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.

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...

Introduction Shear tree, a member of the family Sapotaceae, is native to Africa. The tree is found in semi arid areas north of the humid forest zone and it can attain a height of 15 to22m and the trunk diameter varies from 0.5 – 1m (Fernande et al, 2014), Bark conspicuously thick, corky, horizontally and longitudinally deeply fissured; protects older trees against bush fires. It has an extensive root system which is essential for its survival in the 5-7-month dry seasons...

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...

INTRODUCTION Several by-products are obtained during the processing of soy oil (SO) for human consumption, as well as through its transesterification required for biodiesel production. By-products from these processes are generally cheap and are sometimes used in poultry feeds and include lecithin (LEC), acidulated soy soapstock (ASS), and glycerol (GLY). Lecithin is removed by centrifuging crude soy oil, representing around 1.5 to 3.1 % of the original source (Overland et...

Following the ban on antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in Europe, various solutions have come on to the market, with more or less documentation. The objective of such solutions must be to ensure a level of efficacy at least equivalent to that obtained with the products they are designed to replace, while preserving the animals physiology in an environmentally-friendly manner. One of these solutions, based on plant extracts, essential oils and spices, has been developed for poultry...
