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.

1. Introduction Avian coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria spp., is one of the vulnerable enteric diseases and is endemic in vast areas of the tropical and subtropical regions [1]. It reduces growth performance affecting chicken meat production and accounts for about 30% of the total expenses on medications and other pharmacological products used to control poultry diseases [2]. Out of seven recognized species, E. acervulina, E. necatrix , and E. tenella cause...

I. INTRODUCTION Currently, the majority of feed used in the production of broilers is fed in pelleted or crumbled form. One of the major issues in the manufacture of pellets is the application of high conditioning temperatures. The need to reduce potential levels of feed-borne pathogens such as salmonella and campylobacter for feed safety and to achieve high pellet quality has led to the application of relatively high (between 80 and 90 ºC) conditioning temperatures during...

In feed formulation, Six Sigma methodology helps achieve high-quality standards by minimizing variability. Applying it to ingredients like maize and soybean meal allows us to control nutrient content precisely, ensuring consistency in feed quality. A bell curve (normal distribution) visually represents the variability in a nutrient (like crude protein, CP) and helps identify a target range that can maximize feed efficiency while minimizing risks of nutrient excess or deficiency. #...

I. INTRODUCTION Poultry feed is routinely pelleted for many reasons such as increased feed intake, feed efficiency, and feed hygiene (Abdollahi et al., 2013). However, pelleting is not without its drawbacks, particularly when using higher pelleting temperatures (Abdollahi et al., 2010). The industry has been trending towards ever higher conditioning temperatures due, at least in part, to efforts to improve feed hygiene and thus decrease reliance on in-feed antibiotics for prevention...

1️ Oxidation Meaning and Classification Definition : Oxidation in feed or within the body involves the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion. This process is often accelerated by the presence of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are highly reactive molecules formed during normal metabolic activities. Types of Oxidation : In-Feed Oxidation : Occurs in stored feed ingredients and premixes where fats, vitamins, and...

Introduction: “In poultry nutrition, emulsifiers are a type of surfactant used primarily to aid fat digestion by forming stable emulsions in the gut.” Emulsifiers and surfactants are essentially the same in terms of their function, with both terms referring to substances that reduce the surface tension between two immiscible phases, such as oil and water. While "emulsifiers"specifically focus on stabilizing emulsions (mixing two...
