New research indicates a probiotic strain in feed for triploid salmons could be a potential alternative to high dietary phosphorus in reducing skeletal deformity during the development of the fish.
Bacteria-derived phytases can be used to improve feed intake, weight gain in broilers and replace some levels of inorganic phosphorus, say researchers.
Piglets getting supplemental immunoglobulin (IgY) protected by hydrogels and carbon nanotubes saw improved gut health and reactions when facing a disease challenge, said a group of researchers from Argentina.
Two UN bodies have initiated a global call to solicit data in order to help them provide scientific advice to guide the development of appropriate Codex standards or guidelines on pathogenic E.coli.
Resistance to widely used antimicrobials, such as ciprofloxacin, was commonly detected in bacteria in poultry, finds a new EU report on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic bacteria.
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.
Supplementing the diet of piglets with laminarin from seaweed may improve gut health and growth performance post-weaning, according to a series of studies from Ireland.
