Download or read book Formula for the future nutrition or pathology written by J.A. Taylor-Pickard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal production is constantly changing. Over recent years, feed costs have increased significantly. Furthermore, today more emphasis is being placed on the health and welfare of production animals and birds, and in particular to the risk of zoonoses and potential food scares. The pig and poultry industries must now address not only the costs and efficiency of production, but also the impact of health and disease to both animals and the consumer. This edited collection of papers is taken from a series of seminars that brought together some of the world's leading authorities in the field of pig and poultry nutrition, health and production. The fundamental theme is to address the issues of nutrition and health, and in particular to cover the interactions and potential conflicts between the two. The importance of digestive function and the influence of nutrition on health and disease are covered in-depth. Strategies to combat salmonella and mycotoxins are also discussed. 'Formula for the future: nutrition or pathology' is aimed at nutritionists, veterinarians and animal producers as well as students and researchers studying animal and applied biological sciences.

Download or read book Poultry and Pig Nutrition written by Wouter H. Hendriks and published by Brill Wageningen Academic. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disturbances in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract caused by internal and external influences can cause large economic losses in both the pig and poultry industries. Traditionally, diseases and conditions of the GI tract that can cause losses have been controlled by antimicrobial compounds administered in the feed and (or) water, such as antibiotics, coccidiostats, zootechnical feed additives and trace elements such as zinc and copper. However, legislation and rulings in various parts of the world coupled with a growing sentiment to reduce the use of these compounds in the intensive livestock industries have caused a reassessment of measures to influence GI tract structure and function ('gut health'), and have caused unparalleled interest in alternative strategies (genetic, dietary, management, environmental) to effectively manage the GI tract under conditions of external and internal challenge. Despite the wide array of products and strategies available to the pig and poultry industries that influence 'gut health', a term in itself that is often misunderstood and misinterpreted, it is important that the industries continue to investigate and understand the underpinning sciences that influence GI tract structure and function, especially at critical life stages. Ultimately, the cost-benefit of adopting such practices to influence 'gut health' requires consideration.

Download or read book Specific Nutrients for Posthatch Poultry and Postweaning Pigs written by Ganfeng Yi and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of six experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing specific nutrients including menhaden fish meal (MFM), spray-dried plasma (SDP), glutamine (GLN), glutamate (GLU), monosodium glutamate (MSG), nucleotides (NUC), and a hatchling supplement (Oasis) in the diets of posthatch poultry and postweaning pigs on the growth performance, small intestinal morphology and immune responses. In the first experiment (Chapter II), during the first week, feeding 3% SDP improved growth performance of posthatch broilers. However, at d 3, 7 and 14 posthatch, no effects on villus height (VH) and villus height:crypt depth (VCR) ratio of broilers were observed by feeding GLN, MFM and SDP supplemented diets. In the second experiment (Chapter III), from d 0 to 7 after hatch, feeding 3 to 12% MFM resulted in linear increase in weight gain and feed efficiency of turkey poults. Feeding 1% GLN improved feed efficiency of turkey poults from d 0 to 21 posthatch. The third experiment (Chapter IV) indicated feeding the 1% GLN for 48 hours was more effective than 1% MSG, 0.8% NUC, or 1% GLU in restoring the disrupted intestinal morphology of 48 hours fasted broiler chicks. In the fourth experiment (Chapter V), from d 0 to 7 postweaning, feeding the 3.5% SDP and the GLU + NUC mixture diets improved the daily gain of pigs, and feeding the 3.5% SDP, GLU + NUC mixture and NUC diets increased the VH of jejunum of weaned pigs. In the fifth experiment (Chapter VI), the results indicated that feeding 7% SDP or 2% GLN was effective in alleviating growth depression caused by an E. coli K88 + challenge. Feeding either SDP or GLN mitigated villus atrophy and intestinal morphology disruption after E. coli challenge, indicating the beneficial effects of SDP and GLN in preventing pathogenic invasion and maintaining normal intestinal integrity and function. Feeding SDP or GLN may have different modulatory mechanism on the GH/IGF-1 uncoupling under an E. coli challenged situation. The sixth experiment (Chapter VII) indicated that broiler chicks having access to feed or Oasis immediately after hatch was beneficial for growth performance and resistance to subsequent E. maxima coccidiosis challenge. Glutamine supplementation was beneficial for the growth performance and livability of birds posthatch. Fasting for 48 h immediately after hatch impaired the gut development, immune system maturation and growth performance of broilers. Vaccination with E. maxima was proven to be effective to alleviate growth performance depression and intestinal infection associated with E. maxima challenge. In summary, these specific nutrients had different beneficial roles in the growth performance, intestinal morphology and immune responses of posthatch poultry and weaned pigs. Especially, glutamine was effective in maintaining the intestinal integrity and function of broilers and pigs under fasting and immune challenged (Escherichia coli K88 + or E. maxima) situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on gut health in animals, his accessible study provides an overview of the potential benefits of phytogenic substances and plant-based feed additives to animal nutrition. This up-to-date and well-researched exploration focuses on the latest scientific knowledge regarding these additives and their potential use as flavoring agents and growth promoters in different animals worldwide, from pigs and poultry to ruminant mammals and aquatic species. It also highlights results from in vitro experiments as well as in vivo trials and shows how these tests have practical implication of phytogenic feeding concepts. Recognizing that the mechanisms in these additives are versatile and still need additional elucidation and scientific proof, this examination intends to help scientists and the feed industry further develop the group of feed additives.

Download or read book Nutritional Approaches to Arresting the Decline in Fertility of Pigs and Poultry written by Julie A. Taylor-Pickard and published by Brill Wageningen Academic. This book was released on 2006 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Continued genetic development of pigs and poultry has been the foundation of profitable production within a competitive market. However, the challenges of these production increases have undoubtedly taken their toll on reproductive function in all breeding livestock, with the incidence of infertility increasing at an alarming rate. For example, it has recently been estimated that over 40% of sows are culled due to fertility problems, compared to just 12% with feet and leg issues. This edited collection of papers is taken from a series of seminars, devoted to bringing together some of the world's leading authorities in the field of pig and poultry reproduction. The fundamental aim being to re-examine the current trends in productivity in the pig and poultry industries, and to identify nutritional means to improve fertility. It considers the effects of essential nutrients in optimising productivity, and discusses innovative applications of nutrition that will help to enhance fertility. The success of such innovations within entrepreneurial integrated systems is also covered, together with the importance of producing a quality chick and piglet at birth/hatching. Finally, the role of management and the need for least cost production is discussed. Nutritional Approaches to Arresting the decline in Fertility of Pigs and Poultry is aimed at nutritionists and animal producers as well as students and researchers studying animal and applied biological sciences."
