Replacing part of soybean meal (SBM) with HP AviStart in starter diets, with or without antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) throughout the production cycle, equals the weight of Clostridium perfringens infected birds and their FCR to that of uninfected chickens. Furthermore, uninfected chickens receiving HP AviStart...
5% inclusion of HP AviStart day 0-14 and 3% inclusion of meat and bone meal (MBM) day 0-56 result in equal performance. Trial results indicate that HP AviStart is the best vegetable protein alternative to MBM in broiler chicken diets. Objective To show that 5% inclusion of HP...
AIM Broiler chickens typically face high levels of oxidative stress during the last weeks of fattening. This metabolic challenge affects the free radical (oxidative) status in all organs and other body tissues up to slaughter. Obviously, this can have a substantial impact on the antioxidant...
Environmental foot print of the poultry production, a growing challenge. Over the past decades, the poultry sector’s growth and trends toward intensification and concentration have given rise to environmental concerns. A direct consequence of these structural changes is increased production of waste, which could result...
Replacing part of soybean meal (SBM) in starter diets by 5% HP AviStart results in equal performance and lower footpad lesion scores compared to 5% fish meal. With a significant improvement in footpad lesion scores, trial results indicate that HP AviStart is the vegetable protein...
Heat stress is a severe and costly problem for the poultry industry. When poultry are exposed to elevated temperatures and high humidity, they experience stress, resulting in a depression of performance efficiency. The extent of stress is determined by the body temperature. The body temperature...
Bacillus-based probiotic products containing bacterial spores seem to be particularly well-suited for use in broiler feeds. In the spore form, they are metabolically dormant and resilient to environmental stresses, including pelleting. There have been years of debate on the mode of action of probiotics in...
The Philippines is considered to be one of the fastest growing countries in south-east asia. It is ranked 13th place globally in terms of population with a growth of 1.35% yearly. With this, the country’s demand for commodities such as pork, beef, chicken, milk, etc....
ANF-clean Soy protein HP AviStart is a unique vegetable protein source that contains extremely low levels of the most harmful soy anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) for young chicks due to a cutting-edge gentle enzymatic treatment that does not damage the quality of protein....
