Feed additives and supplements Flashcards
When incorporated in the ration, they exert their effect on the gastrointestinal environment by lowering the stomach pH
acidifiers or acidulants
chemical products produced by microorganisms, whichare added in the mixed feed at subtherapeutic level
antibiotics
used to improve the flowability of grains and feeds by preventing feedstuffs from adhering to surfaces, on the inside walls of silos, bins, conveying systems and mixers
anticaking agents
These are used in the prevention and treatment of malaria which include phyrimethamine and chloroquin diphosphate.
antimalarials
chemical preservatives added to the feeds to protect them from decomposition by microorganisms
antimolds
aureomycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, neomycin, virginiamycin, tylosin and
chlortetracycline are examples of?
antibiotics
These are used to prevent rancidity in feeds.
antioxidants
administered to prevent and control coccidiosis
coccidiostats
used against internal parasites of the animals
dewormers
protein molecules that have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions
enzymes
induce feed intake particularly for piglets
flavoring
alkomide, amprolium, clopidol, robenedine,
maduramycin, narasin and salinomycin are examples of?
coccidiostats
flubendazole, tetramizole, oxfendazole, thiabendazole, mebendazole and piperazine are examples of?
dewormers
These are agents added to improve the texture and firmness of pelleted feeds. Examples are gelatin extract derivatives, calcium lignosulphonate and galactomannan gum.
pellet binders
chemical agents added to enhance coloration and pigmentation of the skin or of the egg yolk in poultry
pigmenters
produces egg yolk in the shade of 6 in the standard yolk color fan
carophyll yellow
added to the diet if deeper color of the egg yolk is desired, i.e., greater than the shade 12 in the color fan
carophyll red
produces egg yolk with shade deeper than 6 but less than 12
carophyll orange
consists of a series of colored tabs arranged as a fan corresponding to the range of yolk colors
found in the eggs
yolk color fan
Also known as live microbial supplements, these are beneficial microorganisms (mainly lactic acid producing bacteria and yeast combinations)
added to rations to improve the intestinal microbial balance of the animal. Examples of microorganisms are the Lactobacillus sp. and Bifido bacterium sp.
probiotics
These are used to increase lean-muscle and reduce fat deposition in
carcasses when added in the diet during the finishing period. Examples are
chromium and hormones.
repartitioning agents
These are chemical agents that facilitate uniform dispersion of molecules in feeds or feed mixtures.
surfactants
These are used for detoxification of mycotoxin- contaminated feeds and raw materials by either chelating the mycotoxin or by blocking the effect of mycotoxin at the digestive tract of animals that ingested the contaminated
feeds.
toxin binders
These are commonly used toxin binders (2)
