Dual Modification of Guar Meal via Fermentation and Enzyme Treatment Enhances Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Gut Morphology in Broilers

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Fermentation or enzyme treatment of guar meal at low inclusion levels (3%–6%) significantly improved broiler growth, nutrient digestibility, carcass yield and gut morphology, while higher inclusion impaired performance. Dual modification presents a promising strategy for safe and efficient use of guar meal as an alternative protein source in poultry ...

Fruit and Vegetable Peels as Alternative Feed for Sustainable Poultry Production: A Solution for Small‐Scale Farms in Central and Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Fruit and vegetable peels were evaluated as alternative feed resources for small‐scale poultry production in central and southern Ethiopia. Survey data from 360 households and laboratory analyses showed that potato peel had the highest metabolizable energy and crude protein, while pumpkin peel exhibited the highest overall nutritional value.

Functionality of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase in enhancing phosphorus availability to weaned piglets fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet without added inorganic phosphate [PDF]

, 2019
The utility of a next generation biosynthetic bacterial 6-phytase (PhyG) in restoring bone ash, bone phosphorus (P) content and performance in piglets depleted in P was evaluated. A total of 9 treatments were tested as follows.

Effect of increasing levels of phytase on performance, prececal nutrient digestibility, intestinal mucosa physiology and immune response in broiler chickens from 1 to 21 days of age

Poultry Science
Phytic acid is the primary storage form of phosphorus (P) in plants and broiler chickens have a limited capability for its utilization. The supplementation of exogenous phytase in feed enables broilers to use the phytate-bound P.
