Protein is the second most expensive nutrient in animal feed formulation, after energy. Diets which have excess crude protein can overload the gastrointestinal tract with excess amino acids and undigested protein (Apajalahti and Vienola, 2016), resulting in impaired feed efficiency, health and welfare issues as well as negative environmental impacts via excess nitrogen excretion. Reducing dietary protein in poultry diets can help to mitigate some of these negative effects. In poultry diets,...
INTRODUCTION Coccidiosis remains one of the most significant diseases affecting poultry production globally. It is well-recognized that infection with Eimeria parasites occurs in every location where chickens are raised and these infections influence growth, feed efficiency, mortality and the susceptibility to other diseases. As a result, the economic impact of coccidiosis is likely greater than any other disease affecting poultry production, with a recent global estimate of...
Glucagon-like peptide (GLP) is one of the major intestinal hormones and has two subtypes, GLP-1 and GLP-2. GLP-1 is a 36-amino acid peptide released from intestinal L cells in response to ingested nutrients [1]. In the gut, this peptide hormone performs a variety of physiological and biological roles. Some of these functions include enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release, inhibiting glucagon secretion, increasing pancreatic β cell growth [10, 27], decreasing food intake [1],...
BG-PRO is an intrinsically heat stable, multi-potent protease enzyme feed additive that optimizes the digestibility of proteins in poultry feed ingredients. It is a broad-spectrum protease having acid, neutral & alkaline protease activities that work on all protein sources....

One of the greatest challenges to production facing poultry farmers in India is heat stress and the strain that it causes to the bird. Climatic conditions in India are such there is intense radiant energy for an extended period of time. Poultry create a large quantity of metabolic heat and accumulate additional heat from radiant energy. Heat production and accumulation, coupled with compromised cooling capability because of environmental conditions, causes heat load in the bird to increase...

As producers reduce antibiotic use, scientists examine new strategies to improve bird growth and health
Poultry scientists are investigating new ways to keep birds healthy and shift the poultry industry away from widespread use of antibiotics. Researchers are especially keen to improve antimicrobial strategies for organically raised chickens, which are not given antibiotics.
According to a new paper...
A medium sized broiler day old chick supplier into the Indonesian market, P.T. Peternakan Ayam Manggis, use Cobb 500 grandparent stock and have a production base of about 800,000 parent stock. They also have Hisex layer breeders and sell day old layers. Over the last decade, since switching to Cobb for broilers, they have been improving performance with investments in feed milling and other sectors of production but performance was still below expected and the appearance of clinical...

1. Introduction Plant compounds that possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties have the potential to replace antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diets, especially since in most countries, the use of in-feed antibiotics has been banned [1]. The idea behind this intervention is to avoid antimicrobial resistance and residual effects posed by the systematic use of antibiotics, but to maintain high performance, bird health and to produce safe food [2]. Globally, many...
