DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Soybean meal is the most commonly used oilseed meal in United States poultry diets. Soybeans are primarily grown for their oil content and a by-product of the oil extraction process is defatted soybean meal. Soybean meal is often referred to as the “Gold Standard” of protein ingredients used for poultry because it contains a high amount of protein, e.g., 44 to 49 % CP, and an amino acid profile that is complementary to that of corn and other cereal...

Introduction Aquaculture has become a vital component of global food production, contributing significantly to food security, nutritional requirements, and economic development [4]. In India, aquaculture plays a crucial role in the rural economy, with Indian major carps, particularly Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Catla (Catla catla), being predominant species in freshwater fish culture. Efficient feed management practices are essential for sustainable aquaculture, as feed constitutes...

Introduction The first phase of lactation remains the most nutritionally stressful period for a dairy cow. Milk yield rises sharply while dry matter intake (DMI) increases more slowly, creating a temporary negative energy and protein balance. Many farmers respond by adding more protein, assuming it will automatically boost milk. Yet excessive protein rarely improves yield and often leads to higher nitrogen waste, liver stress, and feed costs. This article revisits the...

Effective poultry nutrition depends heavily on the quality of protein sources, with soybean meal (SBM) serving as the industry benchmark. This technical analysis, based on research and protocols established by Mahmoud Abdallah and the technical team at Advance Support , highlights the critical balance required during the thermal processing of soybeans to neutralize anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) without compromising...

Dear colleagues,
In this case, I summarize the recent paper entitled “Phytogenics in swine nutrition and their effects on growth performance, nutrient utilization, gut health, and meat quality” published by Madesh et al. in Springer Nature's Journal Stress Biology.
ABSTRACT
Phytogenic additives have undergone extensive testing in swine production to determine their effects on gastrointestinal function and health, as well as their implications for the...

Introduction Advancing our knowledge of animal nutrition has been a globally significant research field for approaching a century. The vast knowledge accumulated on how to meet the nutritional requirements of livestock has allowed researchers to evolve towards use of nutrition to achieve the wider aims of global food security. In parallel to the highly focused advances in animal nutrition, other researchers were grappling with the seemingly intractable conflict between globalized...

Introduction It is estimated that the human world population will exceed nine billion by 2050 (United Nations, 2019), raising a global concern over food security. Increasing consumption of animal protein has been suggested as one of the sustainable strategies to address food security, as it is a rich source of the most common limiting essential amino acids (FAO, 2013; Gorissen and Witard, 2018; Van Vliet et al., 2015), as well as vitamin B12 (Obersby et al., 2013), calcium (Magkos et...

Introduction As the world population continues to grow, along with the consumption of animal-sourced foods, animal production in the world is expected to grow in the decades ahead. The OECD and FAO estimated that, due to population growth and the ongoing transition towards a higher intake of animal products, global livestock production will grow by 14% from 2020 to 2029 (OECD/FAO, 2022; Ritchie and Roser, 2019). However, the statistic differs between continents and regions of the...

WHY IN VITRO METHODS MATTER Traditionally, diet formulation has relied on in vivo trials to determine digestible and metabolizable energy. These trials are accurate but slow, costly, and raise ethical concerns. Existing in vitro systems, meanwhile, are often too simplistic or poorly standardized to replace live-animal trials. Simulated Digestion System (SDS III) changes this. Developed over more than a decade of research, it uses computer-controlled digestion to simulate the...
