Corn dried distiller’s grain with solubles (cDDGS) is a feeding ingredient for monogastric animals but limited inclusion rate due to its imbalanced amino acids, high fiber content, and anti-nutritional compounds. Moreover, production of cDDGS costly energy intensive. This study investigated fungal fermentation corn stillage mixing other dry agro-industrial residues which could by-pass the energ...

from the last few years, the inclusion of microbial phytase in poultry diets has increased significantly, mainly in response to heightened concerns over phosphorus pollution of the environment and as cheaper means to make phosphorus available to birds from phytate. phytate is the major form of phosphorus, abundantly found in cereal grains, beans and oilseed meals used in poultry diet but the mo...

With an increased knowledge of the mechanism action Fusarium mycotoxins, concept that these substances are deleterious only for monogastric species is obsolete. Indeed, most mycotoxins can be converted into less toxic compounds by rumen microflora from healthy animals. However, mycotoxin absorption and its conversion to more metabolites, as well their impact on immune response subsequently anim...

Phytate is the primary storage form of phosphate in plants. Monogastric animals like poultry, pigs and fishes have very low or no phytase activities in their digestive tracts therefore, are incapable to efficiently utilize phytate phosphorus from the feed. Phytase from microbial sources are supplemented to feedstuff of these to increase the uptake of phytate phosphorus. In the present work effo...
