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.

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,...

Alternative feed ingredients have proved valuable in supporting the performance of livestock and poultry at low cost (Babatunde and Oluyemi, 2000). Kolanut shell can be substituted for 60% of the maize in layer mash (Olubamiwa et al., 2000), for 20% of the maize in broiler diets (Hamzat and Babatunde, 2001) and for 50% of the maize in rabbit diets (Babatunde et al., 2001). This study was designed to determine the optimal replacement level of kolanut shell meal...

Rickets can occur in young birds due to insufficient Vitamin D 3 , calcium and/or phosphorus. Commercial feeds and supplements provide these nutrients, but if they are over-diluted, the birds will not get enough. Birds can synthesize their own Vitamin D, to a certain extent, with exposure to sunlight. A deficiency of any of these nutrients can also lead to problems with egg-laying birds. Egg production may be reduced...

SUMMARY A total number of 240 laying hens and 24 cocks of Silver Montazah strain at 40 weeks of age were randomly divided into 12 groups (20 hens and 2 cocks / each treatment group). Birds in all treatments were nearly similar in the average initial body weights and average daily egg production. A 4 x 3 factorial design experiment was performed including four levels of supplemented lead (0. 250,500 and 1000 mg/kg diet)...

Broiler strains have different nutritional requirements depending on their specific growth performance. Because their genetic evolution might be different, Adisseo looked into the effectiveness of carbohydrase enzymes in the different genotypes. In two different trials carried out at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, we demonstrated that Rovabio ® ,...

Intestinal health and immunity is the most critical system to manage in order to optimize performance in today´s commercial poultry. The development and maturation of the GI tract can be influenced by any number of factors involving genetics, nutritional, management, and health issues. The maintenance of a normal, functioning intestinal tract during grow-out is also vital to minimize the effects of enteric...

Belgium's Ghent University launched a new web application allowing livestock producers and veterinarians to measure levels of antibiotic usage on the farms - and how to compare this to peers, Flemish agricultural website Vilt reports. The new web application, called ABcheck, will contain a wide range of background information about antibiotic use and antibioitic resistance in animals.
