This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on dietary
supplements in poultry nutrition. The first chapter reviews latest
research on feed enzymes focussing on identifying the key
challenges researchers face in terms of current trends in enzyme
development, mechanism(s) of action and enzyme efficacy. The second
chapter considers the role of probiotics in optimising gut function
in poultry. It reviews the development of novel, cost-effective,
feed-stable, direct-fed microbials with potential for widespread
utilisation and improved production. The third chapter discusses
the role of essential oils and botanicals in improving gut function
in poultry, focussing on four major functions of phytobiotics that
could potentially contribute to gut health: digestive conditioning,
antimicrobial property, immunomodulation and gut microbiota
modulation. The fourth chapter considers the development of
alternative protein sources for poultry nutrition, including grain
by-products, pulses and algae. It also reviews best practices for
improving the nutritive value of these alternative protein sources.
The final chapter reviews the effects of supplemental full- or
de-fatted microalgal biomass in poultry diets on animal production
and performance, meat and egg qualities, as well as nutrient
metabolism and molecular responses.
