Livestock including cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and poultry are kept under traditional farming systems producing manure, supporting crop production, insurance financing emergency cash needs, improving social status. The livestock feed resource base is mostly natural graze residues whose quality supply dependent upon unreliable rainfall patterns. Due to rising demand for cropland, overgrazing, bu...

The gut microbiome of animals varies by species, age, sex, and nutrition. content nutrients in the diet as well feed additives (synbiotics, eubiotics, phytobiotics) determine quantity quality intestinal flora. ban on use antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) has led to search for various effective alternatives that affect microbiome, animal health production results. It been shown fermented feeds, ...

Aquaculture expansion is expected to meet growing demand for sustainable animal-source foods. Yet marine-fed species already require millions of tonnes wild-caught fish feed, over 90% which are nutritious food-grade species. Allocating feed human consumption could reduce pressure on marine resources while increasing seafood production. We examine micronutrient flows (the transfer micronutrients...

Background: Much attention has been paid to poultry feed processing and the contamination In Iran in order to improve the production and reduce the waste.  No information is available on the fungal contamination and the strains found in processed (pellet) and non-processed (mash) poultry feeds. This study was designed to determine the hygienic condition and the risk of fungal contamination...

since the use of antibiotics in animal feeds has been banned, researches on alternative natural products that modulate ruminal fermentation have been intensified. natural compounds such as plant extracts have been considered to be replaced antibiotics as safe and sustainable alternatives. plant extracts especially essential oils and saponins have strong antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antiprotozo...

Since 1990 we have undertaken a large number of experiments and conducted research on the development and use of cassava roots and leaves as animal feed resources, in order to explore the possibility of substituting cassava-based feeds for those of grain, thus saving grain for human consumption that was previously used for feeding animals. We have conducted chemical analyses to determine the nu...
