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.

Dear Poultry Professionals and Nutritionists, I´m a student B.V.Sc.&A.H. (9th sem.) at IAAS, Nepal. My family is running a small scale layers farm (Flock Size: 1500+1500+1500=4500) in Nawalparasi District, Nepal where we are manufacturing feed by ourselves. It has really been a challenging task for us to sustain us in this business due to huge production drop during summer months and extreme rise of cost price of Soyabean Meal (Rs. 65 per...

Summary Modern-day broilers are capable of converting dietary feed ingredients into chicken-meat at ratios approaching 2:1 and constitute a more ecologically sustainable protein source for uman onsumption than alternative sources. Similarly, as discussed, chickenmeat production emits less CO2-equivalent greenhouse gases than most alternative animal protein industries. Clearly urther improvements in feed conversion ratios of broiler chickens are...

Abstract The results of 10 experiments realized from 1980 have been used to define more precisely the requirement of Lysine. Results show that the daily requirement for Lysine is related to the bird´s productivity. If the requirement is expressed in mg per gramme of egg mass produced, the requirement appears independent of the daily egg mass that is produced. From this analysis, we conclude that...

Phytate has direct anti-nutritional effects on poultry and swine, causing reductions in performance by lowering amino acid and mineral absorption and increasing endogenous losses. PHYTIN (a deposited complex of inositol hexaphosphate with potassium, magnesium and calcium) - more recognized in animal nutrition as phytate - is the major storage form of phosphorus present in seeds. ...

Introduction: Cereal grains are the main source of dietary energy in poultry nutrition and corn is by far the most widely used in broiler formulations. Any changes in the nutritional profile of the grain, will affect the overall composition of the diets (Bartov et al., 1995). During the last decade, a considerable amount of research has been conducted in order to influence the nutritional composition of corn by genetic manipulation....

The hypothesis that an increase in luminal viscosity would result in reductions in performance parameters, digesta passage rate and frequency of reverse peristalsis was tested. Chickens were fed diets containing varying quantities of guar gum, alginic acid or corn starch to influence digesta viscosity. The two guar gum treatments yielded the highest intestinal viscosities mirrored by very high feed conversion ratios, low starch digestibility and, for birds...

SUMMARY This study was undertaken to investigate the gross response and energy utilization of broiler chicks fed on vegetable protein or conventional diets. Two hundred and fifty-two day-old Cobb-500 male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to five experimental groups and raised on a control diet (containing tallow) or diets containing fish meal (SBM50 and Can50) or diets with no animal products (SBM75; Can75) (predominantly soybean or canola meal). Birds were...

Today, by-products of ethanol production like corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are being used in livestock feeds. Largely due to economics and availability, we have seen more DDGS fed each year for the past three years. Research studies have investigated DDGS inclusion rates up to 40% of finishing diets and most have settled within a range of 5-15% inclusion rate to commercial flocks. In the early days of ethanol production, we faced much...

Introduction
Individual feed ingredients commonly used in poultry may vary widely in composition and nutrient availability because of variation in cultivars, growing conditions, processing and storage conditions (NRC, 1994). In spite of this, in recent years the major improvements in nutrition and the efficiency of production have relied on obtaining maximum nutrient utilization from feedstuffs,...
