A French research team evaluating precision nutrition approaches say that, for growing pigs, precision feeding strategies are a promising solution to reduce nutrient excretion by adjusting the nutrient supply to each individual pig at different points...
UK agriculture and environmental consultancy, ADAS, is carrying out an online survey to collect evidence and perspectives of relevant stakeholders across the insect supply chain on current insect production and the barriers and opportunities of scaling...
A Norwegian study has found that feeding low protein grass silage to cows enabled cost savings compared to feeding silage optimal in protein but replacing soybean meal with rapeseed meal in finishing pig diets was not profitable.
Nando’s, the South African restaurant chain, is planning to test the use of algae and insect protein in chicken feed as an alternative to soy as part of a move to reduce its carbon emissions in its UK and Ireland division over the next decade.
The use of fiber in sow diets can increase the number of pigs born alive and can decrease preweaning mortality, but the effect may be source dependent, says an expert.
The use of nucleotide supplements in broiler chickens' diets can decrease the negative effects that Clostridium perfringens bacteria has on bird intestinal health and growth, according to a new study.
An innovative project that converts carbon dioxide into a single cell protein (SCP) for use in feed is one of nine agricultural technology projects set to benefit from £24m (around US$30m) UK government funding.
Kansas State University (K-State) researchers have published a paper that finds the risk of spreading African Swine Fever (ASF) through feed can be effectively reduced by certain feed additives.
Austria headquartered animal nutrition company, Biomin, recently announced its involvement in a five-year, €6m EU-backed research consortium aimed at decreasing the use of antibiotics in pigs.
We are beginning to hear a lot about transgenerational nutrition and how such an approach can benefit progeny performance but there is much to learn and explore in this field of research.
Yeast culture supplementation improved the performance of aged laying hens, potentially through the upregulation of intestinal digestive enzyme activities and intestinal health-related gene expression, finds a study.
Polish researchers found that small amounts of full-fat mealworm derived meals added to the diet of broiler chickens can improve growth performance and change selected immune system traits.
