new era. This is due to the increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance and more frequent notation of multidrug resistance strains (IPA, 2003). Environmental pollution, presence of toxic residue in the carcass leading to death of animal has also been identified as one of the disadvantages on indiscriminate use of antibiotics (Alagbe, 2019; Hyun et...
