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.
Conclusions The dietary inclusion of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 (Ecobiol®), antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) and their combination significantly: Improved feed conversion in broilers compared to the challenged group without feed additives. Reduced footpad lesion and C. perfringens in ileum while providing better uniformity, fecal dropping score, carcass and breast meat yields compared to the challenge...

Context Nutritional strategies that support the immune system, promote intestinal integrity and functionality, and increase tolerance to stress and disease challenges are of interest to the poultry industry. In addition, early nutrition has been recognized as an opportunity to further advance nutritional practices and improve overall performance and the health status of commercial broiler flocks. For nearly four decades, ample information has been published on the use of...

Stresses in poultry production Commercial poultry production is associated with various stresses leading to decrease of productive and reproductive performance of growing chickens, parent birds as well as commercial layers. In general, there are four major types of stress in poultry industry: technological, environmental, nutritional and internal stresses (Surai and Fisinin, 2016a; 2016b; Table 1).In fact, a list of...

Over the past decades, genetic improvements have stimulated broiler production resulting in birds weighing ± 3kg in 42 d. To reach this genetic potential, the absorption and digestion of nutrients and according morphological and functional development of the small intestine in the early life must be impeccable. Before hatch, uptake of nutrients by the chicken embryo is limited but rapid increase in villus length and formation of intestinal crypts, have been reported close to hatch and...

Introduction Local chickens constitute a majority of the estimated 170 million poultry birds found in Nigeria and contribute substantially to annual egg and meat production (> 90%) for family consumption and for sale (FAOSTAT 2012; Khobondo et al 2015). In most developing countries these birds are mainly managed extensively in resource-limited/poor or rural households and thereby contribute substantially to their food security. However, such local...

INTRODUCTION Awareness about the importance of maternal diet on offspring health is increasing. Maternal nutrition is being studied in livestock species as a way of improving offspring growth and production (Rehfeldt et al., 2011; Long et al., 2012; van Emous et al., 2015b). The poultry industry is constantly working to increase carcass yield and obtain a fast growing broiler, and manipulation of maternal diet can be one way of increasing broiler performance (Calini and Sirri,...
