AbstractAdditive efficacy of Vitamin D in Commercial Chicken

Vitamin D3 and its metabolites produce beneficial effects on the performance of both broiler and egg laying chickens. Cholecalciferol and its metabolites and requirements has varying effect on hatchability of fertile eggs and humoral immunity. Notable beneficial effects have been seen on body weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency in both broilers and laying hens. Cholecalciferol can provide beneficial effects on egg quality by increasing egg production, egg and shell weight, and shell strength by increasing thickness. It has a significant effect on the immune system and can help in the suppression of certain autoimmune diseases. The possible mechanisms contributing to these effects and the factors thought to explain the variability in these responses are discussed. Overall, cholecalciferol and its metabolites have been shown to greatly improve the performance of both types of commercial chickens, which can lead to enhanced production and a reduction in feed costs. The different authors recommend a modified feeding programme containing higher levels of vitamin D3 supplementation than the NRC (1994) requirements in order to allow for sufficient skeletal growth in the starter and finisher diets of broilers.

Key Words: Chicken, Vitamin D, Performance, Metabolites and egg.

Abstract®Optimum Vitamin Nutrition (OVN ) for better Health and Performance of Poultry

Vitamins are essential micronutrients, required for optimum health and normal physiological functions such as growth, development, maintenance or reproduction. Vitamins are divided into two groups: the fat-soluble group includes the vitamins A, D3, E and K, and the water-soluble, including the B-complex (B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid and biotin) and vitamin C. As most vitamins cannot be synthesized by poultry, they must be obtained from the feed. Fat-soluble vitamins may be deposited in the animal body, while water-soluble vitamins are not stored, and excesses are rapidly excreted. Vitamin requirements of poultry are dynamic and may change with further genetic developments of high performing breeds, modifications in nutrition or adaptations in production systems. The vitamin levels, recommended by respected organizations such as NRC are certainly enough for preventing clinical deficiencies, but do not support optimum health, performance and welfare of modern hybrid lines. In addition, most dietary vitamins can be deposited in meat and eggs of supplemented poultry and thereby improve the nutritional value of the end products. To entirely exploit the genetic potential of recent genotypes, to strengthen the disease resistance and to improve welfare as well as to optimize meat and egg quality, the vitamin nutrition of poultry must be

®regularly reviewed. The Optimum Vitamin Nutrition (OVN ) concept provides practical recommendations for feeding poultry high quality vitamins in the right amounts and ratios, appropriate to their life stage and growing conditions. The quality of both vitamins and premix plays a fundamental role for ensuring that poultry are receiving the expected amounts of vitamins.

®Supplementing feed with vitamins in accordance to OVN is the safest and most economical way to maintain a high level of welfare and health as well as to achieve good performance and high product quality in poultry production.

Abstract®HyD : the most effective source of vitamin D for poultry nutrition

The continuous genetic development of poultry breeds is improving the performance of both meat-type and egg-type poultry. However, several metabolic problems, impairing health and welfare of the birds, are somewhat associated with this outstanding performance. In broilers, the development of the skeletal frame does not always follow the impressive muscle accretion. In layers, increased laying cycles are not adequately supported by a correct development of the skeleton during the pullet phase, when frame is formed. These insufficiencies may result in bone abnormalities (e.g. rickets, osteoporosis), leg disorders or worsen egg shell quality. These problems are closely associated with the continuous demand for vitamin D activity in poultry. Vitamin D3 is an essential nutrient, which regulates the absorption of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) from the intestinal lumen and also increases the re-absorption of Ca and P from the renal tubules. This homeostatic function is important to provide sufficient minerals for incorporation into the bone matrix and in the egg shells. However, in order to become active, vitamin D3 has to be metabolized through two subsequent hydroxylation steps, a first one to the 25-hydoxyvitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) in the liver and a second one to the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2-D3) in the kidney. When feeding 25-OH-D3 (HyD�) to poultry, Ca and P homeostasis is optimized, which results in a reduction of leg disorders and an improvement of performance and processing yield in broilers. In layers more eggs are produced with stronger egg shells particularly in the second part of the laying cycle, when demineralization of the bones, increases the risk of osteoporosis and cage-layer fatigue. By increasing the concentration of 25-OH-D3 in the fertilized egg, HyD provides to the embryo the only available source of vitamin D3 activity and thus improves both development and hatchability of the bird. In conclusion, HyD is the most effective source of vitamin D activity for a modern poultry production.

Key Words: Chicken, Vitamin D3, HYD, Osteoporosis and Poultry Production.

AbstractRole of Vitamins in Poultry

We believe that every single animal should receive the right level of vitamins. The reason is simple: vitamins are vital to their health, well-being and performance. Vitamins are the foundation for the balanced animal diet. Vitamins are essential for wellbeing and good health. They play many crucial roles in farm animals, in areas including; Bone formation, Disease resistance, Feed efficiency, Growth, Fertility and Egg production. We know that there are three attributes that define a vitamin additive that delivers; Bioavailability – enhancing the use animals make of the vitamins and the benefits this brings, Stability – our vitamins are formulated to survive the processes used in feed manufacture so they are available to the animals eating the feed, Handling – our vitamins are produced to ensure efficient mixing and inclusion in feeds with minimal dust. A strong immune system is also vital in modern poultry production. By adding a strong vitamins formulation has shown to boost immune function, which supports optimal growth rates and reduces mortality in commercial flocks.

Key Words: Poultry, Vitamins, Immunity and egg production.

AbstractRe-evaluation of dietary vitamin requirements in modern poultry?

Tanveer Ahmad and Aqeel Ahmad Shad

Diet formulation in modern era of poultry consists an array of ingredients that match desired nutrient profile at the minimum cost. The nutrient profile used is based on research or field observations evaluating the economically important production function of interest. These production function includes typically the body weight, feed conversion or breast meat accretion, not immunity or disease resistance. Although the balance of nutrients is directly involved in optimizing the production function, variation in their levels can have a substantial impact on cellular systems and immunity. Over the last 3 decades enough work is missing on estimating vitamin requirements of poultry that caused to quote NRC (1994) values as standards. The change in the genetic make up of both layer and meat type birds necessitates re-evaluation of vitamin requirements. The modern day poultry production parameters for assessing dietary needs are more complex than simple production matrics as used previously. The studies indicated either decrease or increase in the levels of different type of vitamins in both layer and meat type birds. The information on maintenance needs for vitamins are still lacking. Further, the deposition of vitamins in poultry meat and eggs are of concern. The increased dietary vitamins levels reported to have vitamin enriched poultry products. This is an important basis for re-evaluating vitamin needs as many vitamins and especially the fat soluble vitamins accumulate in eggs and meat in proportion to diet inclusion. However, the vitamin level in poultry meat products and eggs is surprising lacking. With improving feed efficiency, vitamin intake per unit of output is continually declining 0.97-1.12% yearly per kg body weight gain in broilers and 1.65% yearly decline in vitamin intake per egg produced in layers. Dietary levels of certain vitamin, far in excess of NRC (1994) requirements, have shown positive impact on immune response in all ages of bird and also the performance of heat-stressed birds. Expectations of ever increasing performance dictates the need for continual re-evaluation in determining vitamin level within diet formulations on optimum vitamin nutrition of poultry to improve health, welfare, performance and the quality of poultry products. The re-evaluation will also reduced the loss of vitamin in excreta and having positive impact on production economics.
