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.

At last year’s Alltech Symposium (Harter-Dennis, 2000) we reported results of work in our laboratory conducted to determine the possible effects of a high coefficient of variation (CV) of phytase application in commercial male broilers from 0-21 days of age. It was reported that coefficients of variation in feed sampling as high as 103% did not adversely affect efficacy of Allzyme Phytase when used at recommended levels in a post-pellet spray application system. While the young...

Federal officials on Friday placed a hold on 20 million chickens raised for market in several states because their feed was mixed with pet food containing an industrial chemical.
Three government agencies - the Agriculture Department, the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency - are overseeing a risk assessment to determine whether the chickens would pose a threat to human health if eaten, USDA spokesman Keith Williams said. The assessment may be completed as...

After 50 years of routine usage, in-feed antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) have been banned from animal feeds within the EU since the end of 2005. During this period of routine use management systems for pigs and poultry have changed dramatically and there was considerable concern that the in-feed ban would result in poorer performance and increased health problems. Consequently over the past several years much research effort has been devoted to investigating alternative feed additives...

The effectiveness of phytase in increasing the availability of phosphorus from plant-derived feedstuffs has been observed for several years. In most instances the exogenous phytase used to supplement poultry diets is obtained from an Aspergillus species which usually produces 3-phytase, a rather non-specific phosphomonoesterase that catalyses the dephosphorylation of myoinositol hexakisphosphate (phytate) and produces orthophosphate, which can be absorbed by monogastric animal species....

Introduction: evolution of practical phytase use The beneficial effects of phytase on the availability of phytate phosphorus have been known since the 1960s (Nelson, 1967) with considerable research having been undertaken and reported in the intervening years. Phytases have been available for many years; but not until the environmental impact of agriculture and urban sprawl became a political issue was there pressure to develop and utilize phytase in livestock feeds. The...
