| Özet |
| In recent years, the search for alternative feed resources has increased, primarily due to the rise in the prices of protein materials. Spray-dried plasma (SDP) has emerged as a valuable feed additive for broiler production, serving as a natural and effective alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. SDP is a rich source of nutritious substances and has peptides, amino acids, immunoglobulin, albumin, fibrinogen, lipids, growth factors, enzymes, and other components that have specific biological activities. These bioactive compounds enhance growth performance, immune status, and gut health of broiler chickens. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion on the structure, safety of production, and mechanisms of action of the SDP, with a particular emphasis on its effects under both normal and challenging conditions in broiler chickens. Recent studies have suggested that supplementing broiler diets with SDP at lower dosages over extended periods promotes nutrient digestibility, gut integrity, modulation of inflammatory responses, and reduction in oxidative stress, thereby improving feed conversion ratio (FCR) and overall well-being of broilers. Moreover, the effects of SDP on broilers were more pronounced under challenging conditions than under normal production conditions. Additionally, this chapter evaluates the efficacy of SDP in addressing various production and microbial challenges, establishing it as a biosafe and sustainable component of poultry nutrition. |
