1. Introduction Taste perception influences feed intake guiding nutrient choices [1,2]. It has been widely assumed that the sense of taste in avian species is not as accurate as in mammals, as they have fewer taste buds [3]. However, the ratio of taste buds to oral cavity volume in birds appears to be higher than in most mammals [4]. Recent behavioural and genomic studies have found that birds have a highly developed sense of taste [1,5,6]. Poultry possesses a...

Background Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an enveloped single-stranded positive sense RNA virus belonging to the Order Nidovirales, the family Coronaviridae and the genus Alphacoronavirus (Saif et al. [1]). Following detection in the US swine population during May, 2013, the virus spread rapidly across the country and 6317 cases of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) have been confirmed in 29 states as of May 3, 2014 [2,3]. While little information is known regarding the...

1. Introduction Effective functionality and health of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are important factors in determining animal performance [1]. These aspects are particularly relevant in poultry farming, where animals capable of growing rapidly within a short period of time are needed. Three components of gut health have previously been suggested: diet, mucosa (which is, in turn, characterized by the digestive epithelium, the gut-associated lymphoid tissue and the...

I. INTRODUCTION Global chicken-meat production has been predicted to increase considerably between 2005 and 2050 (Alexandratos and Bruisma, 2012) and this demands sustainable practices. Reducing dietary crude protein (CP) substantially without compromising broiler performance has the potential to provide tangible reductions in nitrogen excretion and environmental pollution, with improved bird welfare outcomes and economic benefits (Kidd and Choct, 2017). Substantial...

1. Introduction It is well known that female and male broilers chickens are separately reared in the Italian production system, as the consumers seek three different market classes of birds: the so-called light-, medium- and heavy-size broilers. In particular, heavy birds are male broiler chickens that reach 3.4–3.6 kg of live weight during 54–58 day rearing cycles, in order to provide carcasses around 2.5- to 2.6-kg for the production of cut-up and further processed...

1. Introduction Poultry and fish are both increasing in popularity as protein sources in human diets. Fish consumption has increased by 122% between 1990 and 2018 [1] with an over 500% rise in aquaculture production globally over the same timescale. Salmon production is estimated to reach 2.7 million tonnes (MT) by 2021, compared to 0.8 MT in 2000 [2]. Similarly, poultry meat production is also increasing year on year and is predicted to have reached 137 MT in 2020 [1]. This...

Cover cropping is a management practice in which fields are planted not with the specific goal of a harvested crop, but to provide ground cover that benefits the farm and its surrounding ecosystem. In a cover crop system, the field is seeded into a mix of plants whose whole purpose is to protect and enhance the soil after the production crop has been harvested. These can include species such as cereal rye, triticale, oats, vetch, clover, turnips and radishes.
There’s...

Introduction Barley ranks fourth in global cereal production after corn, wheat and rice. About 65% of the world’s barley produced is fed to animals, including poultry. Australia is a significant global producer of barley, ranking in the top five countries with about 5% of global production and is among the top three barley exporters accounting for about 30% of malt and 20% of feed barley trade. Australia is a reliable supplier of two row...

Introduction Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by some filamentous fungi that grow naturally in many commodities around the world [1,2]. In Brazil, contamination of substrates by mycotoxigenic fungi is rather common, since climatic conditions favor their development and the production of mycotoxins. These substances are chiefly produced by three fungal genera: Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium [3]. Of these, the genus Fusarium is of great importance for it...

As renewable diesel emerges as the ideal biofuel, soybean oil demand is expected to erupt, and U.S. Soy is poised to meet demand.
The announcement of unlikely partnerships, such as Loves and Cargill, Marathon Petroleum and ADM and Chevon and Bunge, have appeared on front pages of newspapers across the United States.
“It’s clear that sustainability is a bigger and bigger business driver around the world,” says Jim Sutter, CEO of the U.S. Soybean Export...

The surge in corn prices has left pig producers looking for cost-effective alternatives. Tony Edwards explains that although barley contains less digestible energy than corn and wheat, because of its higher concentration of crude fiber, it is suitable for all types of pigs and provides more amino acids and more phosphorus than corn. World grain production is dominated by corn followed by wheat, rice, barley and sorghum. These grains are used for a...

I. INTRODUCTION Antibiotic growth promoters have been successfully utilized in the past to control gut dysbiosis (Dibner and Richards, 2005). However, poultry production is changing because of consumer and governmental pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics (Cervantes, 2015). Little or no attention is given by nutritionists to understanding the fibre composition in poultry diets and their role in gut health...

Foodborne diseases & global scenario: Up to 30% of the inhabitants in developed countries may be affected by food-borne illness each year and the problems are likely to be even more serious in developing countries. The global occurrence of food-borne disease is difficult to evaluate, but in 2005 it was projected that 22 lakhs people, including 18 lakhs children, died from diarrheal diseases(WHO,2015). Microbiological hazards represent 93% of the incidents of food-borne...

Introduction Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the most cultivated cereals around the world. It has a relevant role in economy and society due to its high nutritional value and productive potential [1,2]. Brazil is the third major producer of corn, after the United States and China [3]. Most Brazilian states are corn producers, but the largest volume of the cereal is harvested in the mid-west, the southeast and the south regions. Considering the 2018/2019 corn harvest, the leading...
