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.
DDGS can be a good alternative ingredient in diets for broilers. Its use in combination with a multi-enzymatic complex, combined with an extra dose of phytase, can help to achieve optimal performance. A few trials, conducted in Argentina, are described here. Distillers Dried Grain with Solubles (DDGS) is the result of extracting ethanol from grains through...

1. Factorially designed experiments versus response surface methodology. A conventional experimental approach investigates the effects of one independent variable while keeping all other variables constant. This approach faces two challenges (i) it is only valid when the underlying principles linking cause and effect are known with some certainty; (ii) variables...

Introduction. The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is developmentally very active in the early period posthatch in poultry species (Uni et al., 2000). The intestinal crypts that form on the day of hatch become defined in the first 48 to 96 h and continue to grow rapidly during the first 7 d (Uni et al., 2000). The intestinal villi increase significantly in diameter and length during...

I ntroduction. Between 2000 and 2010, the production of table eggs in the Dominican Republic (DR) nearly tripled, increasing from 58,000 to 150,000 tonnes (58,000,000 to 150,000,000 kg) (21) . The increase is partially due to a higher average consumption of eggs in the DR (10.3 kg per person) than the world average (8.3 kg per person). The DR also exports...

Poultry colonized with Campylobacter species are a significant source of human food-borne illness. The therapeutic use of the medium chain fatty acid caprylic acid consistently reduced enteric C. jejuni colonization in chicks by 3 to 4 logs in three separate trials. These results support caprylic acid’s potential to reduce Campylobacter carriage in poultry. Campylobacter species...

1. Introduction. Sorghum is used, either partially or entirely, as the cereal grain base in Australian pig and poultry diets but it has been associated with sub-optimal broiler growth performance (Selle et al., 2010, Liu et al., 2013). Cereal grains of different varieties and from different locations may be blended into poultry diets but varying the inclusion rate of one feed...

If we often hear that in the modern Man, olfaction, our most primal sense, has also became our worse sense, it is highly developed in most animals, and often an essential part of their survival. The sense of smell warns them of danger, help them to find food and discriminate toxic from nutritious plants for example. Olfaction is also involved in reproduction, from matting to the recognition of one's own offspring. Cattle and, to a higher degree, swine have a very sharp sense of smell, as...

Introduction. Antibiotics are generally used in the poultry industry to prevent poultry pathogens and diseases as growth promoters. However, using of antibiotic in the diet caused the development drug-resistant bacteria (Edens, 2003), drug residues in the bird's body (Pelicano et al., 2004) and imbalance of normal microflora (Barton, 2000). As a result, there is an increasing...

Olive leave extract was effective in minimizing the oxidative stress which was induced with the advance of age, specially for plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione s-transferase (GST). This experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary olive leave powder (OLP) on performance, immunological and biochemical...
