Tropical and subtropical regions across South and Southeast Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa contribute a major share of worlds maize, sorghum, groundnuts, cottonseed and other important feed ingredients. However, these regions also face a major challenge- climatic condition that strongly encourage fungal growth and mycotoxin contamination. High temperatures, heavy humidity and regular rainfall create an ideal environment where several toxin producing fungi can grow...

1. Introduction Corn plays an important role in broiler diets due to its high energy contribution, which makes it an essential ingredient for optimal development and productive performance of broilers [1]. On average, corn provides around 3378 kcal/kg ME [2], which represents around 65% of the energy content of a typical broiler diet [3]. Most of the energy value of corn comes from its high amount of digestible starch. Additionally, corn is rich in essential amino acids such as...

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...

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...

1. Introduction Oats (Avena sativa L.) have become an increasingly important cereal crop due to their health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases (Thies et al., 2014), and their growing incorporation into human diets (Rasane et al., 2015). For example, corresponding with increased oat consumption trends, oat production in the United Kingdom reached 986 thousand tonnes in 2024, representing a 19 % increase compared to the previous year (DEFRA, 2024)....

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 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...

INTRODUCTION In the tropics, grasses are the main source of food for livestock; however, during the drought season, growth and quality of forages is low, affecting animals productivity. Therefore to evaluate alternatives for forage replacement during that period, turns necessary. Sugarcane is a crop produced in more than 100 countries worldwide, and its biomass production exceeds that of any other forage, making it a good animal feed strategy for sustainable agricultural...
