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 Under current production systems, turkeys have traditionally been protected from pathogenic microorganisms by vaccination and antibiotics. For decades, subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics have commonly been used within the poultry industry to improve production performance and reduce pathogenic microbial challenges. However, negative consumer perception and increased regulatory guidance prohibiting the use of growth promoters or antibiotics within the animal...

1. Introduction The period after broilers hatch is critical for development and adaptation of the small intestine to nutritional changes [1–5]. Additionally, during the post-hatch period the broilers immune system is naïve and skeletal muscle has the greatest metabolic demand of any system. Post-hatch nutrition has the potential to program life-long immune and muscle metabolism. Restriction of energy and amino acid density during the first 14 days hinders...

1. Introduction Whey is the valuable by-product of the cheesemaking process resulting after the production of cheese, whey cheese or casein from milk. It represents 90% of the volume and 50% of the solids of milk and it is characterized by its high concentrations of water, lactose and sodium [1,2]. Whey disposal is problematic, due to its high organic matter content and resultant high biological oxygen demand. Large scale commercial cheese plants usually process whey to...

There is increasing pressure for the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry diets to be discontinued or reduced. In this context, the search for natural additives such as organic acids (OA) and essential oils (EO) has increased. Previous studies have reported beneficial effects on gut health of supplementing poultry diets with these natural feed additives. As in many countries the use of AGP is still allowed and the adoption of programs combining the effects of AGPs with feed...

by Sam Shafer Are rice paddies and duck operations a match made in heaven? In a recent Poultry Science ® study, researchers with Yangzhou University investigated the effects of integrating ducks into a rice farming system on duck carcass traits, meat quality, amino acid, and fatty acid composition. The team found that a rice-duck (RD) farming system improved the carcass traits, intramuscular fat, essential amino acids, and polyunsaturated fatty...

This study was done to investigate the viability of using organic acids as alternative replacement to antibiotics as in feed growth promoters and for use in managing broiler chickens in poultry farms around Nairobi in Kenya. The first part of this study was a survey and second part consisted of two feeding  trials. The survey was conducted in the environs of Nairobi to determine the extent of antibiotic usage as a therapeutic agent and as a growth promoter....
