Young scientists working in the field of feed probiotics, with a focus on subjects such as nutrition, microbiology or immunity, are the target of the latest Jules Tournut Probiotics Prize.
A researcher at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) has started a long-term project to improve the yield and characteristics of alfalfa to make it a more attractive animal feed.
Antibiotics will continue to be used therapeutically and prudently in animal production, but new alternatives and options are needed, says a US based enzyme producer.
Despite lower nutrient digestibility and energy value, low quality (LQ) or high quality (HQ) barley can fully replace wheat grain in diets for starter pigs, said Canadian researchers.
International researchers are looking to refine a multiphase-individual precision pig feeding system to make it more efficient for use with breeding-finishing pigs, sows and broilers.
Protease supplementation may improve the growth performance and gut development of weaned piglets, particularly those on fishmeal replacement diets, say Chinese researchers.
As precision farming technology has improved, there has been greater take up in the US dairy sector but the numbers investing in such tools still remain fairly low, says an animal science expert.
Supplemental vitamin D may mitigate the negative effects of coccidial infection in turkeys by boosting weight gain, say researchers from the Ohio Agriculture Research and Development Center.
Syngenta and DSM say they have teamed up to develop new microbial-based agricultural products including bio-controls, bio-pesticides and bio-stimulants.
The use of blended essential oils and enzymes may boost gut health and protect against some infections in piglets, says an international team of researchers.
Updated nutrient profiles and feed usage options are among the revamped sections of a new canola meal guide, say members of the Canola Council of Canada.
Researchers at Kansas State University say pelleting deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated feedstuffs with sodium metabisulfite (SMB) can neutralize the toxin’s effects.
Researchers with Zhejiang University say that pelletized broccoli byproducts may be used to replace other feed ingredients and address environmental waste.
The Marine Algae industrialization Consortium (MAGIC), comprising researchers from both US universities and industry, has been evaluating the possibility of the large scale production of fuel and feed from microalgae.
A process to fractionate protein from grass to leverage such feedstock for pigs and poultry is one of the goals of the five year EU funded Feed-a-Gene project.
