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.
Let’s talk about Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA). In this video, Lukas Bauer, Manager Technical Consultancy for GuanAMINO® at Evonik Animal Nutrition, highlights why GAA is so crucial for Improving animal’s performance land to optimized production costs ...

Antibiotics in feed have been effective in controlling the prevalence of necrotic enteritis in broilers. However, the occurrence and severity of C. perfringens -induced necrotic enteritis has increased over the years due to the banning of the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals. Thus, the poultry industry is in urgent need of alternative strategies to prevent necrotic enteritis in broilers. Probiotics have become the ideal alternative to antibiotic growth promoters....

The objective of this study was to evaluate if the supplementation of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) either on top or included with an energy matrix in broiler feed, improves or equalizes the productive and economic parameters in broilers, respectively. The study was carried out in an experimental farm located in the department of Santander-Colombia and lasted 34 days. A total of 1088 Ross 308 AP day-old male chickens, with an initial bodyweight of 42.5 ± 1.05 g, were allotted to four...

1. Introduction To preserve the potency of clinically important antibiotics, there has been a gradual reduction and an anticipated elimination of their use in food-producing animals including broiler chickens [1]. Consequently, farmers are faced with the challenge of maintaining productivity and preventing diseases on their farms [2]. Therefore, there is a need for alternative strategies including dietary means to promote gut health and growth performance of broiler chickens....

1. Introduction Poultry and fish are both increasing in popularity as protein sources in human diets. Fish consumption has increased by 122% between 1990 and 2018 [1] with an over 500% rise in aquaculture production globally over the same timescale. Salmon production is estimated to reach 2.7 million tonnes (MT) by 2021, compared to 0.8 MT in 2000 [2]. Similarly, poultry meat production is also increasing year on year and is predicted to have reached 137 MT in 2020 [1]. This...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of crude protein (CP) reduction with amino acid (AA) balanced diets on growth, carcass yields, litter characteristics, and ecological footprint of feeds in mixed-sex broilers. A total of 2,688 Cobb MV × 500 FF broilers were allotted to 4 treatments (14 replicates of 48 birds per pen) from 11 to 36 d of age reared in an open-sided barn. Dietary treatments included: 1) Control diet (C) with DL-Met+L-Lys+L-Thr, 2) C+L-Val 3) C+L-Val+L-Ile and...

INTRODUCTION Hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the family Cannabinaceae (Turner et al., 1979), traditionally grown for fiber and seed production. Whole hemp seed contains approximately 25% crude protein, 33 to 35% oil, and 34% carbohydrate, in addition to a broad range of vitamins and minerals (Darshan and Rudolph, 2000; Callaway, 2004; House et al., 2010). Hemp seed oil contains 75 to 80% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA),...

INTRODUCTION Campylobacter spp. is well recognized as the leading cause of bacterial foodborne diarrheal disease and poses a serious economical and health risk globally (Skanseng et al., 2010; Silva et al., 2011; Meunier et al., 2015). The most common route of campylobacteriosis infection in humans is the handling or consumption of contaminated poultry meat (Lee and Newell, 2006). Campylobacter spp. is a commensal organism found in cattle, sheep, swine, wildlife, and domestic...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a yeast extract supplemented in feed and a vitamins-aminoacids compound in the drinking water on the performance and microbiology count of broiler chickens. A 42- day experiment was carried out and replicated twice in time at Universidad ISA. In each experiment, 240 straight run day-old chicks were randomly distributed in 4 treatments of a Completely Randomized Design with a factorial arrangement. The 4 treatments were from the combination...

Introduction Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] meal (SBM) is typically the main protein feedstuff included in livestock diets (Félix et al., 2010; Oliveira et al., 2020). After being subjected to an adequate heat treatment, SBM has a high crude protein content, as well as a high digestible energy and low fiber contents (Félix et al., 2010). In general, SBM makes up 30% of broiler diets (Duarte & Junqueira, 2013). However, broiler performance is strongly...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM There are growing concerns that the continual feeding of inorganic P is leading to the development of eutrophication of surface waters. Excessive P runoff from soil causes an accumulation of P in water sources, and this can result in toxic algal blooms and fish kills [1]. The availability of P from feedstuffs of plant origin is low for poultry because a greater proportion of the total P is present in the phytate form, a form that has low availability...

1. Introduction Fatty acids, especially essential fatty acids, are gaining importance in poultry feeding systems not only for improving the health and productivity of birds, but also because of our health-conscious society that prefers properly balanced diets to minimize adverse health issues [1–3]. Among various fatty acids, omega-6 (ω-6) and omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids are proving indispensable in a properly maintained ratio for numerous biological [4,5],...

Introduction Broilers are chickens produced specifically for meat production, these includes small fryers to large roaster type chicken. Broiler production has grown dramatically in the past two decades; these improvements are largely due to numerous researches and breeding programs which further enhanced feed utilization, growth rate and low levels of activity. Current commercial hybrids with high performance require high...
