Minerals in poultry nutrition
Minerals in poultry nutrition are typically classified as macro- or micro-minerals, depending on the levels needed in the diet. The macro-minerals include calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. Requirements for the macro-minerals are typically expressed as a percentage of the diet, while the requirements for the micro-minerals are stated as parts per million. Although the quantities required for micro-minerals are lower than for macro-minerals, they play an essential role in the body's metabolism. The micro-minerals include copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc.
Animal feed organic trace minerals market demand is depicting a rapid expansion rate as these minerals are used in animal feeds to enhance bioavailability and increase the gut absorption. The organic trace minerals assist in activating essential enzymes and hormones which proves vital for livestock’s metabolic processes. Rising consumption of meat, poultry, and dairy products has given a considerable push to the global animal feed organic trace minerals market size. As per statistics,...

Introduction The use of in ovo technology is a very innovative field in the research and industry application, including novel means of vaccination and embryonic nutrient supplementation. As defined by the early work developed by Uni and Ferket (2003), in ovo feeding is the administration of exogenous nutrients and other agents into the amnion of the late-term avian embryo, and it can advance the development of the growing embryo before and after hatch. Similarly, in ovo feeding...

Enteric disorders are one of the most important groups of diseases which affect poultry production world-wide and they are continuing to cause high economic losses due to increased mortality rates, decreased weight gain, increased medication costs, and increased feed conversion rates (HAFEZ, 2011). Estimates of the annual costs of poultry-associated cases of salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis, two major causes of foodborne diseases in humans, in the United...

Introduction Vitamin D is a naturally synthesized lipid soluble vitamin and has a broad range of physiological properties, including profound effects upon immune system [1–3]. Ultraviolet B (UV-B) irradiation of epidermal cells constitutes the primary step for photolytic conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to Vitamin D. Modern poultry farming practices have led to an increase in density housing with minimal ultraviolet light B (UV-B) exposure. Thus, eggs produced from...

1. Introduction Sorghum is a problematic feed grain for chicken-meat production which has been considered in two reviews (Selle et al., 2010; Liu et al., 2015). A distinctive feature of sorghum is kafirin, the dominant protein fraction. Kafirin classically makes up 55% of sorghum protein and is present as discrete protein bodies located in the sorghum endosperm with a central core of a-kafirin enveloped by peripheral...

BACKGROUND Calcium (Ca) is an essential nutrient for poultry that is generally provided to laying hens at approximately 4.6% of the total feed volume. Calcium is usually supplied to layers as a calcite grit or flour i.e. limestone (CaCO 3 ) and also as part of the inorganic phosphorus (P) supplye.g. dicalcium or monocalcium phosphate. Though, in some markets, meat and bone meal may also contribute...
