An overview of synthetic amino acids

Thu, 17 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Mike T. KIDD, Center of Excellence for Poultry Science, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, USA

More than 50 years of development of synthetic amino acids and how each new one has helped to revise amino acid supply and lower dietary protein content.

Advancia 2016:
Sulfur amino acids: more than essential amino acids! 10 years of new research to demonstrate their roles in cell signaling, modulating lipid and energy metabolisms and promoting antioxidant mechanisms. Watch scientists testimonials on Amino Acids research.

Reproduction: Roles of Methionine and Lysine

Tue, 26 May 2020 00:00:00 GMT

During this webinar Dr. Phil Cardoso, Department of Animal Science, University of Illinois is prsenting his insights on: Reproduction: Roles of Methionine and Lysine Fulfilling amino acid requirements contributes to dairy reproduction, production, and health. The essential nutrients methionine and lysine impact reproduction in several ways: Through follicle quality, uterine environment, embryo composition, pregnancy recognition, pregnancy loss, placenta signaling, and calf birthweight.

Smart Science Series
Through the Smart Science Series of six webinars, explore the rewards of amino acid balancing and ration formulation. In the first five webinars, a university professor discusses the aspect in which he is the top industry expert. The sixth webinar is forward looking, as two university professors discuss aligning genetic potential with nutritional requirements for longevity and sustainability.

Intestinal functionality: the dichotomy between nutrient and barrier function

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Todd APPLEGATE Univ of Georgia, USA

Presentation:
The gut and its microbial population are adaptive and responds to ingredients, to their nutritive and anti-nutritional values. They are als challenged by potential pathogens. Those factors will affect maintenance and digestibility.

Poultry Science Association Annual Meeting 2019

The bird and its ecosystem:
A global approach for an efficient production.
How to work with a complete and dynamic ecosystem is the challenge facing today’s nutritionist. Having a global and integrative view of how the intestinal microbiome and the animal’s body function together is the basis of sustainable nutrition.

How to better adapt nutrient requirements to challenging conditions?

Advancia Academy 2018: Strengthening intestinal frontier: key for performance - Questions & Answers Session

The intestinal frontier integrity: the tight junctions

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Raquel MARTIN-VENEGAS, Fac Pharmacy, FFUB, Barcelona, Spain

The selectivity of the intestinal frontier is ensured by the good functioning of the tight functions. Their complex protein structure helps to ensure the intestinal frontier integrity and most of the absorption through the enterocytes and the transcellular pathway. Dietary solutions, such as OH-Met, pro- and pre-biotics can strengthen the tight junctions and thus the intestinal frontier.

Specific dietary appetites in broilers with hyperthermia

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Eugeni Roura, Queensland Univ, Brisbane, Australia

The 1st consequence of heat stress is a reduced feed intake. Modern broilers appeared more sensitive to protein than energy intake also under hot conditions. Stimulating the specific appetite for amino acids may be a good lever to improve performance under heat challenges.

Muscle biology and meat quality

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Dr Cécile Berri, Poultry Research Unit, BOA, INRA, France

Heat-exposed birds will exhibit more acid and PSE meat leading to poor meat conservation and technological yield.

Diet amino acid considerations in poultry under stress

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Mike Kidd, Centre of Excellence in Poultry Research, Univ of Arkansas, USA

Heat stress is one component of various stressful situations faced by birds: physiological, immunological, nutritional, intestinal… stresses. Amino acid supply has to be revised according to those stress situations.

ESPN, the occasion to exchange on Facts and think about Future

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Birger SVIHUS

A big challenge in today broilers: a huge intake and a short time to digest it. Enhancing as much as possible the digestibility is clearly an objective but we have to deal with the microbiota: how to stimulate the beneficial and reduce the harmful ones.

Prof Birger Svihus, President of European Federation of WPSA, illustrates the key issues of the feed form. He also believes in the young participants of such conferences to stimulate new research.

What drives appetite and feed intake in birds?

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Speaker: Prof Eugeni ROURA and Prof Henry CLASSEN

A crucial question to support the huge genetic potential of our broilers.

What are the drivers, what are the motivation of the birds for feed and water? Can we influence feed and water intakes, the first step to improve performance?

What about intestinal barrier or intestinal integrity?

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 00:00:00 GMT

Speakers: Prof Richard DUCATELLE, Prof Filip VAN IMMERSEEL

The intestinal lumen represents where the outside world is in closest contact with the blood. Integrity of the intestinal wall and strong tight junctions are key for healthy gut.

The size of the feed particles is also an important parameter affecting gut microbiota. Prof Richard Ducatelle and Filip van Immerseel debate on the importance of the gut and its microbiota on the performance of the animals. Knowing better the indigestible part is key to improve gut functioning.
