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.

Introduction Blackhead disease, also known as Histomoniasis, is an important poultry disease caused by Histomona meleagridis, which is a protozoa that spreads in the bird by the roundworm Heterakis gallinarum, and infects the cecum and liver. Turkeys are highly susceptible to this disease. Although mortalities in turkey flocks reach 80-100% and economic losses exceed 2 million USD/year, there are lack of approved drugs against blackhead disease. Therefore, phytogenic compounds...

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between in vivo amino acid digestibility and protease inhibitors in commercial soybean meal (CSBM). A total of 12 CSBM samples were analyzed for: (1) trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) utilizing the new official AOCS method (Ba 12a-2020). (2) chymotrypsin inhibitor activity (CIA) by the latest optimized method of Liu (2022. J. Food Sci. https://doi.org//10.1111/17503841.16141), and (3) in vivo amino acid (AA) digestibility...

Acidification of drinking water of broilers prior to processing is commonly used to reduce Salmonella entering into the plant, via crop contamination. This study evaluated an organic acid and essential oil product (OEP), when provided in the drinking water (3 ml/gallon) early and/or late in production, for reduction in S. heidelberg (SH) colonization in broilers. Eight hundred Ross x Ross day-old male chicks were assigned to 4 treatments in 32 floor pens, with 8 replicates per treatment and...

The overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in poultry production. However, there are some additives, like probiotics and prebiotics, which can be used as alternatives to reduce the need for antibiotics. In that sense, how can we determine if feed additives are helpful for birds? Simply put, maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for the overall well-being of poultry, since it leads to better growth and immunity. That means that developing models to...

Introduction Academia and industry have invested huge resources into defining both the nutrient composition of feedstuffs and nutrient requirements of meat and egg-type poultry. Both aspects are highly complex because of their dynamic nature. Nutrient availabilities depend on the genetics of each feedstuff, but also geographic region, weather, and growing conditions. These factors impact both the quantity of nutrients and the molecular structures from which those nutrients must...
