Possible effects of functional feed additive as a growth promoter in turkeys and pigs

Abstract

Effects of functional feed additives based on the fungus Fusarium.S and organic acids were studied. The research studied corporal parameters, the safety, growth and development of young turkeys and pigs. It was found that the Asido Bio-TCIT feed additive improves the physiological state of piglets and turkey poults, reduces feed conversion, increases live weight and profitability of meat production.

Feed Additives of Bacterial Origin as an Immunoprotective or Immunostimulating Factor – A Review

“…According to article 6 (Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003), feed additives are divided into 5 groups: 1) technological: any substance added to feed for a technological purpose; 2) sensory: any substance that improves or changes the organoleptic properties of the feed, or the visual characteristics of the food derived from animals; 3) nutritional: the addition of which improves or maintains the nutritive value of the feed; 4) zootechnical: any additive used to favorably affect the performance of animals in good health or used to favorably affect the environment; 5) coccidiostats and histomonostats: substances intended to inhibit or destroy protozoa that cause coccidiosis or histomoniasis. Sometimes this division is not sufficient to accurately describe the properties of a particular product, and in these instances the term "functional additives" is used to more clearly define their purpose (Pluske, 2013;Gainullina et al, 2020;Verso et al, 2020). In general, feed additives, due to their pro-health effects, can be divided into two basic groups: immunoprotective and immunostimulating (Szuba-Trznadel et al, 2014;Satora et al, 2021).…”
