Summary: The optimal enzymolysis conditions for feather meal were found to be 60 min enzymolysis time, 60°C temperature, 1000 g/kg moisture inclusion, and 10 g/kg protease inclusion. Furthermore, enzymatic feather meal was demonstrated to be a suitable substitute for fish meal in tilapia diets, with no negative effects on growth, nutrient retention, and digestibility.

Summary: The quality of poultry by-product meal (PBM) is not standardized in the industry. Factors such as ash concentration, oil to raw material ratio, collagen, crude protein, processing time, and temperature directly affect the organic matter digestibility and protein oxidation of PBM. The composition of the raw material from the slaughterhouse holds most of the information on PBM composition and digestibility.

Summary: This study reviews the application of nanoencapsulation in animal feedings and relevant drugs. Nanoencapsulation design can protect feed bioactives and improve their absorption and release in animals. Chitosan is found to be the most effective carrier. Nanoparticles and nanocapsules are commonly used nanocarriers. Nanofibers, nanohydrogels, and nanoemulsions have not been applied in feeds yet. For ruminants, nano-minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals, essential fatty acids, and drugs are encapsulated using nanoparticles for improved delivery and bioavailability. Safety and regulatory issues, as well as advantages and disadvantages of nanoencapsulation in animal feeds, are also discussed.

Summary: The present investigation examined the effects of replacing soybean meal with citric waste fermented yeast waste as a protein source for beef cattle. The study found that replacing soybean meal with citric waste fermented yeast waste did not negatively impact feed utilization, rumen fermentation characteristics, or blood metabolites in Thai-native beef cattle.

Summary: Plant phytogenic feed additives have been widely tested in poultry production to improve feed efficiency, digestion, and reduce pathogenic load, but their mechanisms of action still need further research. More efforts are needed to determine the proper inclusion levels and fully elucidate their mode of actions.

Summary: The inclusion of extracted oil palm meal in the diet of goats has been shown to improve feed intake, nutrient digestibility, and rumen fermentation characteristics. Increasing the inclusion levels of extracted oil palm meal resulted in a linear increase in nutrient intake and fiber digestibility. However, it did not affect other nutrient components or microbial populations. Additionally, blood parameters were not significantly impacted by the inclusion of extracted oil palm meal. This study suggests that extracted oil palm meal can be included in the diet of goats without negative consequences.

Summary: Interest in alternative protein sources for poultry nutrition has been growing in recent years due to concerns about the sustainability of traditional protein sources. Insect meal, derived from insects such as black soldier fly, mealworms, and house crickets, has varying nutrient compositions depending on the insect species and production method. This review provides an updated overview of insect meal as a protein concentrate in poultry diets, highlighting its nutritional value, advantages, challenges, and future prospects. Insect meal has been shown to be a rich source of protein and minerals with high digestibility, and its use in poultry feed could reduce costs and environmental impact.

Summary: The study found that molybdenum intake in water has less impact on copper absorption and retention, compared to molybdenum supplemented in the diet. Steers supplemented with molybdenum in feed and water showed similar levels of copper absorption and retention.

Summary: The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the growth of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, posing a threat to human health. To address this, the effects of plant feed additives on the quality of poultry products were studied. The results showed that sweet chestnut wood extract, as a feed additive, improved the digestibility and growth rate of broiler chickens.

Summary: Increased dietary n-6 FA leads to reduced n-3 in tissue polar lipids in Atlantic salmon, with EPA significantly reduced while DHA remains stable. Maintaining a stable n-3 content in polar lipids can be achieved by simultaneously increasing dietary n-3 content and maintaining the same n-6:n-3 FA ratio. The study suggests that a better use of dietary EPA is achieved by keeping the dietary n-6:n-3 FA ratio low.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of dietary n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio on the growth and disease progression of Atlantic salmon challenged with Paramoeba perurans. The results showed that an increased dietary n-6/n-3 FA ratio affected the growth of the fish, while the challenge with P. perurans did not alter the mRNA expression of immune genes.

Summary: The chapter discusses the impact of insects in aquafeeds, suggesting a maximum threshold of 25-30% for insect inclusion in aquafeeds for uncompromised performance. It also identifies factors such as reduction in protein digestibility, imbalanced amino acid profile, and increasing levels of saturated fatty acids as major limitations for higher inclusion of insects in aquafeeds.
