Introduction Poultry production has experienced a lot of remarkable growth within the past forty years, but there are still some problems confronting the industry, one of which is the high cost of feed materials. Recent data have shown that feed cost constitutes about 70-75% of the total cost of production, this could be basically attributed to the stiff competition between humans and animals for grains and upward increase in human population, poor government policies and...

The global liquid feed market trends suggest a fast-paced recovery from the losses incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as manufacturers have been signing mergers, partnerships, and acquisitions worldwide. Over the next few years, the consumption of supplements such as trace minerals, vitamins, fats, phosphoric acid, and urea in animal feed products is poised to see an uptick, thanks to the rising support from government incentives and programs.
By 2027, the ...
Numerous companies in the animal feed protein ingredients market are depicting a keen interest in the adoption of various strategies for strengthening their industry position. Several of them are showing a greater inclination toward acquisitions, mergers, collaborative agreements, and partnerships for establishing a strong industry foothold.
To illustrate, in December 2021, ADM acquired Sojaprotein, a major provider of non-GMO soy ingredients. The deal represented a substantial...
Thanks to the rising adoption of pets since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the selenium yeast market forecast has been gaining traction. Millennials have been spending leniently on pet food, pet care, and other pet products to ensure optimal health of their furry companions. More veterinary practitioners and animal nutritionists have been recommending the use of selenium-fortified pet food due to its numerous benefits.
By 2027, the global ...
Growing number of research programs pertaining to the uses of essential oils for animal health will support the global eubiotics market forecast. As concentrated liquids with plant-derived volatile aromatic compound extracts, essential oil-based eubiotics are garnering considerable attention from the animal husbandry sector as they play a crucial part as digestive stimulants for optimal animal health.
DSM, Friesland Campina, BASF SE, Alltech, and Cargill, Inc. are some top eubiotics...
The importance of vitamin nutrition in poultry feeding has been recognized for decades, yet precise vitamin requirements for modern, high producing have not been investigated. Because of their low inclusion rates, vitamins have a relatively small impact on the cost of feed. Many vitamins lose activity over time or under high-temperature feed processing. Vitamins, especially the water-soluble vitamins, are tolerated at many times the established minimum recommended levels. Finally, the...
“As per a report by Global Market Insights Inc, the global liquid feed market share is estimated to be more than $107.5 billion by 2027.”

Introduction Maternal nutrition during gestation and early life events impact offspring development throughout life, in a phenomenon known as developmental programming. The Barker hypothesis explains that undernutrition during specific developmental periods in pregnancy can create a scenario of pre- and post-partum metabolic mismatch (Hales and Barker, 2001). Metabolic mismatch occurs when offspring of undernourished cows are ‘programed’ to expect limited nutritional...
INTRODUCTION The global production of chicken eggs is constantly increasing, e.g., 37.4 million tons of chicken-eggs were produced in 1990, and 80 million tons in 2018. The WHO has estimated that production will have to increase four-fold to meet the global demand for chicken eggs in the next two decades (1, 2). Hence, the poultry industry must be increasingly efficient despite being one of the most efficient and technologically advanced animal production activities...
Increasing efforts towards animal health and wellbeing will foster the demand for alternative proteins in animal feed. The growing intake of meat and animal products has encouraged farmers as well as solution providers to incorporate various affordable feed management strategies for the betterment of animal health and the environment. There is also a surging need for protein-rich and nutritious foods in order to reimagine the global food system security.
This has paved the way for...
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...
