How To Protect Poultry Feed Quality With Feed Antioxidants?

 Antioxidants are added in poultry feeds to protect the feeds from oxidation and deterioration during storage. The usage of antioxidants as animal feed supplements has increased in the recent past. Nutriox has proven to be one of the most effective antioxidants for animal feeds.

Requirement Of Feed Antioxidant

Poultry feed risks spoilage due to oxidation. The process of oxidation destroys the nutrient content of the feed, mainly the fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Oxidation in feeds results in the rancidification of carotenoids, fats, amino acids, and Vitamins A, D, E & K. Oxidation creates an odor and makes the feed unpalatable for poultry. The oxidation of feeds reduces its nutritive value and if spoiled feed is consumed, it can create massive nutrient deficiency. The presence of certain trace minerals in poultry feeds may also catalyse the oxidation process. It requires feed protection specifically to ensure that the nutrients are not destroyed and thus comes the need to use feed antioxidants like Nutriox.

Process Of Feed Oxidation

Feed antioxidants play an important role in protecting nutrients. Nutriox, which is the feed antioxidant manufactured by Avitech Nutrition, contains Ethoxyquin, Propyl Gallate, and Citric Acid. Citric acid prevents oxidation catalysis through metal chelation and thus stops the first phase of oxidation. Ethoxyquin takes control in the next phase by stabilizing the free radicals. Propyl Gallate assures longer antioxidant activity by regenerating Ethoxyquin.

 Nutriox   Nutriox is a feed antioxidant that offers three-way protection from the oxidation losses in feed, within the fats, and of the vitamins. Along with a proven synergy and higher stability, Nutriox offers adequate nutrient protection, which enables feeds to retain their nutritive value. One of the most important benefits of Nutriox (animal supplement) is the metal ion chelating activity helps in preventing oxidation catalysis. The fine particle size and the free flow of Nutriox ensures uniform distribution. Nutriox is excellent in nutrient protection and increasing performance. 

Inclusion

For the protection of poultry, fish, swine feed- 75 to 225 gm/MT of feed For dairy feed- 150 - 300 gm/MT of feed For mineral premix protection- 500-2500 gm/MT of premix 

  (well suited for all sorts of mineral premix-containing vitamins.)

    Thanks for sharing information on protecting the feeds from oxidation and deterioration during storage. I would like to suggest India's major animal fat distributor Shivam Chemicals, one of the leading poultry feed supplement distributor, who distribute the highest quality feed products manufactured under stringent international quality parameters.

Butyric acid forms and their Enteric release

 A healthy gut is essential for efficient conversion of feed into constituents for optimal nutrient absorption. Gut health is a complex process combining nutrition, microbiology, immunology and physiology. When gut health is compromised, digestion and nutrient absorption are affected, which in turn has a detrimental effect on feed conversion and production. This leads to economic losses and a greater susceptibility to disease.   A characteristic feature of a healthy gut is a large surface area covered with long healthy villi having deep crypts. Deep crypts are indicative of rapid tissue turn over in order to permit regeneration of damaged villi. Longer villi and deeper crypts provide a larger surface area for the absorption of nutrients, allowing efficient enzyme production and maturation of intestinal cells.   In commercial poultry production, it is said that profit comes from a healthy chicken. Healthy chicken comes from healthy gut. Healthy intestinal villi leads to better a

Emulsifiers — Animal Feed Supplements to Enhance Productivity

  Animal feed supplement products have been added to the diet of animals, birds, and fish for optimum   h ealth and increased production. These animal feed supplements have now become an essential part of the modern farm industry for their numerous benefits including improving profitability of the farmer. In order to make efficient use of these additives, it is important to ensure that animals are able to absorb the nutrients given to them. The inclusion of an external emulsifier becomes important as it helps in better fat digestion and absorption.   Lysophospholipid  based emulsifiers have a proven role in the absorption of nutrients in the body by enhancing the permeability of the absorptive surface. The Role of Lysophospholipids In Emulsifiers Lysophospholipids are a class of phospholipids that aid in the absorption of fat and other nutrients through the cell membrane. Lysophospholipids promote fat absorption by forming micelles with monoglycerides and fatty acids. The micelles form

Role of Nutrition in improving immunity

The environmental conditions in which animal species are raised to increase productivity are far from optimal. There has been a lot of interest in the role of nutrition in managing the immune systems of animals in order to enhance productivity. This concept becomes more crucial in the production of animals without growth promoting antibiotics. The necessity to combat anti-microbial resistant bacteria is an issue of high priority for public health and agriculture globally. It is possible to derive preventive and even curative solutions from diets. IMMUNITY: A basic understanding 1.1 The immune system The immune response is an essential defense mechanism of an animal. There are two types of immune response which are identified as (a) Innata immune response and (b) Adaptive immune response. Innate immunity   The innate immune response is a non-specific response that occurs very rapidly leading to an inflammatory process (Oswald, 2013). It is intended to exclude or eliminate pa
