“…It is known that feed degrades with time reducing its shelf life. Rancidity, for example, results from chemical reactions between reactive forms of oxygen and the production of aldehydes (-CHO-) and ketones (-C=O-) and degrades unsaturated fatty acids (Makała, 2021). Anti-oxidants such as selenium, vitamin E, and other additives can be infused into feed to reduce this effect (Xiao et al, 2021).…”

“…Anti-oxidants such as selenium, vitamin E, and other additives can be infused into feed to reduce this effect (Xiao et al, 2021). Other additives in this category are pellet binders and mold inhibitors (Makała, 2021). Also, some additives have been used to aid the digestion of ingesta, to increase voluntary feed intake with the use of feed flavors such as molasses, or modify metabolism in animals (Kirkpinar and Acikgoz, 2018).…”

Livestock including cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and poultry are kept under traditional farming systems producing manure, supporting crop production, insurance and financing emergency cash needs, and improving social status. The livestock feed resource base is mostly natural graze and crop residues whose quality and supply are dependent upon unreliable rainfall patterns. Due to rising demand for cropland, overgrazing, bush encroachment and bush burning, grazing supplies are being depleted. Grazing is supplemented using commercial feeds heavily infused with antibiotics contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Feed constitutes the largest expenditure, thus incorporating functional feed ingredients is favored. The study serves to increase farmers' awareness to substituting antimicrobials with functional feed ingredients. A systematic review of literature was done and keywords related to animal nutrition, functional feeds and antimicrobial resistance were used to identify relevant articles. Results revealed that functional feeding of livestock offers a potential diversity to animal production systems and may increase profitability in animal husbandry ventures. Functional feed ingredients improve productivity and vigor by enhancing digestibility, preserving and stabilizing beneficial gut microflora, and having a favorable impact on the environment. Probiotics, plant phytogenic compounds, and prebiotics, have the potential to replace antimicrobials as environmentally-friendly therapeutics and growth promoters.

This study investigated the potency of bird eye pepper of varying proportion and sieve size on growth performance and meat quality of broiler chickens. Two hundred and forty-six (246) two-week old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to six treatment groups (basal diet (B) inclusive x 2) in a 2 X 3 factorial arrangement each replicated four times (10 x 10 x 10 x 11) in a completely randomized design. Diets-containing BEP of varying proportion (0, 150 and 300 g) and sieve size (0.05 and 0.1 mm) were offered in two phases, starter (14 days) and finisher (17 days). Post-feeding, 48 birds (two per replicate) were sacrificed to further evaluate performance and assess the quality of meat produced. Result obtained indicate chicks fed 150 g BEP consumed less feed compared to 300 g BEP. Also, 0 and 150 g BEP groups had better (P <0.05) FCR than 300 g BEP, while 0.05 mm BEP diet improved (P < 0.05) FCR as against 0.1 mm BEP. Interaction of proportion and sieve size effects of BEP increased (P < 0.05) the final weight of the birds and suppressed (P < 0.05) feed intake for all groups as against 300 g (0.1 mm) BEP (1576.00 g/bird; 964.20 g/bird). Feeding 150 and 300 g BEP diets lowered (P < 0.05) super oxide dismutase (SOD) production compared to 0 g BEP, while 150 g BEP diet increased (P < 0.05) catalase production over 0 g BEP. Interactive effect of proportion and sieve size of BEP reduced (P < 0.05) SOD production in 150 g (0.05 & 0.1 mm) BEP and 300 g (0.05 mm) BEP groups, followed by 300 g (0.1 mm) BEP group that had lower (P < 0.05) SOD than both basal groups. Birds fed B + 150 g (0.05 mm) BEP diet produced more (P < 0.05) catalase compared to both basal groups. Meat pH for 150 and 300 g BEP groups was significantly (P < 0.05) reduced than 0 g BEP. This study has shown BEP at low concentration (150 g) screened with 0.05 & 0.1 mm sieves enhanced chick welfare, while a higher concentration (300 g) screened at 0.05 mm improved overall growth performance (endogenous-antioxidant profile) at finisher phase. Broiler chickens, farmers and meat processors will benefit from diet-containing BEP screened through 0.05 mm sieve.
