Mannan-Rich Fractions in Poultry Nutrition: A Sustainable and Defensive Strategy against Antimicrobial Resistance
Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has evolved to be a significant global threat, menacing worldwide health and food security. Its proliferation in poultry farming has spurred the search for sustainable, non-antibiotic alternatives. One promising alternative is Mannan-Rich Fractions (MRFs), which is derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These bioactive compounds not only support poultry health but also aid in suppressing pathogenic bacteria without contributing to resistance. This review brings together current studies highlighting how …

Incidence of Salmonella spp., Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp. and Two Micronutrients (Zinc and Iron) Present in Poultry Feeds Collected from Sokoto, Nigeria
Abstract: Mostly, poultry quality is determined by its feed. Thus, in this time of ravaging pollution and infectious diseases monitoring of quality of products related to poultry is eminent. This study aimed at determining the incidence of some microbes and micronutrients (zinc and iron) in poultry feed in Sokoto, Nigeria. Standard methods and materials of analytical grade were used. Zinc and iron micronutrients were determined in feed and egg using atomic …
