Changing how feed is grown and the kinds of rations used with poultry are aspects of Cooks Venture's push to move poultry production from “sustainable” to “regenerative” agriculture, says CEO.
Despite the remarkable progress made in poultry nutrition over recent decades, a researcher claims the broiler industry, by increasing the dietary nutrient densities in order to lower FCR, has progressively disregarded the original goals of pelleting.
KnipBio is turning to alternative feedstocks to generate its single-cell protein in a bid to make its aquafeed ingredient more competitive on the market, says CEO.
Novus International Inc. presented at the Zero Zinc Summit in Copenhagen in Denmark earlier this week on the efficacy of chelated trace minerals as a reliable alternative to zinc oxide (ZnO).
Fermentation of plant-derived proteins can enhance food safety, improve protein digestibility and beneficially affect the intestinal microbiota and animal health, says Jürgen Zentek, professor at the Institute of Animal Nutrition, the Free University...
Supplementing broiler diets with an enzyme blend may improve bird growth and energy use while adding rice bran could increase gizzard weight and be a cheaper feed ingredient, says researcher.
Supplementing dairy cow diets with organic selenium during a heat stress challenge may limit oxidative stress damage, boost milk yield and improve total antioxidant capacity, say researchers.
Dispatches from One: The Alltech Idea's Conference
Tracking feed intake, herd nutritional health and milk composition are a few of the areas addressed by new technologies developed for the dairy industry, but wide-spread adoption still faces some hurdles.
Supplementing farmed golden pompano diets with chromium polynicotinate may support fish survival while improving fish growth and feed efficiency, say researchers.
The decline of antibiotic use in livestock feed or production may shift the pharma industry focus away from new antibiotic product development, with ramifications for agriculture, say analysts.
