INTRODUCTION In practice it is very difficult, if not impossible; to formulate diets with natural feed ingredients that will provide all the amino acids needed by broiler chickens in adequate quantities. The optimal use of liquid and synthetic amino acids in animal diets, therefore, becomes important not only in nutrition and economic aspects, but also in environmental aspects. It is well known that optimal use synthetic amino acid improves amino acid balance and protein...

Akanmu Ismail Dear, Thank you so much for your question. Florfenicol price,as we predict, has over 80% possilibity to go down further. At present time, Florfenicol is produced with raw material D-ester chemically syntherised with higher cost. The price has been going on bottom line at loss because the factories want to sell more when some practical changes comes. The practical change is that D-ester will be available by fermentation, by this way the cost will...

CHOLINE AS A NUTRIENT: BASIC FUNCTIONS Choline is an essential nutrient in most livestock species. It plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter synthesis (acetylcholine), cell membrane signaling (phospholipids), myelin synthesis and lipid transport (lipoproteins). Choline is a precursor of phosphatidylcholine, a phospholipid that besides being part of the composition of cell membranes, is involved in the generation and composition of bile secretions; therefore,...

APIs MARKET
The vet APIs market underwent a profound adjustment in the Q1-Q2 of 2023, but most industry insiders are hoping for a market rebound in the second half of 2023; the main reason is they are optimistic about the recovery of consumer demand in the year. The month of July has ended, and the rebound shows no sign of arriving anytime soon; the lukewarm downstream market still hasn't improved, and the price of most of the products is running low and steady. Doxycycline failed...

This study was to investigate the effects of Ganoderma lucidum fermented products (GLFP) on the growth performances, carcass characteristics, and immune response of Native chickens. This article focuses on the morphology of the duodenal villus by the Ganoderma lucidum fermented products (GLFP). A total of three hundred and twelve day-old Native chickens were randomly grouped with equal sex in four groups for three replicates as following treatments: (1) basal diet...

The world is currently experiencing a high cost soybean meal environment, driven by multiple factors including supply-demand disruption due to ongoing transportation congestion, escalating input prices such as fertilizer, as well as supply-demand imbalances due to geopolitical conflicts. Together these factors have pushed soybean meal prices to levels not seen in many years (See Part I). This price pressure has led many feed producers to evaluate the use of non-traditional soybean products...

Introduction When it comes to incubating eggs, one of the most crucial factors to consider is humidity. Proper humidity levels during incubation can greatly impact hatchability, embryonic development, and chick quality. In this article, we will explore the relationship between humidity and egg size and how they affect the incubation process. We will delve into the scientific research and provide practical advice for achieving optimal results. ...

Introduction The nutrient content of the hatching egg influences the development and growth of embryos during incubation and the post-hatch performance of chicks (Al-Murrani, 1982; Shafey et al., 2013). The administration of nutrients into the hatching eggs is called in ovo feeding (Uni et al., 2005). The overall aim of in ovo feeding is to supply adequate nutrients to the growing embryo. In ovo feeding improves the hatchability of eggs, the viability and weight of chicks at...

Introduction Poultry productivity depends on the combined effects of several factors such as the level of nutrients in feed, proper management practices, and the health status of the birds. To keep the enteric infections under control and promote growth, the supplementation of antibiotics in the poultry feed has been a regular practice. However, the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) is restricted or banned in several countries due to the public health concern of...
