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.
Although the first mentions to “choline” date from XIX century (In 1850, Theodore Gobley already described a substance “lecithin”, and then, in 1862, Adolph Strecker heated lecithin from bile, which generated a new nitrogenous chemical termed “choline”), choline’s role nutrition was not well known until 1930s. Since then, several researches have established it as an essential nutrient, which main functions could be summarized...

With the temperatures rising in most regions, concern for heat stress events in Poultry barns is also on the rise. Heat stress can have a negative impact on several aspects of a chicken’s well-being; one consequence that can significantly impact poultry production and profitability is feed efficiency. With chickens starting to feel the physical impact of heat stress as early as April and May in some regions, solutions are needed to assist their physiological defenses. Nutritional...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM The world population is growing over the years, and it is expected to increase by 2 billion people in 2050. As a result, the increased demand for animal protein will have to be met by a congruent production in accordance to sustainable and environmental concerns. This suggests that alternative feed ingredients should be introduced in the animal production chain (Henchion et al., 2017). Insects meal is one of the promising strategies proposed...

Physiological aspects of the properly functioning digestive system and the organs directly related to it are at the heart of profitability in commercial poultry production. One of the most important organs in the body of every bird is the liver, and the complexity of functions it fulfills proves its unique significance. This organ may be particularly vulnerable to damaging factors, which in turn can contribute to the reduction of production capacity of the flock and, in extreme cases,...

Dr. Andreas Lemme, Director of Technical Consultancy, answers the question: what hinders or limits protein reduction today? “Firstly, one needs to have good knowledge about the composition and quality of feed ingredients. Technologies are available to quickly get the required information. In the context of amino acid nutrition, we have developed near-infrared spectroscopy calibrations to get the full analysis of ingredients within seconds..."...

Introduction Soybean meal (SBM) is the most important and preferred source of quality protein in animal feeds (Banaszkiewicz, 2011). Among the oil seeds, SBM contains the highest crude protein (CP) and has the best AA profile, with only 6% crude fibre (Dei, 2011). The AAs in SBM are highly digestible by poultry (Newkirk, 2010). Based on the CP content, SBM can generally be classified as high protein (47% - 50%), or low protein (44% - 46%). Popescu & Criste (2003) suggested...

I. INTRODUCTION Early life stress may have a negative impact on the performance of broiler flocks. It has been observed that a severe cold stress (12°C below the normal temperature) throughout the life cycle of broilers negatively impacts production parameters (Su et al., 2020) and immune system development (Zhao et al., 2013). The use of vitamins and other molecules with antioxidant properties have been investigated in poultry undergoing different challenge models...

I. INTRODUCTION The transition in the layer industry from conventional cages to cage-free and even further into free-range production is rewriting the nutritional requirements of the laying hen. In the last 25 years, the number of eggs a hen can produce has increased by about 2 eggs each year while the amount of feed required to produce these eggs has been reduced by 18.6% in cages (Anderson, 1991; Anderson et al., 2013, Anderson, 2019). The result has been a high value...

I. INTRODUCTION Coccidiosis is caused by Apicomplexa protozoa of the family Eimeriidae. In poultry, most species responsible for coccidiosis belong to the genus Eimeria, which infect various sites in the intestine. Coccidiosis is recognized as one of the most common and economically important diseases in broilers, with an estimated $16,7 billion in losses globally per year. The average cost of coccidiosis per chicken produced is estimated to be $0.21 (Blake et al.,...

I. INTRODUCTION Antibiotic stewardship and the judicious use of antibiotics as treatment for specific disease occurrences, rather than using sub-therapeutic doses for growth promotion, are well established concepts within the Australian poultry industry (Alfirevich, 2018). Intensive production systems however, are prone to increased stressors and large scale production does not always meet the individual needs of each bird. Optimising production performance within this...
