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.
Alain RIGGI - Global Poultry Manager/Director at, Phileo by Lesaffre, speaks about the main benefits of the program Salmo Control. The multifactorial benefits of Safmannan® in ensuring animal welfare and the safety of food on your plate, contributes to global sustainability. This is a ‘must-pay-attention’ factor for all food producers around the world right now.

Do you believe that adding a flavoring agent to your broiler or layer feed will improve performance? Your answer is probably no, or that you really hadn't thought about it. The early history of feed flavoring and taste research for poultry reads much the same way. Initially, poultry producers and some researchers felt that chickens had no real sense of taste and that flavor was of no consequence in poultry feeding. However, an examination of the literature, while not yielding a unanimous result...

Introductions: Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) encapsulated in feed grains' cell walls contain valuable nutrients that may be wasted since some animals' endogenous enzymes cannot digest them. Xylanase feed additives degrade grain cell walls, releasing entrapped nutrients to the animal. The soluble portion of NSPs increase digesta viscosity, slowing the passage of feed through the digestive system and preventing an animal's natural enzymes from acting upon...

A feeding study was conducted to examine the efficacy of a synergistic blend of feed additives on growth performance, livability, gut integrity, immunity, caecal microflora and footpad health in broilers challenged with subclinical necrotic enteritis (NE). Additives were: A) synergistic blend of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), slow-release C12, target release butyrates, organic acids (OA) and a phenolic compound; B) synergistic blend of partly buffered OA with MCFA; C) synergistic blend of...

INTRODUCTION Soybean meal´s good amino acids (AA) balance makes it an excellent protein source in poultry diets, although it does have the disadvantage of containing antinutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitors and lectins. These can negatively affect animal growth if the SBM is not adequately processed(1) using a proper cooking time and temperature to deactivate these factors(2). Excessive heat, however, can cause Maillard reactions, destroying thermolabile AA such...

I. INTRODUCTION Global chicken-meat production has been predicted to increase considerably between 2005 and 2050 (Alexandratos and Bruisma, 2012) and this demands sustainable practices. Reducing dietary crude protein (CP) substantially without compromising broiler performance has the potential to provide tangible reductions in nitrogen excretion and environmental pollution, with improved bird welfare outcomes and economic benefits (Kidd and Choct, 2017). Substantial...

INTRODUCTION According to the World Health Organization, Campylobacter is a leading cause of the diarrheal disease (World Health Organization [WHO], 2018). The genus Campylobacter is comprised of over 20 species. Strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are generally considered some of the more significant concerns among foodborne pathogens for human health (Korczak et al., 2006; Havelaar et al., 2012; World Health Organization [WHO], 2018; Centers for Disease...

1. Introduction Poultry and mycotoxins have been closely linked for several decades, as they are one of the most sensitive animal species to the toxic effects of mycotoxins. In the poultry industry, the ingestion of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) lead to the impairment of all the essential productive parameters [1,2] and decreased resistance to common infectious diseases due to the depression of the humoral and cellular immune responses [3,4], resulting in substantial annual economic...

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM In the United States, foodborne nontyphoidal salmonellosis affects approximately one million individuals, results in 378 deaths and costs approximately $3.3 billion USD annually (Scallan et al., 2011). Most of these infections are associated with animal meat and product consumption, with poultry or poultry products being the major source (Marin and Lainez, 2009). Therefore, eradication of Salmonella in the production cycle of poultry and in processing...

Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a poultry disease of global concern mainly due to reduced growth, increased mortality, and increased veterinary and management costs associated with it (Wade and Keyburn, 2015). Clostridium perfringens , a spore-forming gram-positive bacterium, is considered to be the causative agent of NE in chickens. In the past, the common remedy to ameliorate the negative effects of NE was an addition of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in feed. However, with AGP...
