1. Introduction The current global challenge of achieving food security and ensuring access to sufficient, nutritious, and safe food for all while maintaining or improving agricultural sustainability has been presented in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 2, which refers to Zero Hunger. This goal emphasizes the necessity to end hunger while achieving food security through improved nutrition and promote sustainable agricultural practices...

In previous assays (Macelline et al., 2022), data on egg production rate (EP) and egg mass (EM) of Isa Brown layers from 27 to 33 weeks of age (peak production -PP) and from 42 to 48 weeks of age (Post PP) were used to predict amino acid (AA) requirements by fitting linear broken-line (LBL), and quadratic broken-line (QBL) models. Subsequently, the ideal ratios of Ile, Met + Cys, Thr, Trp, and Val relative to Lys for maximal EM and EP were determined. The current feeding study was...

I would happy if you help me out. I am a post graduate student of Animal Nutrition dept., I have assignment that is bordering me, We were asked to use excel to design a feed software for monogastric animals with local feedstufs, the programme must be least cost basis, it must has input point (where the required nutrient can be input) and output point where the result can be read and print (feed formula in kg or percentage)....

In feed formulation, Six Sigma methodology helps achieve high-quality standards by minimizing variability. Applying it to ingredients like maize and soybean meal allows us to control nutrient content precisely, ensuring consistency in feed quality. A bell curve (normal distribution) visually represents the variability in a nutrient (like crude protein, CP) and helps identify a target range that can maximize feed efficiency while minimizing risks of nutrient excess or deficiency. #...

A growing population that we have to feed, by 2050 approximately 9 billion inhabitants. Climate change, global warming, atmospheric phenomena (hurricanes, floods, prolonged drought that drastically affect grain harvests). Overfishing in our seas that is decimating and extinct some marine species. ...

I. INTRODUCTION The meat chicken industry is growing rapidly as a result of an increasing population, relatively low production costs and excellent marketability with regards to affordability, sustainability and minimal religious restrictions. Poultry diets with lower crude protein (CP) have generated global interest from the meat chicken industry due to the benefits concluded by published literature. Low protein (LP) diets have been identified to lower feed costs, improve feed...

Max-profit and stochastic approaches use production, market and nutrient variability data to formulate diets by more economically sustainable means; giving increased flexibility, opportunity and capacity for the Australian poultry industry to cope and thrive under market challenges (Moss et al. 2020; Sterling et al., 2005). However, in order for producers to accurately formulate diets using max-profit and stochastic techniques, it is likely that some data is presently lacking and there may...

Nelson Ruiz (Nelson Ruiz Nutrition LLC) A set of 24 solvent extracted commercial soybean meal (CSBM) samples, which corresponded to the same lots of CSBM used in the field, were evaluated. The CSBM were from different origins (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago, U.S.). The objective herein was to evaluate the relationship between KOH protein solubility (KOHPS, a measurement of overprocessing) and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA, a...

I. INTRODUCTION Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) are major components of dietary fibre found in feed ingredients that consist of both soluble and non-soluble polysaccharides. NSPs possess antinutritive properties that can hinder bird performance and alter gut physiology. These antinutritive properties include high gut viscosity, encapsulation of starch and amino acids, sticky droppings, modification of gut physiology, and an overall reduction in bird performance. Feed enzymes...

Tri-butyrin is regarded as an ideal molecule to supply both butyrate and mono-butyrin to the small intestine (SI) to maintain intestinal function, modulate the immune response and improve broiler growth performance (Moquet et al., 2016; Moquet et al., 2018). Valerins have been shown to positively affect the morphology of the SI mucosa and reduce the incidence of necrotic enteritis (Onrust et al., 2018). To date, little information is available as to the extent to which valerin and butyrin in...

In recent years, the egg industry is aiming to prolong the life cycle of laying hens, both for reasons of profitability and for sustainability. However, the goal to produce 500 eggs in a 100-week cycle is hindered by the declining performance of older hens. It is hypothesised that nutritional strategies can be implemented to support the health of these animals, thereby improving laying persistency. The objective of this trial was to investigate the effects of two sources of butyrate...
