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.

1. Introduction There is a tremendous interest in the understanding of immune response against pathogens and toxins on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the birds due to in this specialized system, as it harbors 70 to 80 percent of the avian immune cells and molecules [1]. Additionally, there is an overwhelming interest in finding new alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) because of regulations and consumer preference in many countries which these strategies are...

The history of antibiotic use in poultry feed is quite old and in a very short period of time it gained a special identity as an antibiotic growth promoter (AGP). There is no doubt, this special name came from its proven effect on the growth performance. However, Health officials desperate to maintain the efficacy of...

Glucagon-like peptide (GLP) is one of the major intestinal hormones and has two subtypes, GLP-1 and GLP-2. GLP-1 is a 36-amino acid peptide released from intestinal L cells in response to ingested nutrients [1]. In the gut, this peptide hormone performs a variety of physiological and biological roles. Some of these functions include enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release, inhibiting glucagon secretion, increasing pancreatic β cell growth [10, 27], decreasing food intake [1],...

Deoxynivalenol (DON; vomitoxin) is a trichothecene mycotoxin that is produced by Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) and is prevalently found in grains such as wheat, corn, barley and their by-products. Food and feed contaminated with DON cause a variety of adverse health effects in humans and farm animals. Poultry are also adversely affected by DON but less susceptible due to differences in DON metabolism. Because of the differences in breeds, types of diet and strains of poultry,...

Introduction Controlling production costs and animal welfare are important factors for breeders. Feed accounts for 50 to 70% of the production cost in poultry production (van Horne, 2018). The feed conversion ratio (FCR), which is the ratio of feed consumption to meat or egg production, is an important criterion for the profitability of these farms. It is also an indicator of the environmental impact of production. For example, the reduction of 10% in FCR results in a reduction...
