Poultry is a homothermal animal, and its body covers with feathers to increase its cold resistance. However, Taiwan is an island that lies in the tropic of cancer, and the general climate is marine tropical. During summer, this mechanism is adverse to heat dissipation and causes heat stress. Heat stress is a familiar stress effect that will affect animals’ growth performance, productivity, and health. Heat stress affects livestock production results in increased demand for net...

Introduction Quail farming is very important for providing jobs and producing high quality protein at a low cost. Nutrition during the growing phase of the birds can influence their performance during the production phase. Most research has focused on the nutritional requirements of quails during the laying phase and there is little information about requirements during the growing phase. Quails are characterized by early sexual maturity (40 days), demanding feeding programs...

This study investigated the effects of Bacillus -based probiotics on performance and intestinal health in broiler challenged with Clostridium perfringens -induced necrotic enteritis. One-day-old Arbor Acre (n=480) were randomly assigned to four treatments with 10 cages of 12 birds. Dietary treatments were; basal diet negative control (NC), with no probiotics nor antibiotics formulated to contain 2,930 and 3,060 kcal/kg with 24.1 and 16.0% CP, for starter and finisher diet,...

High-shear dry extruded corn and soybeans and the quest for higher growth performance in modern broiler genetics. Feeding young broilers during the first 10 days post-hatch is the new frontier in poultry nutrition. The same holds true for any effort to boost life-time growth performance in modern genetics through nutrition. Research and commercial experience have shown that it is possible to boost overall growth performance by...

Poultry production programmes require elimination or reduction of the use of in-feed antibiotics growth promoters (AGP). This has led to an increase in the occurrence of necrotic enteritis, making it an economically significant poultry disease requiring an alternative nutritional interventions. Probiotics offer one alternative to AGP because they can elicit specific actions that promotes the development and maintenance of a stable gut microbiome, leading to a reduction in enteric disease and...

1. Introduction Similar to mammals, the liver in birds is involved in an array of metabolic and homeostatic functions and considered as a biochemical factory responsible for most of the synthesis, metabolism, excretion, and detoxification processes. It plays an important role in digestion and metabolism, regulating the production, storage, and release of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins [1]. The liver produces a variety of proteins, including blood proteins, enzymes, hormones,...

INTRODUCTION The huge increase in poultry production to meet the growing demand in Nigeria has led to the rise in antibiotic use, leading to a worrying increase in cases of antibiotic resistance diagnosed in animal and humans via direct contact, environmental contamination and food consumption, causing high cases of cancer and other ailments. According to NCI (2012), over 100 types of cancers affects humans, this negativity prompted the European Union (2006) to recommend other...

INTRODUCTION In China, Spain, Italy, Mexico and Peru, amongst other countries, the consumer demands chicken with yellow skin pigmentation. Since skin pigmentation is associated with health status and product freshness (Breithaupt 2007, Liu et al 2008, Hernandez-Velasco et al 2014), there is a large volume of whole chicken or parts commercialized with the skin (Baker and Günther 2004). The inclusion level of dietary pigment for broiler chickens...

1. Introduction Small-scale poultry production is a very common practice in rural households around the world, and several studies have evidenced that these production systems have played and continue to play an important domestic socio-economic role in many poor rural households [1,2]. Backyard poultry production systems (BPS) are the most popular systems within small-scale poultry production, where animals are usually kept without proper disease prevention or control...

Introduction Protein is a major and expensive component of animal feed, accounting for about 20% of the total dry matter content of swine and poultry diets. Soybean meal is the leading source of feed protein [ 1 ]. In the gut, protein is hydrolyzed by endogenous proteases, principally pepsin (EC 3.4.23.1), trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) and...

1. Introduction Heat stress (HS) has undesired effects on the growth performance [1,2] and meat quality [3] of broiler chickens. During HS, chickens seek to dissipate unwanted and excess body heat by increasing panting, resulting in alteration of blood acid/base status, which in turn can give rise to respiratory alkalosis [4] and disruptions in muscle membrane integrity [3]. Additionally, the work required to maintain body temperature consumes diverts energy from metabolic...

1. Introduction Antimicrobial drugs have a prominent role within the veterinary and animal sciences as they have been used not only for therapeutic and preventive purposes, but also as growth promoters [1]. Although the European Union has banned the latter practice, it is unfortunately still common in other countries [2,3]. Tetracyclines are the main antimicrobial drugs currently in use for veterinary purposes. Sulfonamides and macrolides are the next most common...

INTRODUCTION Phosphorus is one of the essential minerals for all the living organisms including poultry. Phosphorus being a part of energy currency, plays a critical role in cellular metabolism as well as also required in bone formation. Phosphorus is bound to phytic acid in plants thus doesn't get avail to poultry. To compensate this, additionally, Phosphorus source supplements such as dicalcium phosphate are added in the feed. This addition increases the feed cost and...
