Introduction Piglet post-weaning diets are by far the most expensive diets in the swine industry, mainly due to the need to reduce Post-Weaning Diarrhea (PWD) and optimize growth performance by including highly digestible feed ingredients with low content of antinutritive factors. It would therefore be economically advantageous, if some of the expensive protein sources that are generally considered necessary in diets for newly weaned piglets could be substituted with soy bean...

Introduction Co-products resulting from the seed of the cotton plant ( Gossypium hirsutum L. ) after oil extraction represent the third protein source available for animal feed worldwide, in accordance with Ash and Dohlman(1), and it is considered an excellent alternative to prepare feed for pigs. However, its application in feeding non-ruminants as a single protein supplementation in diets is limited, due to its high crude fiber. Diets with a high concentration of crude...

GuanAMINO® is a creatine source that ensures optimal nutrient utilization and returns over feed cost. Furthermore, it spares metabolic energy and works towards an optimized amino acid metabolism. Not sure why you should add GuanAMINO® to your feeds? Contact your Evonik representative for more information.

There has been a lot of talk and discussions on the benefits of reducing or completely removing the use of antibiotics in livestock, particularly in poultry and swine, here in Asia and yet, so far, only a few countries have implemented regulations. As many antimicrobials are used in the livestock sector, studies have suggested that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) may be widely prevalent. Regulation on antimicrobial use is either weak or non-existent, complicated by sub-optimal enforcement and...

1. Introduction Tissue-specific stem cells have the potential to self-renew or differentiate into mature cells, contributing to tissue growth and homeostasis. Muscle specific stem cells, satellite cells, maintain the ability to self-renew or differentiate and are required for post-natal muscle growth and repair [1–3]. The use of novel gene sequencing technology in the investigation of the genomic regulation of satellite cell fate has provided insight into how the satellite...

Introduction Feed cost represents 70% of the total cost of poultry and pork production (Patience et al., 2015); therefore, a number of processing techniques have been developed to maximize utilization of nutrients in feed ingredients and diets for optimum animal growth performance. Oilseed meals are commonly exposed to varying degrees of heat to remove solvents used during oil extraction, increase nutrient digestibility, improve storage life, and to reduce anti-nutritional...

Deoxynivalenol and fusaric acid have been shown to sequentially elevate brain tryptophan, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations, and these neurotransmitters can lead to a decrease in feed intake. Zearalenone (ZON) and its metabolites (α- and β-zearalenol), α-zearalenol is the predominant metabolite of ZON in pigs. The ZON and its metabolites disrupt reproductive processes via mimicking of the action of...

Introduction Amino acids (AAs) are natural substances containing both amino and acid groups. Proline, which contains an imino group but not an amino group, is loosely considered as an AA in nutrition and metabolism. 1 Protein (the polymer of AAs) is the major component of growth in animals and has been a focus of nutritional research over the past century. 2 Proteinogenic (protein-creating) in animals are alanine, arginine, asparagine, asparate, cysteine,...
