Phytogenic feed additives: Keeping pace with trends and challenges in pig pro...Milling and Grain magazine
As the global population and its prosperity are steadily on the rise, the animal protein demand will further increase in the near future. Pig meat is the most consumed meat worldwide among the others, closely followed by poultry. Last year it comprised 38 percent (or 118 Mt) of the total meat consumption whereas poultry meat accounted for 35 percent (or 110 Mt). Though this growing demand is challenged – on the one hand by consumer’s awareness for safe food and on the other hand by sustainable and efficient swine production. At the same time, production costs should be kept as low as possible whilst controlling the high risk of developing drug resistant bacteria for humans due to the use of in-feed antibiotics, as antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) or as disease treatment. Over the last decades, many feed additives have been developed and evaluated, within which phytogenic (plant derived) substances have attracted much attention.
This document discusses various feed additives used in livestock and poultry production. It defines feed additives as non-nutrient substances that can accelerate growth, improve feed efficiency, or benefit health or metabolism. The document then provides a broad classification of common feed additives including growth promoters, disease preventing agents, supplements, and auxiliary substances. Specific examples within each category are listed and described in more detail.

It defines feed additives as materials used in animal nutrition to improve feed efficiency, promote faster gains, improve health, and increase production. Major categories of feed additives are discussed, including beta-agonists, hormones, organic acids, probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, and botanicals. The document specifically focuses on additives that alter metabolism, explaining how beta-agonists, hormones, organic acids, probiotics, enzymes, and botanicals function to influence metabolism and support growth, health, and production. Consequences of stopping the use of these additives are also mentioned, such as lessening meat/livestock production and increasing costs.
Feed additives are compounds added to animal feed to improve nutrition, health, and performance. They are classified as nutritive (vitamins, minerals, amino acids) or non-nutritive (antibiotics, ionophores, chemobiotics). Important growth stimulants include enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics. Antibiotics act on bacteria to improve health while ionophores transform rumen fermentation. Probiotics have positive effects by detoxifying metabolites and improving nutrient availability. Feed additives are used to increase milk and meat production, digestion, and stabilize the rumen environment.

IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) is a double blind peer reviewed International Journal edited by the International Organization of Scientific Research (IOSR). The journal provides a common forum where all aspects of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences are presented. The journal invites original papers, review articles, technical reports and short communications containing new insight into any aspect Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences that are not published or not being considered for publication elsewhere.
Growth promoters like antibiotics, probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes are used to improve production traits in healthy animals. Antibiotics reduce pathogenic bacteria and increase nutrient absorption. Probiotics and prebiotics promote beneficial gut bacteria. Enzymes help break down nutrients. However, widespread antibiotic use has led to antibiotic resistance, so the EU now restricts their use. Other additives include organic acids, flavory materials, plant extracts, amino acids, and antioxidants to enhance feed intake, nutrient availability, and health.
Betaine is a nutrient found in foods like sugar beets that acts as an organic osmolyte and methyl donor. It is rapidly absorbed and metabolized in the liver and kidneys. Studies have shown that supplementing betaine in poultry diets can improve performance by increasing weight gain and feed efficiency, and enhancing carcass characteristics like increasing breast yield and decreasing fat percentage. Betaine provides benefits to poultry such as methionine and choline sparing effects and improved acid-base balance.
This study examined the effects of infusing 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) on calcium homeostasis in dairy cattle during the transition period. Researchers administered 5-HTP or saline infusions daily to 12 Holstein and 12 Jersey cows from 7 days pre-partum until calving. Preliminary results found that 5-HTP tended to increase serum calcium levels post-calving compared to controls. The 5-HTP treatment also significantly increased expression of the calcium-sensing receptor in mammary epithelial cells and the calcium pump PMCA2, both of which are involved in calcium transport and homeostasis. The results suggest 5-HTP may help prevent hypocalcemia in dairy cattle during the transition period by

Economic consequences of reproductive performance in dairy cattle Henk Hogeveen
This document summarizes the economic consequences of reproductive performance in dairy cattle. It finds that the optimal voluntary waiting period before starting inseminations varies depending on cow factors and economic considerations, but is generally less than 10 weeks for 90% of cows. The optimal time to stop inseminating cows is between 10-16 months postpartum based on models of declining conception probabilities over time. Accounting for factors like parity, months in milk, milk production level, and previous insemination attempts provides a more accurate assessment of when insemination value turns negative.
The document discusses estrus cycles in cattle and buffaloes, describing the phases and signs of estrus as well as factors that can cause silent or sub estrus. Silent estrus occurs when an animal does not display behavioral signs of estrus despite physiological changes, and can be caused by environmental stressors, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal issues. Methods for detecting estrus discussed include the use of teaser animals, activity monitors, and testing vaginal fluid conductivity or milk progesterone levels.

Ketosis takes place when there is insufficient glucose available, such as during low-carb diets, lack of insulin, or excessive alcohol use. Very high ketone levels can make the blood acidic and cause the dangerous ketoacidosis condition. Ketosis is treated by replacing fluids, electrolytes, and administering insulin therapy to reverse the processes that caused it.

The document summarizes research on the efficacy of the Circovac vaccine in controlling PCVD (Porcine Circovirus Disease) under field conditions in Brazil. Two trials were conducted involving 1200 piglets total across two farms. Piglets vaccinated with Circovac at weaning showed lower wasting and mortality rates compared to non-vaccinated piglets. Vaccinated piglets also exhibited increased daily weight gain and improved feed conversion. Post-mortem examination found vaccinated piglets had significantly fewer lung lesions. The research concluded that Circovac vaccination of weaned piglets can effectively control PCVD and improve productivity on farms in Brazil.

"Use of feed additives generated through fermentation
technologies for livestock feed " presentation by "Cavaba Srinivas Prasad, National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology, Bengaluru, India"
>Since the ban of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in the European Union, the industry has been looking for valid alternatives to improve health, immune status and performance in animal agriculture.
>The industry focuses on developing solutions that mimic the effects of AGPs. However, the exact mode of action of the AGPs to improve poultry performance is not fully understood.
Most AGPs alternatives try to prevent the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and to modulate indigenous bacteria to improve immune status and performance.
>As an industry, we have made limited progress in improving gut health. Maybe we need to change the approach to find the most optimal solution.
>As part of a stable ecological system, pathogens per se do not represent a threat to animal health. The dynamic nature of the gastrointestinal microflora in chickens makes maintaining the right balance in the microbial ecosystem.
>Despite a large amount of scientific work has been done on the topic, a lack of consistent improvement has been registered.
>To improve gut health more consistently, a broader approach, involving a combination of nutrition, feed technology and husbandry management needs to be taken.
>In addition, gut-health is too complex to be solved from
only one point of view. Input should be obtained from different disciplines, including food technology, human nutrition, veterinary and human medical sciences.
>DSM will start an holistic program to come to tailor made solutions to improve the gut ecosystem with the objective of reducing the use of antibiotics in the poultry industry.
To avoid diseases resulting from high pathogenic pressure in intensive broiler and turkey housing systems, antibiotic growth promoters have been used in many cases in the past. Since the EU-prohibition of these products, an increasing interest exists for alternatives to support the microbiota in the intestine and for the maintenance of animal health.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
