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...

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...

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...

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...
