Introduction The United States (US) has three main broiler chicken production systems which mandate that birds have outdoor access. The first is certified organic production overseen by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which requires that birds have access to the outdoors, with shade, shelter, exercise areas, fresh air, direct sunlight, and protection from predators year-round [1]. The second is free-range poultry production, overseen by the USDA, where...

Stress is a term which is very commonly used in today’s poultry and livestock rearing. Although the classical school of thought has always considered within the prism of “Heat Stress” which is true and holds its essence in today’s poultry and livestock rearing. However, with the advancement in the rearing of poultry and livestock, there has been lot of measures which have been taken to improve the productive parameters of birds. This has been possible primarily...

Introduction It is well known that humans need food in order to survive. When all people, at all times, lack physical and financial access to sufficient, secure, and nourishing food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life, food insecurity results [1]. According to [2], around 795 million people globally suffer from chronic undernourishment, and Africa is responsible for more than 60% of the world’s food insecurity. With a hunger...

Introduction Nepal’s poultry industry has seen a significant and rapid growth in the last decade, contributing more than 4% to the national gross domestic product (GDP) [1, 2]. Majority of the poultry products are supplied by numerous commercial farms (54% of total poultry production) scattered throughout the country. Backyard poultry also accounts for significant proportion of the total poultry production (46%); poultry meat and eggs are an easy source for protein and...

1. Introduction “Feed-food competition” was defined as “the tensions and trade-offs between two alternative uses for edible crops: direct consumption by humans versus feeding livestock” (1). However, feed-food competition includes the use of production resources, such as land, wild fish, and water, and labor, capital, and ecosystem services. The allocation of these resources between all their possible uses is often determined by which end use is most...

1. Introduction In animal husbandry, antibiotics are principally used to prevent, control, and treat diseases. However, they have also been extensively used as growth promoters [1,2]; this practice has been banned in Europe and the U.S. [3,4] but is still widespread in other regions, especially in rural areas, where farmers tend to depend more on antibiotics. Various countries lack legislative measurements to control antibiotic use. Moreover, farmers are not appropriately...

Very good points were raised in this discussion and we see that different approaches are possible. Congrats to all of you. I also would like to add some points that I think we need to take into consideration to better use enzymes: 1-we need to know the amount of antinutritional factors and how they affect each specific feed, for example, soluble Arabinoxylans from one raw material can affect the digestibility of other raw material; 2 - The amount of nutritional factors identified as...

1 Introduction Amino acids are organic compounds containing both amino (—NH 2 ) and carboxyl (—COOH) groups. Due to the presence of asymmetric carbon, all amino acids except glycine exhibit optical activity and exist as D- and L-isoforms or enantiomers (Lehninger et al., 2005). The asymmetric α-carbon imparts chirality, a phenomenon where the molecule is not superimposable to its mirror images in space. Due to this, amino acids except glycine exist in...

Introduction Routine supplementation of dietary Cu, as well as other trace minerals, is intended to prevent deficiencies that originate from the lack of sufficient amounts of this micromineral in the feeds. Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is traditionally utilized as the source Cu of supplementation in poultry feeds because of its wide availability and low cost (1). Total supplemental Cu in commercially formulated broiler feeds is variable, as can be observed in the...

In 2023 mycotoxins semiannual survey, Life Rainbow Biotech randomly collected 152 feed samples of raw materials and feed mills in farms and analyzed. The samples were tested for aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, and B3), and deoxynivalenol (DON) by the ELISA Mycotoxin analysis kit. Contamination in animal feed 152 feed samples collected, and 77% were contaminated with fumonisins ( table 1 ). The maximum concentrations of aflatoxins,...

Dear Dr. Ivey. It's always a pleasure to read your comments, especially the ones related to the use of mathematical modeling. I do understand (at least I hope) the concept you put forward on how to establish impact of enzymes on individual ingredients' nutritional matrix. I think it might work reasonably well as long as we are dealing with very simple diets. As we increase the number of ingredients (energy/protein supplying ones) the proposed mathematics proposed becomes quite...

The enzyme products that have been developed are of great value to the broiler producer. We know commercial enzyme products release nutrients from the bulk ingredients that make the ingredients more valuable. Typically, a successful product improves value well beyond its cost. And we know that enzyme products named for the same enzyme can have other beneficial enzymes from the fermentation process that make them different, as well. The best way to use an enzyme product would be to know how...

INTRODUCTION Salmonella spp. is the second most prevalent zoonotic pathogen in the European Union, and strictly related to poultry production, responsible for 60,050 human gastrointestinal infections during 2021 . In terms of the most significant serovars, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium accounted for approximately 54.6% and 11.4% of the reported cases, respectively. However, salmonelosis can be...
