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 Feed cost accounts for more than 65% of variable cost of producing poultry products, and energy and amino acids account for more than 90% of this cost (Kiarie et al., 2013). In the recent past, the global feed industry has seen soaring and volatile prices of traditional feedstuffs commonly used in livestock and poultry diets due to competition with the food and ethanol industries (Woyengo et al., 2014). Moreover, in the context of anticipated human population...

Introduction The Layers are the most productive egg producers in the entire world. The innovative techniques had not been examined to improve energetic potential of hens. In Recent scenario, a hen may be produced annually 280 to 320 eggs (Soomro et al ., 2015). Mostly Leghorn Hens preferred for commercial egg production due to low height, weight and produce the maximum egg production. Different growing techniques are practiced and organized as modern...

INTRODUCTION During the last 50 years, as a growth promoter in farm animal, the use of antibiotics has been questioned. It is clear that antibiotics benefit for growth, performance and health in animal and poultry. Most of antibacterial performance promoters have been prohibited, because feeding of antibiotics is risky which the last ones removed in January 2006 (Neu, 1992). The adjustments following the withdrawal of these products in animal production have been difficult at times and...

Introduction The ban on use of antibiotics as growth promoters in EU since 2006 endorsed the finding of alternative to antibiotics in farm animal nutrition (Attia et al., 2006; 2012; El-Deek et al., 2011). Thus, search for effective alternatives to antibiotics in intensive animal production is a very important topic, considering not only the impact in animal welfare but also in human health. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (whose number is increasing year by year) are considered...

Conclusions The dietary inclusion of Bacillus amyloliquefacien s CECT 5940 (Ecobiol®), antibiotic growth promoter (AGP), or competitor probiotics ( Bacillus subtilis A, and B) significantly improved feed conversion, reduced footpad lesion and C. perfringens in ileum while providing better carcass yield compared to the challenge group without additives. Furthermore, uniformity of the body weight was significantly better in...

Introduction The first days of life are very critical for gastrointestinal (GI) maturation and immunity development, especially for high yield breeds. However, in commercial hatchery practice the birds within this period exposures for many stressors, such as newly hatched chicks remain for up to 36 hours after hatching before they are pulled from hatching cabinet and then it followed by hatchery processes (sexing, counting, packaging). After these processing newly hatched...

During the past 50 years, the livestock and poultry industries have developed in several areas including nutrition, genetics, engineering, management, and communications to maximizing the efficiency of growth performance and meat yield. Now these industries must focus more attention on how animal agriculture affects the environment and food safety. As in many other industries, the global paradigm is shifting from an emphasis on productive efficiency to one of public security. Nothing...

Introduction Modern livestock production is faced with the challenges of producing high quality animal protein at low prices; there has also been an increase in the prices of conventional protein feedstuffs due to competition among ingredients used in the manufacture of animal feed. There is consequently a great need for alternatives that can supply in high demand for such ingredients, in particular for soya bean meal (Chisoro, 2015). Soybean meal is the most commonly used...

Introduction The demand for food of animal origin is expected to increase in developing countries because of escalation in human population, urbanization and income improvements especially in urban areas (Abdullah et al ., 2011). The poultry sub-sector is one of the major protein sources that can meet the rising demand for protein of animal origin, attributed to the high rate of reproduction and feed conversion efficiency. Moreover, the sub-sector has the potential to...

Environmental management and appropriate nutrition during the first week of broiler life are critical to ensuring optimal performance, despite the fact that the quantity of feed used in this period comprises only 3.5% of total feed intake to market. Yet because neonatal chicks are unable to produce an adult complex of digestive enzymes, digestion is less than optimum (Leeson and Summers, 2005). It is also during these same early days of life that birds face one of their most difficult...

INTRODUCTION Meals from shrubs leaves such as Gliricidia sepium, Cajanus cajan and Morus alba are alternatives to grains rich in protein and energy, to reduce the cost of feed, in raising monogastric animals (1). G. sepium and C. cajan belong to the Fabaceae or Legumes family and M. alba is Moraceae family. The three plants are cultivated in tropical regions for its high content of protein, energy and minerals (2). These plants can be used for feeding naked neck camperos...
