Feed additives are substances, preparations, and microorganisms that are added to animal feed to enhance growth performance, feed intake, and feed utilization efficiency for sustainable and cost-effective livestock production. This book, Animal Feed Additives, provides up-to-date information on the use of various animal feed additives in relation to the health, reproduction, and production of livestock and poultry. It contains 25 chapters written by 30 distinguished scientists in the field of animal nutrition, covering topics such as antioxidants, enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, antimicrobials, organic acids, coccidiostats, mycotoxin binders, immunomodulators, hen egg antibody, hormones, beta agonists, methane inhibitors, defaunating agents, essential oils, and herbal feed additives.

This book is designed to provide clear and accurate information on feed additives, supported by experimental evidence and references, making it a useful resource for students and researchers in the field of animal sciences, as well as teachers, scientists, feed industry personnel, field veterinarians, animal husbandry extension workers, and progressive animal farmers.
