APIs MARKET
In August, the veterinary API market remains weak, and the prices of most mainstream varieties continue to go down. Florfenicol, doxycycline, and amoxicillin have stagnant finishing. At the same time, erythromycin thiocyanate, as an intermediate raw material of azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, and erythromycin stearate, has reached a historical high, and Tilmicosin price is going up against the trend. Is this the primary sign of rebound expected by the...

APIs MARKET
The vet APIs market underwent a profound adjustment in the Q1-Q2 of 2023, but most industry insiders are hoping for a market rebound in the second half of 2023; the main reason is they are optimistic about the recovery of consumer demand in the year. The month of July has ended, and the rebound shows no sign of arriving anytime soon; the lukewarm downstream market still hasn't improved, and the price of most of the products is running low and steady. Doxycycline failed...

CHOLINE AS A NUTRIENT: BASIC FUNCTIONS Choline is an essential nutrient in most livestock species. It plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter synthesis (acetylcholine), cell membrane signaling (phospholipids), myelin synthesis and lipid transport (lipoproteins). Choline is a precursor of phosphatidylcholine, a phospholipid that besides being part of the composition of cell membranes, is involved in the generation and composition of bile secretions; therefore,...

Conclusion To optimise oxidative status in broilers under challenging environmental circumstances, high levels of antioxidants are required to counteract the negative effects of reactive oxygen species. The addition of either 15 mg/kg vitamin E or 15 mg/kg Selko AOmix to broiler diets containing 10 mg/kg vitamin E diminished an increase in plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (a marker for oxidative status) that may occur in animals in conditions where heat challenge is expected....

I. INTRODUCTION Forecasting is fraught with difficulties associated with poor data and unknown unknowns. Fortunately, in the case of laying hens, this is not true. We have an excellent history of how our birds have improved over the past decade (Table 1), and a fair idea of what can be expected in future breeding programmes used by the primary breeding companies. Our understanding is that the requirements for energy and protein per unit of output have remained unchanged and that...

Following the success of the Research Topic “Alternatives to Antimicrobial Growth Promoters and Their Impact in Gut Microbiota, Health, and Disease: Volume II,” we received an invitation from Frontiers to work on Volume II. This second volume includes 31 scientific articles, in the text of individual chapters in this Frontiers Research Topic. The editors are grateful to all 197 authors that contributed and participated in the achievement of Volume II. Homo sapiens reached...

APIs MARKET
The vet APIs market has been going down continuously this year, with a significant decline in some leading products (see the table below) due to the decreased demand.
The market stopped falling at the end of May, and it is stable overall, with prices running at the bottom. Although there are optimistic expectations for the future market, the...

APIs MARKET
After continuous declines, the decedent of the veterinary raw materials market has slowed down, and the overall downward trend seems to have stopped, with most products running weakly and steadily. In contrast,the products with prices remaining firm are Erythromycin Thiocyanate and Amoxicillin. Considering the production costs in upstream factories, some products have been oversold. Trade channels have been watching with the money hold in hand, the market...

Oxidative stress is a biological process which is produced as a result of an imbalance between the generation of oxygen free radicals and the antioxidants that remove them, favorable to the first ones. In animals, free radicals are generated by endogenous pathways in aerobic metabolic processes, as well as exogenous vias, particularly after stress situations caused by inadequate environmental factors (such as temperature, relative humidity, poor air quality and/or presence...

Prologue Heat stress brings about major physiological changes in poultry birds, which negatively affects feed intake, feed efficiency, production, performance, reproductive efficiency, and disease outbreaks. Reduced feed intake during heat stress decreases vitamins and minerals intake, which leads to decreased serum and liver concentrations of these micro-nutrients. Moreover, mobilization and excretion of minerals and vitamins are increased under stress conditions due to...

Effects of heat stress on plasma calcium concentration, egg production and egg quality Highly productive modern poultry breeds are more prone to heat stress and rising global temperatures is one of the greatest challenge for the industry. It greatly damages a bird’s performance in terms of feed intake, feed conversion, body weight, egg production, rooster activity and hatchability (Nilipour, 1996). Stress of high environmental heat during summer also interfere with the...

The current study was conducted to determine the availability of Lutavit® A 1000 NXT (A-1000), a vitamin (Vit) A acetate product, after a 56-d incubation period. Four Vit A sources (A-1000, B, C, and D) were blended into Vit-trace mineral premix designed to put oxidation stress on the Vit A beadles. These Vit premixes along with a negative control (NC), without Vit A, were stored in two different conditions, Cold Stress (CS) at 4°C or Heat Stress (HS) at 35°C and ≥60% Relative...
