Opportunities, Constraints and Future Implication of Biotechnology in Animlal Feed Improvement
The major cause of poor livestock productivity in tropical regions of the world is inadequate nutrition. The shortage of feed in most developing countries and the increasing cost of feed constituents entail that there is a call for to improvement feed utilization strategies in developing countries. Animal feeds and feeding practices can be enhanced by biotechnology to develop better animal nutr...
متن کاملEffect of Dietary and Animal Factors on Milk Fatty Acids Composition of Grazing Dairy Cows: A Review
In pasture-based milk production systems, using available farm resources in order to reduce feeding costs, the composition and functional properties of dairy cows’ milk are of considerable importance to the dairy farmer, manufacturer and consumer. Basically, there are three options for altering the composition and/or functional properties of milk: 1) cow nutrition and grazing management, 2) cow...
متن کاملCitrus Co-Products in Ruminants Feeds: A Review
The generation of co-products continues at an accelerating pace, driven by population growth. Many of these co-products can be included in ruminant feed, which has the ability to transform them into good quality animal protein, and also help to reduce the disposal of undesirable residues to the environment. One of the co-products with potential use in animal feed, the citrus pulp, represents re...
متن کاملBioinformatics Analysis of Upstream Region and Protein Structure of Fungal Phytase Gene
Phytase increases the bioavailability of phytate phosphorus in seed-based animal feeds and reduces the phosphorus pollution of animal waste. Since most animal feeds for pellets are heated up to 65-80 °C, the production of a thermostable structure for phytase can be useful. In this study, we sought to perform bioinformatics analysis of the upstream region and protein structure of fungal phytase ...
