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.
If Immunity is your top priority, Immunotech Forte™ is a synergistic combination of systemic enzymes such as Serratiopeptidase, Papain, Bromelain, Bioflavonoids,vitamins and amino acids. It is a fortified immunity enhancer to boost bird’s immune system, reduce stress and gain resistance to disease incidences....

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...

How can heat stress affect the quality of poultry meat? Genetic selection towards faster growing birds and higher breast yield has made the modern broilers more vulnerable to high temperatures. It is known that nowadays the negative effects of heat stress in commercial strains are observed at lower temperatures than several decades ago....

Introduction The need for the consumption of animal protein is constantly increasing, mainly due to the demographic growth of the population. This increase in demand means that the livestock production sector must continuously make improvement actions to increase industrial yields. In addition to this situation, the trend of today’s society that demands safe meat, from farms that comply with quality and biosecurity regulations and specially apply and respect animal...

Description of Problem The demand for livestock products is increasing due to growing human population (1). Poultry products particularly broiler meat has a great potential to meet this demand due to its low feed conversion ratio (FCR) and short rearing period. Maize remains an integral component of broiler chickens feed and its inclusion in normal diets could be as high as 60% (2). The availability of maize all year round for poultry feed has reduced and this could be...
