CHOLINE Choline, a B-complex vitamin also known as vitamin B4, has been revived as a requisite “feed additive” in poultry. Choline is a lipotropic factor that helps in the mobilization of fat and prevents fatty degeneration. Apart from this, also play many important roles in the body of the birds. The metabolic needs for Choline are supplemented in 2 ways: 1. Dietary Choline 2. Choline synthesis in animals Although choline can be...
I. INTRODUCTION Feeding the world’s projected burgeoning human population increase of 2.2 billion people by 2050 will place tremendous pressure on food security. The poultry industry is innovative and well positioned to address this problem through increased efficiency and waste reduction. Globally, 32% (by weight) of produced food − equivalent to 1.3 billion tons − is lost or wasted every year. Conversion of food waste into raw materials for production of poultry...
The International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) offers attendees access to the latest in protein and feed technology through exhibits and educational programing.

Soybean meal prices have been strong for nearly 2 years due to numerous factors such as pandemic fueled stockpiling, bullwhipping of supply/demand dynamics linked to asynchronous market reopenings and elevated input costs due to gross inflationary pressures. In this time, some regions have seen 100% increases in their local SBM prices - which has prompted a search for less expensive protein sources for their feeding programs. In Canada and parts of Europe, this has led to an increase in the...

1-Monoglycerides of short and medium chain fatty acids (monobutyrin, monocaprin and monocaprylin) have shown positive effects on cell metabolism, intestinal integrity and immune system (Calder 2008). However, little is known about their effect on laying hen health, performance and egg quality. Therefore, this study was designed to add further insight into the applied benefits as well as optimal inclusion level of 1-monoglycerides of butyric, capric and caprylic acid on hen performance, their...
Minerals such as copper, manganese and zinc are essential nutrients for enzyme functionality, immune system responses, tissue and bone quality as well as eggshell formation (Richards et al., 2010). Organic trace minerals are used in animal feeds to provide increased mineral bioavailability. In this experiment we investigated the benefits of hydroxy analogues of chelated trace minerals on pullet quality. Three hundred- and sixty day-old Isa Brown layers were randomly allocated into two groups...
The use of antimicrobials in agriculture including broiler production is cause for concern due to the development of antibiotic resistant pathogens affecting both farm animals and humans (Marshall and Levy, 2011). Essential oils (EO) have been considered as promising alternatives to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to establish a standard in-ovo intervention using oregano EO to enhance resilience of new-born chicks against pathogens without compromising post-hatching performance. One...
I. INTRODUCTION The following statement was made by Landers et al., (2012) in a public health report. “Although the majority of antibiotic use occurs in agricultural settings, relatively little attention has been paid to how antibiotic use in farm animals contributes to the overall problem of antibiotic resistance”. Some classes of antibiotics are becoming less effective due to overuse and microbial adaptation leading to resistance to treatment. The pool of...
ARLINGTON, Va. – The Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER) is proud to announce the launch of its new website at ifeeder.org .
Since 2009, IFEEDER has built a reputation as a trusted resource for inquiries about the animal food industry’s role in U.S. agriculture. IFEEDER works with diverse partners from across the animal food and broader food and agricultural sector, along with academia and public...
Basic Role of Feed Formulation Feed formulation is a process by which our knowledge of the nutrition of the animal can be translated into feeding programs which achieve our production objectives. These objectives typically include optimizing growth performance and producing a final carcass that can be converted into safe, healthy and appealing consumer meat products. This must be done in a profitable manner that concurrently contributes to environmental sustainability and animal...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in the body. In feed nutrition, enzymes are used to break down complex molecules into simpler ones, making them more easily digestible by animals. Enzymes are more efficient than chemical additives because they work at lower temperatures and pH levels, reducing the energy required to break down food. Additionally, enzymes are eco-friendly because they are biodegradable and do not leave harmful residues in the environment....
