Comparing vitamin E sources for poultry rations

Analysis of different vitamin e sources for poultry rations showed clear differences in the transfer rate to body tissues. By comparing three different sources, baker and his colleagues pelletier, pfeiffer and troescher oncluded that currently used silica-based standard formulation provides the best performance for poultry.

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.

Plant meal improves eggshell quality

Heat stress and age are common causes of reduced egg shell quality and incur large economic losses in the Indian poultry industry. A number of plants are known to contain high levels of metabolically active vitamin D3. Studies have shown that under adverse conditions, these can be useful in reducing the egg shell quality problems associated with age.

There is still a place for inorganic phosphates

When environmental pollution becomes a restricting factor in livestock nutrition, there is a danger of over-compensating. In poultry production, this could have damaging effects on welfare. There is thus a need to re-assess phosphorus requirements in practice.

Plant antibacterials suit modern production

Since the European ban of most traditional antimicrobials and growth promoters in animal feed, many alternatives have been discovered, tested and commercialised. Safe, innovative and powerful plant extracts can fit perfectly into today's animal husbandry and will play important roles in the sustainable husbandry practices of the future.
