Fermented fish feed in All About Feed 5
Feeding fermented ingredients improves growth performance due to improvements in amino acids composition and protein content.

The latest edition of All About Feed is now available online. We examine the role of vitamin A in poultry diets, evaluate the influence of 7 different substrates on the performance and conversion efficiency of BSF larvae, and explore the how fermentation could benefit aquaculture production and improve the sustainability of the industry. This and more in this latest edition.

Towards establishing the ideal substrate for BSF larvae

Researchers evaluated the influence of 7 different substrates on the performance and conversion efficiency of BSF larvae. Their findings suggest that the source and composition of substrates are correlated to the nutritional composition and conversion efficiency of BSF larvae.

Part 2: Natural mitigation of mycotoxins – are insects a true game-changer?

Insects – tiny creatures that hold huge potential for the feed industry. In this article we look at how we make their production more valuable in the livestock feed industry, specifically when it comes to mitigating mycotoxins.

Interview: “We need a data-driven approach to enhance sustainability”

All About Feed spoke with Ivo Lansbergen, president of animal nutrition & health at dsm-firmenich, about how data and precision farming solutions can support the industry to produce more efficiently and sustainably.

The role of vitamin A in poultry nutrition

Vitamin A is an essential addition in poultry diets. What is the impact of various dietary levels of vitamin A on immune function, antioxidant capacity, reproductive performance, feed intake and the growth performance of poultry? We find out.

Enhancing broiler gut health with compound probiotics

Researchers the effects of compound probiotics on broiler gut health and growth performance. The studied the effect on intestinal barrier function, intestinal immune function, beneficial gut bacteria and growth performance.

Stevia shown to improve the productivity and gut health of laying hens

In a study, researchers looked at the effect of stevia residue on the performance and gut functions of laying hens. Stevia is a perennial shrub native to tropical regions of South America and contains chlorogenic acid, phenolic compounds and flavonoids which exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Four factors regulating feed efficiency in pigs

Energy is a critical dietary component and here, feed efficiency is key. In this article we explore 4 factors that regulate feed efficiency in pigs, including the diet and its components, amino acids, feed processing and health.

The impact of amino acid supplementation on piglet diarrhoea

Amino acid supplementation can prevent or reduce the incidence of post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets. Here we investigate the most commonly used amino acids in pig diets, including lysine, threonine and sulphur-containing amino acids, and their impact on piglet diarrhoea.

Fermentation of aquafeed improves the sustainability of aquaculture

Could fermentation – a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly processing technique – be beneficial to aquaculture production and improve the sustainability of the industry? In this article we take a look.
