Impact of Trace Mineral Status on Biological Function: The nutritional status of animals is an indicator of their productivity and reproductive capabilities. In tropical countries like India, mineral imbalances or deficiencies are prevalent . (Mc Dowell et a l., 1993) . Livestock in India typically rely on grazing and receive minimal or no mineral supplementation, apart from common salt. (Garg et al ., 2005) . Additionally, the mineral content of locally...

Marked deficiencies are unlikely to occur in modern commercial production systems; however, marginal deficiencies could arise under certain conditions such as poor feed formulation or low feed intake. The occurrence and severity of mineral deficiencies are influenced by the duration of time that deficient diets are fed, prior mineral status, and the physiological state of the animals (Hill,2000). ...

I. INTRODUCTION Severe feather pecking (SFP) is an abnormal behaviour which reduces both hen welfare and the efficiency of egg production. While the specific causes are unknown, it is acknowledged to be multifactorial, complex and unpredictable (Rodenburg et al., 2013; Hartcher et al., 2016). The problem is compounded because the behaviour seems to spread rapidly via social learning (Zeltner et al., 2000) and is therefore difficult to control in large groups of hens. A reliable...

I. INTRODUCTION Currently, the majority of feed used in the production of broilers is fed in pelleted or crumbled form. One of the major issues in the manufacture of pellets is the application of high conditioning temperatures. The need to reduce potential levels of feed-borne pathogens such as salmonella and campylobacter for feed safety and to achieve high pellet quality has led to the application of relatively high (between 80 and 90 ºC) conditioning temperatures during...

1. Introduction Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by an apicomplexan parasite of the genus Eimeria, which infects different parts of the intestinal tract depending on the species of Eimeria [1]. Eimeria spp. invade intestinal cells and cause physical damage to the intestinal epithelium, producing hemorrhagic diarrhea and disrupting the normal functioning of the intestinal tract [2]. This leads to impaired nutrient absorption and compromised gut health [3]. On the other hand,...

Introduction Corn processing plays a pivotal role in the bioethanol industry, utilizing both wet and dry methods to extract valuable components from corn. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each approach is essential for producers aiming to optimize efficiency and product quality, particularly in the production of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS). In this article, we explore the two processing methods, their implications for DDGS production, and the...

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. #...

I would be grateful if somebody could explain me: A flock was vaccinated with Ma 5 and clone 30. Sample collected 3 weeks post vaccination. Using Elisa the response to IB was low although within the expected range. Elisa was conducted for Mg. Ms., ART. In addition to AI, the titer was normal. PCR was conducted only Ms was detected at Ct 29. I would like to ask why the mean titer of Ms was low. ...

I. INTRODUCTION The move towards lower protein diets in the UK has been driven by several factors over the last 20 years or so. In the early 1990’s the transition was made to formulating using digestible amino acids rather than total; this immediately gave a reduction in protein content and was, in hindsight, a useful cost reduction and performance improving step. By 1996, though, the challenges became apparent with the voluntary removal of meat-and-bone meal, ahead of the...

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...

I. INTRODUCTION Poultry feed is routinely pelleted for many reasons such as increased feed intake, feed efficiency, and feed hygiene (Abdollahi et al., 2013). However, pelleting is not without its drawbacks, particularly when using higher pelleting temperatures (Abdollahi et al., 2010). The industry has been trending towards ever higher conditioning temperatures due, at least in part, to efforts to improve feed hygiene and thus decrease reliance on in-feed antibiotics for prevention...
