Considering the livestock production, natural betaine plays a key role in the metabolism of monogastric animals. However, the role of betaine in ruminants and the rumen activity is underexplored until now.
Therefore, AGRANA invested in a research project to study the effect of natural betaine on the rumen activity.
In collaboration with the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna a recent stud ...

INTRODUCTION
For many years, broiler intestinal health was supported by the widespread use of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs). These AGPs are antibiotic substances that were added to the feed at subtherapeutic levels, leading to improved animal performance. In the European Union, the use of AGPs was banned in 2006 while the Center for Veterinary Medicine of the US Food and Drug.
Administr ...

Although their considerations are consistent, it must be considered, that in addition to our previous considerations, that the health challenge, mentioned above, constitutes one of the factors, which can compromise the performance of the birds, when the crude protein is reduced. This is due to the fact that the health challenge increases the demand for amino acids considered as non-es ...

Good day,
100% correct. We have tried lower protein diets in Canada as well, but almost always, higher protein diets are more economical and the performance is better as well. And I've tried supplementing with synthetic VAI as well.
What wasn't mention in the article was the protein level in the wheat used, as that makes a huge difference in the ability to lower protein levels and/or performa ...

Dear George Entz, Thank you for your message!I suppose that you mean as absolut %. First I want to highlight that it is possible to lower the crude protein only when we are adding the building blocks of the crude proteins, meaning the amino acids; the synthetic amino acids need to be supplied and the dM+C level and d.M+C/ d.Lysin ratio need to be kept at the same level. In our trial, we lowered th ...
