Brief Introduction to Animal Nutrition Additives

 

 

Animal nutrition additives contain various nutrients required for animal feeding, such as Schizochytrium, β-carotene, coated sodium butyrate, DHA, Tributyrin, etc. These functional feed additives simultaneously improve animal health and welfare and reduce the ecological footprint of animal farming. Targeted feed supplements can promote sustainable food production by improving land use efficiency, reducing deforestation and monocultures, maintaining biodiversity, and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and freshwater.

 

Types of Animal Nutrition Additives

 

Schizochytrium Algae Powder
Schizochytrium Algae Powder is a nice feed additive to increase the pets and animals DHA nutrition. Schizochytrium sp. is a heterotrophic microalgae belonging to the order Thraustochytriales within the phylum Heterokonta, which can yield about 40% (w/w) of DHA from its total fatty acid production. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) belongs to the family of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that is a primary structural component of the human brain, cerebral cortex, skin, and retina.

 

Feed Grade β-carotene
Beta-carotene feed additive is a source of bioavailable provitamin A that compensates for vitamin A deficiency in farm animals, including poultry. Beta-carotene feed is more digestible than its natural sources and has multiple functions. It stimulates the activity of the immune system and increases animal fertility, while it protects cells from the negative effects of free radicals. These additives are partially soluble in water and do not lose activity after heat treatment.

 

Coated Sodium Butyrate
Coated Sodium Butyrate powder are well known for enhancing animal health and performance. Different studies showed the following effects when using sodium butyrate as a feed supplement: stimulates villi growth and thereby the digestive surface, improves gut barrier function and balancing the gut microbiota. Uncoated butyrate will dissolve straight away in the upper part of the digestive tract, before reaching the lower parts of the gastrointestinal tract. By providing butyrate with a special matrix coating, it ensures the gradual release of butyrate within the digestive tract. In this way, butyrate will be released in an optimal pattern all the way to the end of the small intestine, thereby improving the animal's performance and health.

 

Feed Grade DHA Oil
Feed Grade DHA Oil provides animals with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid found in cold-water fatty fish such as salmon. It is also found in fish oil supplements, along with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Omega-3 fatty acids namely alpha linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are important components of cell membranes essential for health and normal physiological functioning of livestock and humans.

 

Tributyrin
Tributyrin is an esterification product of 3 molecules of butyric acid and 1 molecule of glycerol. Tributyrin can be hydrolyzed by endogenous lipase in the small intestine, so tributyrin is a good source of butyric acid for animals. Tributyrin is commonly used as an additive in animal feed, particularly in swine and poultry diets. The use of tributyrin in animal feed is based on the potential benefits of butyric acid, which is the primary metabolite of tributyrin. Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid that has been shown to have several benefits in animal nutrition. It is a source of energy for intestinal cells and helps maintain the structural integrity of the intestinal lining, which can improve nutrient absorption and reduce the risk of digestive disorders. Butyric acid has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help improve immune function in animals.

 

Monolaurin Powder
Monolaurin is used in the animal industry for its antibacterial properties. The main effects of monolaurin is against gram positive bacteria as it disrupts their outside lipid membranes, but also is documented to have antiviral properties on fat- enveloped viruses. Monolaurin is monoglyceride of lauric acid. Lauric acid, among the medium-short-chain fatty acids, is the one with the greatest antibacterial power. The mixture of lauric acid in free and esterified form allows this product to have a very high antibacterial activity, a better cost/benefit ratio and greater stability at high temperatures. Monolaurin is used for preventing and treating colds (the common cold), flu (influenza), swine flu, herpes, shingles, and other infections.

 

γ-Aminobutyric Acid(GABA)
The main component of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) feed additive is γ-aminobutyric acid, a non-protein amino acid widely present in animals, plants and microorganisms. When administered orally to animals, it can reduce high temperature stress, transportation stress, digestive stress, etc. in animals such as dairy cows in summer. GABA feed additive is natural GABA or synthetic GABA obtained during lactic acid fermentation, in powder or liquid form.

 

Benefits of Animal Nutrition Additives
 

Small But Mighty
Feed additives optimize the nutritional value, color, aroma, or texture of the feed. This can affect the feed itself (e.g., prolong shelf life, prevent mold growth) or directly support the animal (e.g., provide vitamins and minerals, support intestinal microbiota, strengthen the immune system, and contribute to the general well-being), which in turn has a positive effect on the performance of the animals. As feed additives receive increased attention among scientists, nutritionists, feed manufacturers, and producers, research helps in developing more safe and efficient solutions. As an example, plant-derived (phytogenic) feed additives (PFAs) are a relative newcomer to commercial livestock production. Nevertheless, they are moving further into the spotlight due to their holistic and broad-spectrum functionalities. Phytogenics are standardized, specific, and science-based combinations of bioactive compounds found and inspired within the plant universe with benefits for animals, people, and the environment.

 

Improve Feed Efficiency
Feed additives are substances added to animal feed to enhance the nutritional value of the feed, improve animal performance, and maintain animal health. These are commonly used in animal nutrition and can provide numerous benefits, including improving feed efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and increasing animal health and productivity. However, there are also risks associated with the use of feed additives, including potential negative impacts on animal health, human health, and the environment. One of the main benefits of feed additives in animal nutrition is improved feed efficiency. These can help animals digest their feed more efficiently, allowing them to extract more nutrients from the feed and convert it into meat, milk, or eggs more effectively. This can lead to improved animal performance, including faster growth rates, improved weight gain, and increased milk production.

 

Reduce the Environmental Impact of Animal Agriculture
Another benefit is their ability to reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture. By improving feed efficiency, feed additives can help reduce the amount of feed needed to produce a given amount of animal protein. This can help reduce the amount of land, water, and other resources needed to produce animal protein, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with animal agriculture. These can also improve animal health and productivity. For example, some feed additives can help to prevent or treat diseases in animals, reducing the need for antibiotics and other medications. Others can help to improve the quality of animal products, such as by increasing the levels of omega-3 fatty acids in milk or eggs.

 

Factors to Consider When Purchasing Animal Nutrition Additives

Although many of the feed additive suppliers claim the efficacy based on the active ingredient, we know that product form quality and formulation are as critical as the active ingredient and we should consider the following parameters of the feed additive before we decide.

Stability

Many feed productions practices like pelleting apply high temperature and humidity to the feed and additives. Do you think your feed additive is stable enough to reach to intestinal tract at sufficient level to show expected activity? In some cases, like additional heating system (against pathogens like Salmonella) before conditioner in poultry or extrusion in fish feed or pet food production systems create more extreme situations.

Bioavailability

The feed additive might be stable enough to reach to the targeted place like intestinal tract, but it cannot be available to the targeted species. Several field problems have been reported due to less bioavailable vitamins or some other additives.

Feed Grade β-carotene
DHA Algae Oil

Mixability

Many cases feed additives should be added into the feed at very low inclusion rates (for example biotin). So, they should be used as premix to provide higher inclusion rate to the feed in order to secure homogeneity. If the feed additive particle structure (size and distribution) is not properly designed for premix or feed, even stability and bioavailability are fine you will have uniformity problem due to nonhomogeneous distribution in the feed.

Handling

If the additive has high dusting properties, some part of the product is lost during handling and dangerous for the operators (fatal risks due to breathing). Electrostatic properties cause loses of the product on the production lines and may create more severe problems like dust explosion.

 

Potential Risks of Animal Nutrition Additives
 

There are also risks associated with the use of feed additives in animal nutrition.

Potential Negative Impact on Animal Health

One of the main risks is the potential negative impact on animal health, such as antibiotics have been linked to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in animals and humans. This can make it more difficult to treat bacterial infections in both animals and humans, leading to increased morbidity and mortality.

Environmental Pollution

Another risk associated is the potential for environmental pollution, phosphorus and nitrogen can contribute to water pollution if they are not properly managed. This can lead to harmful algal blooms and other environmental problems, including reduced water quality and wildlife habitat.

Interaction Between Different Additives

There is also a risk of interaction between different additives. Certain combinations of additives may have a negative impact on animal or human health, even if each individual additive is considered safe. When animals are given high doses of antibiotics, some of the antibiotics may not be absorbed by the animal and can be excreted in their manure. This can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment, which can then be transmitted to humans and other animals.

Risk of Human Health Impacts

Finally, there is also a risk of human health impacts associated with the use of feed additives in animal nutrition. Some feed additives, such as hormones and growth promoters, have been linked to increased cancer risk and other health problems in humans. Additionally, some people may have allergic reactions or other adverse reactions to certain feed additives. To minimize these risks, it is important to carefully evaluate the potential benefits and risks of each feed additive and use them only when they are necessary and safe. Additionally, it is important to ensure that feed additives are used in a responsible and sustainable manner, taking into account the potential impacts on the environment and the health and welfare of both animals and humans.

Q: What are animal sources of EPA and DHA?

A: EPA and DHA: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) come mainly from cold-water fish, so they are sometimes called marine omega-3s. Salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring, and sardines contain high amounts of EPA/DHA.

Q: What are the six common feed additives?

A: Some of the most commonly used feed additives in animal rations include enzymes, pro- and prebiotics, antioxidants, antibiotic growth promoters, and coloring agents.

Q: What is the function of the tributyrin?

A: Tributyrin (TB) is a butyric acid precursor and has a key role in anti-inflammatory and intestinal barrier repair effects by slowly releasing butyric acid. However, its roles in gut microbiota disorder caused by antibiotics remain unclear.

Q: What are the benefits of tributyrin in poultry and pigs?

A: Tributyrin stimulates performance, production efficiency and gut health in broilers, layers and piglets. esters may have further advantages over the traditional fat-coated salts of butyrate, especially during early chick development when lipase activity is not yet fully matured.

Q: What is GABA?

A: γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a four-carbon nonessential amino acid and widely known as the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the animal central nervous system (CNS).

Q: What foods have gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA in them?

A: Foods that contain GABA or boost its production in your body include brown rice, soy and adzuki beans, chestnuts, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, sprouted grains and sweet potatoes.

Q: Is gamma-aminobutyric acid safe for dogs?

A: Although due to misuse in the human market it is not allowed in human products however GABA is well recognised as a key, safe ingredient for calming supplements for pets, due to its significant benefits to reducing anxiety in dogs and cats.
