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 The serum proteins are no fixed rates in the normal case, but the birds subjected to a change in the environmental and health conditions lead to a change in the proportions of these proteins (Jain, 1989). This is because of the health stress factors (Tohijo et al., 1995), or heat or nutrition that will affect the liver cells and lymph effective to manufacture these proteins and then the study and determine the ratios of these important proteins in determining the...

ABSTRACT
Infectious diseases are one of the main factors constraining the birds sector. In Iraq, pigeons are facing various diseases such as Newcastle disease (ND). Therefore, the experiment was carried out at the animal house, college of veterinary medicine/ University of Kufa to find the effect of fish oil on the immune response and antibody production against ND in pigeons daily oral administrated fish oil. Thirty male pigeons (Zigil...

Introduction Complementary medicine is now gaining interest due to bacteria resistance to the available antibiotics and their residual effect on human being and animals. People around the world are now aware of the limitations of the synthetic drugs and chemicals in terms of higher cost, anticipated toxicity and adverse effects (Adu et al., 2009). According to Coe and Anderson (1996) most drugs in vogue that were used in the treatment of bacteria were first...

INTRODUCTION Acidulated soapstock is a fat source produced by the acidification of residues produced during the refining of vegetal oil for human consumption. Several types of soapstock have been used in broiler feeding, and are composed either of a unique source or blends of different fats. Soapstocks have high free fatty acid content. Acidulated Soybean Soapstock (ASS), for example, is composed by around 70% free fatty acids compared to less than 1% in soybean oil (Lipstein...

ABSTRACT
This experiment was carried out at the animal house, College of Veterinary Medicine / University of Kufa to find out the cholesterol concentration of blood and meat, dressing percentage with and without giblets, and relative weight of the heart, liver, and gizzard of pigeons administrated orally 1 ml/fish oil/bird daily. Thirty adult male pigeons (Zigil breed) were randomly divided into two equal treated groups as the...

Introduction Plants derivatives are a source of natural additives such as herbs and their extracts can be valuable alternatives as they play a significant role in health and nutrition. They have many fold significant activities such as stimulation of feed intake and endogenous secretions with antimicrobial, coccidiostatic or anthelmintic activities. Plants contain a wide range of...

INTRODUCTION Commercial poultry production is associated with various stresses decreasing productive and reproductive performance of birds. A growing body of evidence indicates that most of stresses in poultry production at the cellular level are associated with oxidative stress due to excess of free radical production or inadequate antioxidant protection. Recently, a concept of the cellular antioxidant defence has been...

Introduction
Antibiotics have been widely used in animal production for decades. Although some are used therapeutically to improve the health and wellbeing of animals, most were given for prophylactic purposes and to improve growth rate and FCR efficiency. However, due to the emergence of microbes resistant to antibiotics, which are used to treat human and animal infections, the European Commission banned the...

Introduction Apart from an important role of medicinal herbs, aromatic plants and spices in daily human nutrition for enhancement of taste, aroma and colour of food, these additives have also been efficiently used in animal nutrition for improvement of animal health and wellbeing. With the ban of antibiotics use in animal nutrition due to the emergence of microbe resistance, alternative growth promoters must be found...

The animal feed additives market size, worth USD 16.11 billion in 2014, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7 % over the period of 2015-2022. Rise in meat consumption of livestock such as poultry, cattle, and swine as a protein source is expected to boost the global industry trends over the coming years.
Animal feed additives such as minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, and amino acids enhance metabolism and weight gains of the livestock. Livestock production estimated at 305 million...

BASF and Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ:BCPC) received FDA approval to launch Amasil® formic acid in poultry diets in the United States.Amasil was recently introduced in the U.S. for swine, and has been successfully used in poultry diets around the world. It is considered the most potent organic acid for feed acidification.
By lowering the feed pH, Amasil creates a less favorable environment for bacteria, which reduces feed-borne pathogen populations and decreases microbial intake....

In modern poultry nutrition, traditional fibre sources are associated with some negative attributes such as energy dilution of the diet and mycotoxin contamination and are usually not included during linear formulation. However, fibre is also suggested to have a positive effect on the intestinal microflora and the intestinal health including for poultry. While some nutritionists believe that crude fibre is an integral part of the poultry diet, others argue that...
