Antimicrobial growth promoters - Where do we go from here?
Authors: Edited by D. Barug, J. de Jong, A.K. Kies and M.W.A. Verstegen
It is widely acknowledged that the inclusion of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) in the diet of livestock increases growth rate. However, many questions arise on whether the benefits outweigh the risks, or vice versa. Recent legislative developments in the European Union and USA, recommendations by the World Health Organization, initiatives taken by the food chain, and consumer concerns all point to a widespread (voluntary) removal of antibiotic feed additives for animal growth promotion. In particular, Regulation (EC) 83 /2003 lays down provisions phasing out the authorisations of AGPs in the European Union as from January 2006. This book discusses how this will affect the use/non-use practice of AGPs.

Commercial Poultry Nutrition 2nd Edition
Authors: S Leeson and JD Summers
Commercial Poultry Nutrition has been accepted throughout the world as the standard reference work for the practical application of feeding systems in all elements of the poultry industry. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and enlarged by almost a third, bringing it right up to date. As such, it is a valuable source of practical reference for nutritionists, veterinarians and professionals involved in commercial poultry production.

Meeting the Mycotoxin Menace
Authors: Edited by D. Barug, H. van Egmond, R. Lopez-Garcia, T. van Osenbruggen and A. Visconti
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of moulds belonging essentially to the Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium genera. They can be produced on a wide range of agricultural commodities and under a diverse range of situations. Due to their various toxic effects and their good thermal stability, the presence of mycotoxins in foods and feeds is potentially hazardous to the health of both humans and animals. Mycotoxins may cause damage to e.g. liver, kidney or the nervous system, some are even carcinogenic. There is growing concern for ways in which these fungi and their mycotoxins can be prevented from entering the human and animal food chain. And worldwide changes in legislation ever increase the need for more precise and sensitive mycotoxin analytical methods.

Mycotoxins and phycotoxins: Advances in determination, toxicology and exposure management
Authors: Edited by: Henry Njapeu, Socrates Trujillo, Hans van Egmond and Douglas Park
This book contains selected peer-reviewed papers of the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) symposium “Mycotoxins and phycotoxins”. These symposia are the principal international interdisciplinary conventions focusing on occurrence, advances in determination, toxicology and exposure management of these bio-contaminants.

Natural Antioxidants in Avian Nutrition and Reproduction
Authors: Peter Surai
In recent years, research on natural antioxidants has been developing very quickly. However, this development has been almost exclusively associated with medical sciences in relation to human health. In this respect, the roles of natural antioxidants in animal nutrition in general and in avian nutrition and reproduction in particular need further understanding. Therefore, information provided in this book will be of practical importance to poultry producers and avian scientists, as well as for students of agricultural colleges and universities.

Nutrition and Feeding of Poultry
Authors: From Larbier and Leclercq's: Nutrition et Alimentation des Volailles Translated and edited by J Wiseman
This comprehensive work is both a scientific synthesis and practical manual. Students will find discussions of physiological functions based on nutrition, as well as the principal mechanisms of metabolic control. Practitioners will have important information available, allowing them to formulate diets or make decisions based on the management of the unit. To improve understanding of the text, extensive use has been made of diagrams, figures and tables of data.

Nutrition of Sows and Boars
Authors: W.H Close and D.J.A Cole
The central role of nutrition in the reproduction of farm animals has long been recognised. In the last two decades there have been considerable advances in our knowledge of sow and boar nutrition which has allowed the development of effective feeding strategies. Such progress will continue in order to meet the demands of ever-increasing product targets.
