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.

Background Biofortifications of chicken with bioactive nutrients such as DHA and calcidiol [25(OH)D3] have been viewed as an effective strategy to produce health-promoting meat for human consumption [1, 2]. Relatively low to moderate inclusion levels of calcidiol (1600 to 2800 IU/kg diet) [3, 4] and DHA-rich microalgal biomass or oil (0.55 to 2.55 g DHA/kg diet) [5–7] in broiler diets caused no negative effects on growth performance, lipid profile of tissues, or...

Introduction Monogastric feeds are reliant on plant-based protein sources, like corn and soybean. However, increasing demands on these plant-based materials for non-food industries, such as biofuels, is also associated with an increase in the price of these feed ingredients, placing an impetus on the demand for these alternative protein sources (Leiber et al., 2017). Emerging areas of monogastric animal nutrition research include the use of insect meal, microalgae, single cell...

Introduction The poultry industry has experienced unprecedented growth in the past 70 years due to improved genetics, nutrition, housing, water quality and veterinary care driven by post-WWII consumer demands (Havenstein, et al., 2003). Modern-day poultry efficiently convert feed to meat and eggs, but genetic selection for improved performance may have inadvertently selected for a negative correlative response to other traits such as immune function (Cheema et al., 2003). The reader...

Broiler chickens show better growth and reduced liver problems when given brown seaweed extract or meal during times of heat stress
Chickens don’t do well in the heat. In fact, birds experiencing heat stress tend to eat less, grow slower, and even have compromised immune function. Heat stress is also a major cause of mortality for chickens and leads to considerable economic losses each year in the poultry...
