Poultry nutrition - Other additives
Alternative feed additives have promising importance in broiler production due to the ban on the use of certain antibiotics. The most used antibiotic alternatives in broiler production are phytogenics, organic acids, prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, and their derivatives. Antibiotic alternatives have been reported to increase feed intake, stimulate digestion, improve feed efficiency, increase growth performance, and reduce the incidence of diseases by modulating the intestinal microbiota and immune system, inhibiting pathogens, and improving intestinal integrity. Simply, the gut microbiota is the target to raise the health benefits and growth-promoting effects of feed additives on broilers. Therefore, naturally available feed additives are promising antibiotic alternatives for broilers.
BETAINE CAN NOT REPLACE METHIONINE Nutritionists constantly seek opportunities to reduce diet costs while maintaining optimal animal performance. When ingredient prices rise, nutritionists search for ways to reduce their use or replace them with alternative ingredients. With respect to methionine...

Numerous liver diseases originate from prior alterations in the intestinal barrier and the gut microbiota. The gut-liver axis has an anatomical and immunological connection that makes the liver the first organ exposed to everything that crosses the intestinal barrier. The intestinal mucosa constitutes the body's most important biological barrier. In addition to absorbing nutrients, it acts as a defense structure capable of preventing the passage of microorganisms, endotoxins,...

I. INTRODUCTION The prices of pullets in Germany have risen significantly compared to previous years, largely due to the ban on killing male chicks and the associated more cost-intensive alternatives of rearing male chicks or sexing the egg. High feed prices, as well as significantly higher labour and energy costs, are factored into this. Other European Union countries will probably follow the same approach in the near future. Therefore, it is increasingly in the interest of laying...

Introduction Poultry scientists have long discussed and debated how the energy values of feed ingredients should be expressed (Zuidhof 2019). Pesti (2024) suggested that it is time for a paradigm shift in the way feed ingredient nutrient contents are described, and labeled the new categories collectively the Armidale method (see Fig. 1 for examples). He also proposed expanding the net energy (NE) to NEATP, based on the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) system of...

1. Introduction Several agricultural and agro-industrial by-products are produced during the production or processing of fruits and vegetable crops, which may cause environmental pollution. These by-products were of great interest during the COVID-19 crisis due to lockdown, close of dry borders and ports and traffic restrictions [1,2]. The use of alternative feedstuffs and locally available feed ingredients would improve a possible solution. Date by-products are the best-known...

1. Introduction Nowadays, alternative protein sources are essential due to the future perspectives of increasing the world’s human population [1] and limited grain supplies after the COVID-19 crisis and the Russia–Ukraine war. Insects are valuable protein supplies for animal nutrition [2–4] because of their high nutritive value and the limited natural resources (water, land, and feed) required for insect growth [5–7]. The primary and most expensive...

Nutritional factors of gut inflammation (D. Korver) The intestinal tract is one of the largest, if not the largest, surface areas exposed to the environment of humans and poultry (Ferrer et al., 2003; Helander and Fandriks, 2014). Although the digestive tract is contained within the body, the lumen is actually outside of the bird. Therefore, although the function of the intestinal tract is usually thought of as being the uptake of nutrients, it has another important function:...

I. INTRODUCTION Acid binding capacity (ABC) of an ingredient, through its effect on gastric pH, plays an important role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in poultry. The ABC is defined as the resistance of a feed ingredient to the pH reduction by gastric acid. Limestone, the major Ca source in poultry diets, has a high ABC (Lawlor et al., 2005), which can increase the digesta pH and, influence the solubility and digestibility of nutrients, including minerals. The average...

1. Introduction Soybeans originated in East Asia and were domesticated from wild soybeans (Glycine soja) between 1700 and 1100 B.C. and are now grown worldwide [1]. However, soybean production and utilization were limited within or near its center of Origin (the Orient) for centuries. The first recorded use of soybeans in the U.S. was in 1765 in Savannah, GA. It is thought that Samuel Bowen, a former seaman of the East India Company, brought soybeans to the U.S. from China via...
