Phytase: vital in phosphorus management

When forced to do so, we have no choice but to reduce phosphorus excretion on poultry farms. Even where it is not mandatory, economics dictates that we attempt phosphorus excretion reduction. Research at Arkansas University suggests that we consider combining improved phosphate sources with phytase enzymes.

New EU accepts takes on nitrogen challenge

Removal of MBM, AGP's and a reduction in nitrogen output are just a few of the challenges facing EU accession countries. There is plenty of help available to deal with this minefield of legislation, as was evident when Ajinomoto Eurolysine took western European specialists to Poland and Hungary so they could offer their wealth of experience.

Synthetic methionine saves resources

Supplementing broiler rations with synthetic DL-methionine represents a major contribution towards alleviating environmental pollution, compared with the use of methionine-rich protein sources such as soybean meal or rapeseed meal. Chemical production requires less energy input to achieve the same performance levels and produces far less environmental emissions, resulting in long term savings on resources and reduced emissions of nitrogen and other compounds.

Paving the way in feed peptide research

How well do we understand protein nutrition? Research has led us a long way towards a full understanding of the mechanisms of digestion and absorption of proteins and amino acids, but the true value of specific intestinal transport molecules for small peptides is not as well recognised.

Back to the future

The Flockman system of supplying nutrients on a day-to-day basis now feeds 15% of all UK broilers. But David Filmer is not resting on his laurels. He aims for a fully automated, practical feeding model and is drawing from jungle fowl behaviour and pre-intensification know-how as his inspiration.

Feed the gut first- factors affecting intestinal protein turnover

Protein turnover in the gut, such as mucous and enzyme production/secretion, sloughing of mucosal cells and local immune proteins, is one of the complications of measuring total protein requirement. It can be extremely high, but is subject to dietary influence.

Can plant proteins replace fishmeal?

What is the unique property of fishmeal that makes it so useful in enhancing animal performance? Scientists in the UK have uncovered some of the secrets of this unique high performance protein. Using their research they have developed treatments for vegetable proteins to get the best feed value out of plant proteins.
