A total of 400 day-old quails were assigned to four treatments: control, 0 %, 0 .01 %, and 0.02 % ginger phyto-protease. Over 42 d, significant improvements in feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, dressing percentage, villus height and width, and nutrient digestibility were observed, especially at 0.02 % enzyme inclusion. This suggests that 0.02 % ginger phyto-protease optimizes quail performance.

A total of 1000 Ross-308 broilers were evenly divided into four groups. One group served as a control and was fed a basal diet, while three experimental groups were given diets with soybean replacement at 10%, 20% and 30%. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in growth performance, nutrient digestibility, hematology, serum metabolites and organoleptic characteristics. Consequently, it can be concluded that maggot meal can be included in the broiler diet up to 30%.

Based on follicle number and testosterone concentration results, light flashes scheduled as biomittent light may be an economical alternative to continuous light for managing Rhode Island Red hens without harmfully influencing their physiological response, healthy traits, behavior and welfare. So, a light flash schedule of a 20 min : 40 min light period during 20–36 weeks of age is suggested for further experiments to confirm the economic and production benefits for the farming of breeding hens.

Soybean oil (SO) is used in animal feed due to the metabolic energy that it provides. Our study on metabolic and ingestive behavior, as well as rumen parameters, revealed that its inclusion in lamb diets reduced dry matter (DM), carbohydrate, and nitrogen intake. However, rumen parameters, such as total volatile fatty acids and methane production, were unaffected. We conclude that SO can be included at up to 30 g kg-1 DM as an energy source in diets for feedlot sheep containing 60 % concentrate.

Corn grain is an important ruminant energy source due its high starch levels. It is expected that whole corn can alter the amount of starch reaching the small intestine and, thus, positively influence the litter size (LS) via hormonal stimulation, compared with steam-flaked corn. Nutritional supplementation with whole corn and steam-flaked corn enhanced the lambing rate, live weight, and body condition scores but did not change the LS.

Our study sought to investigate the impact of incorporating guava agroindustrial waste (GAW) at varying concentrations on nutrient utilization, lamb performance and economic viability. These lambs were subjected to diets containing increasing levels of GAW (0, 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30 % based on dry matter). Our findings suggest that GAW can be effectively integrated into sheep diets at levels of up to 30 % without compromising lamb performance.

This study assessed the effects of incorporating underutilized bitter vetch and sorghum grains on the performance of local goats. While growth parameters were unaffected, sorghum grains lowered carcass mesenteric fat and increased back lightness. Regarding meat quality, sorghum decreased ash, C18:2 n-6, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), while bitter vetch decreased protein but increased C18:3 n-3. Bitter vetch and sorghum grains can be incorporated into fattening diets for goat kids.

The application of antibiotics is being regulated continuously. Therefore, natural agents are being investigated that aim to strengthen the defense system of poultry. In our study, capsanthin was applied to investigate its effect on immune response under lipopolysaccharide immunization. Based on our results, capsanthin decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines at both mRNA and protein levels, which suggest the positive effects of capsanthin during inflammation in broiler chickens.

The fatty acid (FA) composition of cattle is correlated with cardiovascular diseases in humans. These FAs come from ruminal biohydrogenation; however, this process also produces FAs that can provide benefits to human health. Sex and diet can affect the FA profile of the meat. The meat FAs of cattle in feedlot systems are different due to diet differences. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of sex on the FA profile and meat quality of feedlot cattle fed a whole shelled corn diet.

This study was aimed at determining the effects of different doses of thyme essential oil (TEO) and rosemary essential oil (REO) incorporated into broiler rations on performance parameters, including body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion rate, as well as on the quality criteria of breast and drumstick meat. As a result, dietary supplementation with TEO and REO was determined to have a limited effect on performance parameters but to improve the microbial quality of meat.

We show that Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from cow milk at the stage of subclinical mastitis were resistant to antibiotics used to treat mastitis. The ability to form biofilms increases the opportunity for the spread of multidrug-resistant strains. S. aureus isolates carried resistance genes, most encoding resistance to β-lactams and tetracyclines. S. aureus in raw milk poses a potential risk of developing foodborne infections and spread of antibiotic resistance between species.

Phytogenics emerged as a substitute of in-feed antibiotics following the ban on their use at subtherapeutic levels in poultry diets. However, the effects of phytogenics have been uncertain in studies conducted so far. Combined use of phytogenics and probiotics may be effective in this regard. In a nutshell, this study shows that combined use of phytogenics and Bacillus licheniformis possess the potential to improve oxidative stability of breast meat and immune response of broiler chickens.

Stocking broilers at a high density has been a strategy to optimize the area of the cage. If the environment and rearing management are not properly managed, stocking broilers at a high density may, however, result in stressful conditions that are harmful for the production and health of broilers. To ameliorate these unfavourable effects of overcrowding stress, dietary interventions using probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, herbs, vitamins, etc. have been conducted.

Goats are produced in extensive systems with low productive yields. Therefore, intensive systems improve productivity; however, in this system, diet is the most costly parameter. The cottonseed cake has the necessary nutritional characteristics to be able to substitute traditional ingredients (such as soybean meal) and to reduce the diet cost. Thus, it is necessary to determine the best level of inclusion of cottonseed cake in feedlot goats' diets to improve meat production and quality.

The use of cull ewes has been an adopted practice to increase the profitability of the activity. The production of the ewes can be maximized with the adoption of feedlotting. However, feed is known to be the costliest factor in animal production. In this context, by-products such as cottonseed emerged as an alternative to replace the most commonly used ingredients without affecting animal productivity. Calcium lignosulfonate is a by-product that can be used to improve ruminal digestion.

Short summary
A total of 250 unsexed 1 d old broilers were allocated to five distinct treatment groups. Poppy seed meal was incorporated into the diets at varying levels: 0% (PSM0), 5% (PSM5), 10% (PSM10), 15% (PSM15), and 20% (PSM20). The findings indicated that growth performance, including weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio (FCR), was significantly improved (P < 0.05) in the PSM20 group compared to the control group.
