Some of the best advice I received as a young professional was to hone my skills to make the “elevator pitch” – you know, being able to introduce yourself and share a key point or two all in a...
The world is currently experiencing a high cost soybean meal environment, driven by multiple factors including supply-demand disruption due to ongoing transportation congestion, escalating input prices such as fertilizer, as well as supply-demand imbalances due to geopolitical conflicts. Together these factors have pushed soybean meal prices to levels not seen in many years (See Part I). This price pressure has led many feed producers to evaluate the use of non-traditional soybean products...
INTRODUCTION This article aims to show didactic photographs as viable agronomic alternative practices. Guar is a legume with low soil fertility requirements and minimum use of irrigation water, considered a drought-tolerant plant, since it takes advantage of summer rainfall during the rainy season for its growth. It should allow enough time for the main wheat crop being stablished on the recommended planting date for each region. Inoculation with strains of Microsymbiont...
Introduction The domestic dog ( Canis familiaris ) and the domestic cat ( Felis catus ) have been human companions for at least 12,000 and 9000years, respectively [1, 2]. These animals contribute to the mental health and well-being of children, adolescents, and adults, and have become increasingly popular in many countries and worldwide over the past decades (Table 1). For example, the numbers of domestic cats and dogs in China have increased gradually...
Introduction Since the major part of costs in poultry production is related to feed, minimizing this part of the costs which depends on feed ingredients is very important. On the other hand, phosphorous is usually one of the expensive nutrients in poultry feed. Therefore, the amount of nutrients in feed ingredients, especially available phosphorus, has a very important role in lowering the cost of feed. The main form of storage of phosphorus (P) in plant feedstuffs is phytate...
Introduction Precision nutrition means diets are formulated as close as possible to requirements while avoiding any deficiency issues. Benefits of precision mineral nutrition can include reduced diet costs, reduced environmental impact, and reduced risk of toxicity. The major problem with precision mineral nutrition is increased risk of deficiency. Deficiency can be manifested as a clinical deficiency (e.g., grass tetany caused by inadequate magnesium), or as numerous subclinical...
Introduction The demand of herbal medicines has increased globally due to the growing recognition with common consideration that plant based medicines are safe, non-toxic, environmental friendly, easily available and affordable (Nikul, 2020; Alagbe et al., 2023). The efficacy of herbs can be linked to the presence of phytochemicals or bioactive compounds which performs therapeutic effects (antioxidants, anti-microbial, hepat-protective, immune-modulatory, hypolipidemic, anti-tumor,...
Introduction Eucalyptus is a medicinal plant that belongs to Myrtaceae family, originated in Australia but found worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions (Salari et al., 2006). In humans, eucalyptus leaf is used to reduce nasal congestion in common cold during cold winter months (Sadlon and Lamson, 2010). Eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) is a terpene oxide and major constituent (more than 70%) of eucalyptus essential oil (EEO), which is used as a flavoring agent in food...

1. Introduction Apricot ( Prunus armeniaca ) and Peach ( Prunus persica ) are the most important fruits grown and processed in Egypt. Apricot is primarily grown in Mediterranean nations, while it is also grown in Russia and the United States [1,2]. In addition, peaches are the primary species for a variety of cultivars that are widely grown around the world [3]. Thus, there are sustainable abundance amounts of both apricot and peach kernels worldwide, which are...
Introduction: Recent research has demonstrated that maternal dietary supplementation of LactoShield® (seaweed extract) had beneficial effects on the growth performance, immune status and gastrointestinal health of weanling pigs. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of maternal dietary LactoShield® inclusion on the reproductive performance of sows and the piglet during the suckling period. Materials and Methods: The farm...
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...
