Nutraceutical to ensure Animal Welfare and Stress Control
Published:October 7, 2020
Summary
The greater intensification of animal production cannot neglect the welfare and the correct conditions of animal housing and management. The European Union (EU) has established a wide range of legislative provisions that guarantee this condition and more and more countries share this concern. In the short term, legislative guidelines may seem like an unnecessary cost, but considering that a st...
Jose Ignacio Alonso Rojas, the product in question seems to contain various substances with diverse active ingredients that act interactively, attenuating the negative effects of different extruding agents on the animals' performance. In the specific case of broilers, it would have some information about the effect of this product on the production of corticosterone, which, due to the increase due to high temperature stress, constitutes one of the main factors responsible for the reduction in the performance of the birds.
In summary this product seem to be more appropriate in controlling social vices in Animals
Do you have some experimental trials or field trials to share on this product?
I See need to evaluate this product in multi stressors environment like the humid tropical climate like in South Sahara Africa
LIFA can take up such responsibilities in this region,abd for more about LIFA please follow our activities on https://blog.lifango.org or contact us on lifango48@gmail.com
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining the health of pullets, quality egg production by laying hens and body growth of broilers. Nutraceuticals are the nutrients or constituents of animal diet that have nutritional and pharmaceutical importance by preventing various diseases, possessing immunomodulatory potential, providing health benefits and consequently increasing productivity. Nutraceuticals have been in focus in poultry science quite recently due to the nutritional and healthier properties of feed ingredients.
The involvement of nutraceuticals in improving intestinal morphology and nutrient absorption may also encourage the nutritionists to include these compounds in the diet to promote the growth performance of birds.
The Importance of Early Chick Nutrition:- 1. After hatch, chicks have an anatomically complete but physiologically weak GIT resulting in inefficient feed utilization and an unstable microflora. 2. The post-hatch period is critical in bird life because the digestive system is activating itself which hampers the digestion & absorption of nutrients. 3. Early chick feeding with highly digestible proteins/peptides is known to have a positive correlation in achieving higher body weight in the initial weeks, leading to a carryover effect at the time of slaughter.
Importance of Bioactive Peptides for Optimal Amino Utilization :- 1. Bioactive Protein Peptide System (BPPS Forte) comprises of polypeptides produced by fermentation technology involving selective hydrolysis of proteins at specific locations with the help of microbial enzymes. 2. Bioactive peptides possess higher bioavailability leading to rapid absorption in the bird's system thereby bringing wide range of physiological functions. 3. The bioactive peptides are fragments of amino acid sequence in a protein that confer biological functions beyond their nutritional value & its inclusion in early phase of bird life elicit performance significantly.
