Research highlights of animal nutrion and feedstuffss in period 2016-2020 at Institute of Animal Sciences for Southern Vietnam
For pig farming, there are quite a few studies focusing on nutritional requirements, especially for amino acids, crude fiber, Ca, P ..., supplementation of DL, L-Methionene, organic minerals - vitamins, Biotin ... and adjust feed intake based on back fat and body condition score. For poultry, there are not many independent researches on nutrition and feed for poultry, but mainly combined experiments in the breeding research process. The experiments focused mainly on new breeds of chickens such as Noi Nam Bo chicken, Tre chicken and Ninh Hoa chicken. For the use of non-traditional feed, especially agricultural and herbal by-products, is an important direction in research of animal feed. In addition to taking advantage of available feed sources, limiting imports, contributing to stabilizing food security, the use of non-traditional feed also contributes to reducing environmental pollution and reducing the amount of antibiotic residues in food. For ruminants, studies focused mainly on diets, from dairy calves for meat to crossbred and purebred animals. In addition, a new technique has also been developed, which is the production of Fermented Total Mixed Ration (FTMR). Some researches go into the field of greenhouse gas emissions in ruminant husbandry to contribute to limiting climate change in parallel with intensive farming development.
