Abstract:
... Despite the large quantities and possibilities of reuse of the by-products (solids and liquids) generated by the brewing industry, the proper disposal of these by-products has imposed severe problems for circular and cleaner production transitions worldwide. These challenges are still more salient for the small breweries due to the recognized lack of resources, such as knowledge, finances, and ski ...

Abstract:
... The continuous growth of population and the steady improvement of people's living standards have accelerated the generation of massive food waste. Untreated food waste has great potential to harm the environment and human health due to bad odor release, bacterial leaching, and virus transmission. However, the application of traditional disposal techniques like composting, landfilling, animal feedi ...
... The content of photosynthetic pigments in herbage not only has a strong antioxidant function, but also can improve the health of animals and the quality of livestock products after being ingested by ruminants. Increasing the content of photosynthetic pigments can improve the feed value of herbage, which is of great significance in the process of animal feeding. The experiment aimed to investigate ...

Abstract:
... Antibiotic growth-promoters in animal feeding are known to generate bacterial resistance on commercial farms and have proven deleterious effects on human health. This review addresses the effects of probiotics and their symbiotic relationship with the animal host as a viable alternative for producing healthy meat, eggs, and milk at present and in the future. Probiotics can tolerate the conditions ...
... Phytases are hydrolytic enzymes capable of a stepwise phosphate release from phytate which is the main phosphorous storage in seeds, cereals and legumes. Limitations such as low enzyme activity or incomplete phytate hydrolysis to inositol are a great challenge in phytase applications in food and feed. Herein we report a phytase blend of two enzymes with additive effects on phytate (InsP6) hydrolys ...

Abstract:
... The increase in human population determines a higher proteins request to sustain the feed demand for animals and aquaculture. Single Cell Proteins (SCPs) consist of mixed protein from pure and mixed culture of bacteria, fungi, algae, and yeast, which are grown and harvested to accomplish the food requirement of human and animals. This work investigated the production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ...

Abstract:
... Circular agriculture and economy systems have recently emerged around the world. It is a long-term environmental strategy that promotes economic growth and food security while reducing negative environmental consequences. Anaerobic digestion (AD) process has a high contribution and effective biodegradation route for bio-wastes valorization and reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions. However, t ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The high dependence of intensive ruminant production on soybean meal and the environmental impact of this crop encourage the search for alternative protein-rich feeds. The use of insects seems promising, but the extent of their ruminal protein degradation is largely unknown. This parameter has major influence not only on N utilization efficiency but also on the environmental burden of ...

Abstract:
... Advanced methods exist to estimate dietary crude protein (CP) degradation in the rumen from the concentrations and/or proportions of chemical nutrient fractions. These methods have been developed primarily for feeds in temperate climates. Therefore, their accuracy and precision to predict proportions of rumen-undegraded CP (RUP) in tropical forages is uncertain. The objectives of the present study ...
... This study was carried out to assess the nutritional composition of some unconventional feed resources available in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh, so as to use them in the diet of livestock to enhance their productivity. Seven (07) unconventional ingredients including soybean husk(Glycine max), mordhan husk(Stariapumila), watermelon seed coat(Citrulluslanatus), babul chuni(Acacia arabica), sau ...

Abstract:
... Coffee is the most common beverage and there are two main different methods to process coffee cherries. Coffee husk is the main by-product of coffee processing by dry method and is available in large quantities throughout the years, but its main application has been limited to animal feeding or energy production. Most of the coffee husk is disposed in landfills or arable land, usually with no care ...

Abstract:
... With the increase in the global buffalo herd, the use of supplementation in the ruminant feeding has become an important area for many researchers who are looking for an isocaloric and isonitrogenous diet to improve production parameters. In order to improve the performance of the Asian water buffalo, the optimal balance of all nutrients, including energy and protein, are important as macronutrien ...

Abstract:
... Acid oils and fatty acid distillates are by-products from the refining of edible oils and fats. They are used as feed ingredients, but their highly variable composition sometimes affects the productive parameters of the animals. Thus, their quality control and standardization are necessary. The official methods recommended for crude and refined fats and oils must be modified to give reliable resul ...

Abstract:
... The production and culture of mushrooms is increasing as a desirable addition to the cuisine since ancient times. Mushroom culture is a biotechnological process that recycles ligninocellulosic wastes, since mushrooms are food for human consumption. Mushroom compost changes during cultivation as a result of fungal activity. Extracellular enzymes and complex compounds are secreted for degredation of ...
... Increasing consumption of cereals has been associated with reduced risk of several chronic diseases, as they contain phytochemicals that combat oxidative stress. Cereal contamination by the “emerging mycotoxins” beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins (ENs) is a worldwide health problem that has not yet received adequate scientific attention. Their presence in feeds represents a risk for animals and a pot ...

Abstract:
... Condensed tannins (CTs) are widely distributed in plants, and due to their recognized antioxidant activity are considered as possible natural antioxidants for application in ruminant diets. A wide range of CT-rich sources has been tested in ruminant diets, and their effects on animal antioxidant status and oxidative stability of their products are reviewed in the present work. Possible mechanisms ...

... In recent years, because of its significant biological roles, the usage of boron has been started in animal feeding. In this research, it was aimed to investigate the ulexite’s action mechanism on the zebrafish brain with an evaluation of the oxidative parameters. The adult zebrafish were exposed to four ulexite doses (5, 10, 20, and 40 mg/l) in a static test apparatus for 96 h. For assessing the ...

Abstract:
... Crop diversification is now well-recognised as a strong lever to address the environmental challenges currently faced by agriculture. Connecting and fostering local exchanges between specialised arable crop and livestock farms can support the diversification of crops and relocate animal feeding with local protein (vs. soya supplements). However, the trade-offs and synergies between individual and ...
... The use of antibiotics in animal feeding has been banned in many countries because of increasing concerns about the development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and potential issues on food safety. Searching for antibiotic substitutes is essential. Applying transgenerational epigenetic technology to animal production could be an alternative. Some environmental changes can be transferred to m ...
