1. Introduction Often a seemingly straightforward aspect of nutrition reveals itself to be, upon closer inspection, not so simple after all. An illustration of such a conundrum is the nutrition of the newly hatched broiler chick. Conceptualizing the different challenges faced by the hatchling and solving them should be remarkably simple, but the difficulty lies in the complexity in the development of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), digestive physiology, immune system, and...

A feeding study was conducted to examine the efficacy of a synergistic blend of feed additives on growth performance, livability, gut integrity, immunity, caecal microflora and footpad health in broilers challenged with subclinical necrotic enteritis (NE). Additives were: A) synergistic blend of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), slow-release C12, target release butyrates, organic acids (OA) and a phenolic compound; B) synergistic blend of partly buffered OA with MCFA; C) synergistic blend of...

De oiled rice bran containing less than 1 %;fat is being used extensively in poultry feed However broiler feed plants are using additional fat by way of adding some volume of vegetable oil into the feeds in order to provide the desirable percentage of required fat. In the event residual fat in rice bran can be allowed to remain in the bran to the extent required then what would be the ideal percentage of fat that can be retained in the bran such that feed plants make use of this quality of...

Prevalence of numerous livestock diseases and increasing emphasis on animal health is expected to augment yeast market share for the animal feed application. The demand for high-quality meat has propelled significantly across the globe in recent years. In a bid to follow a high-protein diet, consumers are steadily shifting towards animal-based products. Use of yeast in animal feed could help meet this growing demand. The product can stimulate growth of infant and young aged...

Animal feed protein ingredients market share is poised to witness steady growth. This is credited mainly to the growing demand for protein ingredients in animal feed applications, and the burgeoning agricultural sector supported by evolving standards of living worldwide. The intensifying focus of farmers on the health of their livestock, and their efforts to prevent deteriorating health conditions and boost productivity will also add impetus to industry growth over the coming years....

Introduction Prevention of disease transmission and enhancement of growth and feed efficiency are critical factors in modern pig production. For more than 50 years enteric disease suppression and growth promotion have been effectively achieved by the inclusion of various antibiotics or chemotherapeutics at subtherapeutic doses into diets. The estimated economic benefits in terms of improved growth rates ranged from 3.3 to 8.8% and feed efficiency from 2.5 to 7.0% (Viaene...

The inclusion of plant extracts in livestock feed supplements has been widely researched as a strategy to replace synthetic feed additives and improve animal health and production traits. Among several plant metabolites, tannins have attracted significant attention in regards to dairy cows. Tannins are water soluble plant polyphenol metabolites known for a binding affinity for proteins, amino acids, metal ions and polysaccharides (Makkar, 2003; Mueller-Harvey, 2006). They have the ability to...

INTRODUCTION The calls for the promotion of variable alternatives to modern health management practices need to be intensified as the rate of shortfalls in the supply of animal protein to the teeming world population continues to widen especially among resource-poor citizens of developing countries. The high cost and non-availability of chemically synthesized allopathic drugs among the local people that constitute the majority of the livestock farmers promote these shortfalls as...

INTRODUCTION Campylobacter spp. is well recognized as the leading cause of bacterial foodborne diarrheal disease and poses a serious economical and health risk globally (Skanseng et al., 2010; Silva et al., 2011; Meunier et al., 2015). The most common route of campylobacteriosis infection in humans is the handling or consumption of contaminated poultry meat (Lee and Newell, 2006). Campylobacter spp. is a commensal organism found in cattle, sheep, swine, wildlife, and domestic...

Introduction The purpose of this booklet is to provide both a semi-technical and non-technical understanding of the various yeast products offered to, and used by, the feed industry. It does not deal with animal research and product efficacy, but merely describes what the products are and the benefits they are purported to provide. Efficacy in the animal is too complex a subject to deal with in this short booklet. The hope is that the...

1 Introduction Due to wastewater production and the manufacture of polymeric materials through different industrial processes, industrial development has posed numerous environmental challenges [1]. Water and land contamination may result from wanton dumping of this waste (with or without adequate treatment) and the polymer. Notwithstanding the heinous negative effects on soil and water [2] this impacts negatively on the wellbeing of living creatures [3]. This has been a major...
