We asked the three speakers involved in our webinar on piglet productivity last month to respond to questions from listeners that were not answered during our live broadcast.
US agribusiness group, Cargill, and Iowa based feed additive supplier, Diamond V, have formed what they call a ‘strategic alliance’ to capitalize on the dynamism in the Russian livestock sector.
Diamond V presented presented the results of recent poultry experiments using its feed additive, XPC, at IPPE last month, and it purports the supplement may make salmonella less damaging to the host animal.
Eastman Chemical Company is sharing experiences gained on organic acids in antibiotic free production with US swine producers at the upcoming International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE).
A new review of the use of essential oils (EOs) in poultry diets concludes that certain blends may help to reduce incidences of subclinical necrotic enteritis (NE) and coccidiosis.
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.
Pelleted, easily digestible feed, deeper understanding of supplement combinations and later weaning may be among the keys for better nutritional intake and growth in young pigs, researchers say.
Researchers at Diamond V are seeking to understand in greater detail how and why supplements that boost young animal nutritional intake, weight gain and gut function work.
Supplemental bromelain may bolster reproductive health, the immune system and growth performance for sows and piglets, say researchers from Dankook University.
Developing yeast and enzyme combinations that can improve the bioavailability of poor fiber sources and identifying micro-organisms that can detoxify mycotoxins are two of the research areas in focus at Phileo Lesaffre Animal Care’s new nutrition and...
The team behind an industry and academia collaborative project claims they have pinpointed seven potential biomarkers for gut barrier failure in broilers – an outcome that could support the hunt for effective antibiotic alternatives in poultry production.
A new study indicates that either inulin and ginger supplementation of the feed of grower pigs could be effective in establishing a favorable gut microbial composition.
Understanding the structure of the gut and how it may affect and be affected by factors like diet, digestion and the pig’s immune system, is one of the current research objectives of swine expert, John Patience.
There is now much more awareness globally about what eubiotics can do in pig production, what they can’t do and how to ensure their greater effectiveness in terms of production and cost, said a DSM specialist.
The Latvia University of Agriculture has filed a patent on a feed additive for layers containing a prebiotic and probiotic that is said to improve laying performance and egg quality.
Cargill said volume gains in sales of animal nutrition products such as gut health additives and mycotoxin binders helped raise its third quarter profit by 33%.
How to optimize fish health while controlling disease and managing waste are some of the fish farm challenges being explored at Biomin’s new aqua research hub opens in Vietnam.
Cargill says it plans to triple its feed additive output by 2020 with the progressive global shift away from antibiotic growth promoters set to fuel such development.
A new monogastric science research center in Scotland is evaluating the benefits of faba beans and the nutritional value of rapeseed varieties in terms of their benefits for pig and poultry health and in the context of finding home-grown alternatives...
Exclusive interview: we talk to R&D director at Cargill Animal Nutrition
“We are investing a huge amount of our research dollars into antibiotic alternatives,” said Cargill, as it enters into final stage testing on new animal feed compounds.
