Understanding Carbohydrates: Digestion and Metabolism
Carbohydrates, composed of one or more monosaccharides (such as glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, and ribose), are a vital energy source for animals. The breakdown of complex carbohydrates depends on the type of glycosidic bond and the species' digestive system (foregut vs. hindgut fermenters).This video explores the essential role of carbohydrates in animal nutrition, focusing on the structure, digestion, and metabolic pathways.
Oxidative Stress and Nutritional Strategies for Animal Health
Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, leading to cellular damage and the activation of harmful biological pathways. Elevated oxidative stress can cause protein and lipid damage, negatively impacting animal health and performance.In this webinar, we will explore effective nutritional strategies to manage oxidative stress and promote animal well-being.
Updates on mycotoxins risks and actions in monogastric feed
This webinar provides an up-to-date analysis of the global distribution and prevalence of mycotoxins, based on current observations and predictive models. With mycotoxins posing a persistent threat to animal health, particularly in monogastric species, staying informed on regulatory changes is crucial.
Colostrum for a good start
Colostrum is critical for providing passive immunity to newborn calves, and ensuring both the quality and quantity of colostrum is essential. This presentation discusses key factors that influence colostrum production and highlights the importance of effective colostrum management practices.Additionally, the webinar addresses common questions about the impact of dry period nutrition on colostrum quality. Based on current research, we will explore cow-related, management, and environmental factors that affect colostrum quality and its role in calf health.
Effects of rumen protected amino acids on immunity and fertility
Amino acids play a crucial role in various physiological functions, with certain amino acids being more important at specific stages of a cow’s productive life, such as during milk production, fertility, or immune response. In recent years, research has expanded on the functional role of amino acids, particularly in enhancing nitrogen utilization on dairy farms.This webinar will focus on the benefits of using rumen-protected amino acids during the transition period and their impact on cow fertility, immune response, and the development and immunity of future progeny.
Promoting intestinal health in piglets
Recent increases in litter size have led to lower average piglet birth weights and reduced uniformity within litters. This has negatively impacted piglet viability, resulting in slower growth and higher mortality rates, particularly in the first days after farrowing.This webinar will explore nutritional strategies to support sows in improving litter uniformity and boosting piglet birth weights, ultimately enhancing overall piglet health and survival.
Understanding the Poultry Intestinal Tract: A Refresher
This quick refresher provides essential insights into the poultry intestinal tract, offering a foundation for better understanding poultry nutrition. Strengthen your knowledge to support further learning and optimize nutritional strategies for improved bird health and performance.
Sustainable Feed: Impacts on Formulation and Costs
As governments push for more sustainable farming practices, the feed industry faces important questions regarding how to define and achieve sustainable feed production. This webinar explores the implications of sustainability targets on feed ingredients, formulations, and costs, with a focus on practical strategies for the industry.
Exploring Alternative Feedstuffs: Hemp, Camelina, Groundnut, Cotton, and Egg Products
As an independent knowledge institute, SFR frequently addresses inquiries about the use of less common or new feedstuffs that are temporarily available in different regions of the world. This webinar offers an overview of these alternative ingredients and their potential in animal nutrition, focusing on feedstuffs such as hemp, camelina, groundnut/peanut, cotton, and egg products.
