| description | Animal food has to incorporate multiple objectives, ie. it should provide
good animal health, good production and reproductive performance, reduce
pollution of the environment as well as have the impact on food of animal
origin, by supplying it, in addition to basic nutrients, with certain useful
substances that can act preventively on the occurrence of various diseases in
humans in modern living conditions. This complex task implies the application
of scientific knowledge concerning biotechnology in the field of animal feed
production, and also includes the use of specific nutrients that are the
result of the latest developments in specific disciplines such as molecular
biology and genetic engineering. As a result of researches in these areas
there were created some varieties of cereals and legumes with improved
nutritional properties. On the other hand, obtaining a safe food of animal
origin product imposes the use of substances of natural origin (such as
probiotics, prebiotics, phytobiotics, enzymes, chelating forms ..), which
provide better digestibility and more complete utilization of certain
nutrients from the feedstuff. In this way, the quantity of undigested
substances are significantly reduced as well as soil and the atmosphere
pollution. The use of specific additives in animal nutrition resulting from
biotechnological research is most frequent when a problem concerning certain
level of production or animal health has to be overcome. This implies a group
of non-nutritional ingredients which are aimed to regulate the digestive
tract microflora, pH, weight gain, as well as to modify metabolic processes
etc. |
