Fish in the wild have diverse diets depending on their species and environment. Some fish are carnivores feeding on smaller fish, crustaceans, and insects, while others are herbivores grazing on algae and aquatic plants. Many species are omnivores, consuming both plant and animal matter, and their diets can include plankton, insects, and smaller fish, helping maintain the balance of their ecosystem.Fish in the wild have diverse diets depending on their species and environment.

🧠 Understanding Anti-Nutritional Factors in Feed: A Simplified Guide
Fiber terminology in animal nutrition can be a maze—CF, ADF, NDF, NSP, DF—each with overlapping components but distinct implications. Here’s a clear breakdown to help navigate it:
🔹 Crude Fiber (CF) includes lignin and cellulose. It’s a traditional metric but underestimates total fiber content.
🔹 Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) also includes lignin and cellulose. It’s useful for assessing digestibility—higher ADF often means lower digestibility.
🔹 Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) expands on ADF by adding hemicellulose. It reflects bulk and influences voluntary feed intake.
🔹 Non-Starch Polysaccharides (NSP) focus on cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. These affect gut viscosity and microbial fermentation.
🔹 Dietary Fiber (DF) is the broadest category, encompassing lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. It bridges both soluble and insoluble fiber fractions.
🌾 In cereals, the dominant polysaccharides include arabinoxylans and β-glucans, along with xyloglucans, glucomannans, galactomannans, and pectins.
💧 Soluble fibers like pectins and β-glucans increase digesta viscosity and modulate microbiota. 🪵 Insoluble fibers such as cellulose and lignin enhance gut motility and reduce transit time.
🎯 Why This Matters Accurate fiber classification enables:
-
Better enzyme targeting
-
Reduced anti-nutritional impact
-
Improved feed efficiency
-
Tailored gut health strategies

Dear Poultry professional colleagues,
Today (10.10.2025) is the WORLD EGG DAY
The theme for this year is “The Mighty Egg : Packed with Natural Nutrition”
On this day, let us recollect our knowledge on Importance of eggs in Human nutrition and health.
Following images reveal the composition of egg and its importance in our diet.
WISH YOU ALL HAPPY WORLD EGG DAY
– Dr. Malathi

The bulk density of animal feed varies significantly by type, ranging from roughly 15 to 45 pounds per cubic foot for pellets, or 0.5 to 0.7 kg per liter for compound feed, depending on ingredients, particle size, and processing methods. Ingredients like high-fiber forages and wheat middlings lower density, while high-density pellets can improve feed uniformity.

To reduce chicken feed costs, provide supplemental nutrients through free-ranging and farm/kitchen scraps, grow your own feed like fodder or insects, use waste-reducing feeders, ferment feed, buy in bulk through co-ops, choose efficient breeds, and improve feed storage to buy when prices are low.
-
Feeds being analyzed include a wide range of animal feeds, such as livestock and poultry feed, pet food, and aquaculture feed, as well as individual ingredients like forages, grains, and supplements. The analysis focuses on determining their nutritional and safety qualities, including dry matter, protein, fat, fiber, minerals, and the presence of contaminants like mycotoxins.
-
Yes, moisture loss (shrinkage) during feed ingredient storage can lead to changes in nutritional profiles by concentrating other nutrients and impacting the digestibility of components like starch and protein, while also increasing the risk of spoilage if high moisture in the air allows for mold and bacterial growth, depleting nutrients and producing toxins. Effective moisture management is crucial to maintain feed quality, prevent nutrient degradation, and ensure the product’s nutritional specifications are met.
