Project duration01.01.2024 – 31.12.2027
In connection with the ban on the use of antibiotic growth stimulants, innovations in animal feeding are leading to the use of various groups of additives of natural origin. Substances that lead to improved feed conversion, maintain animal health, reduce costs, and bring economic benefits without negative effects on animal or human health. One of the many alternatives to antibiotic growth stimulants are humic substances, probiotics, and acidifiers. The project will focus on monitoring the effect of these selected natural additives (humic substances, probiotics, and acidifiers) and their combinations on feed safety by evaluating their degradation effects of mycotoxins on digestion, absorption, metabolism, and excretion of nutrients, on the development and activity of intestinal microflora, on the immune system, and on product quality in monogastric animals (pigs and poultry). As well as the possibilities of using insect meal as an alternative source of protein in the nutrition of monogastric animals.
