Anti-microbial resistance | The ability of a microorganism to resist the effects of an antimicrobial agent. |
Anti-microbial | Destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. |
Osmotic balance | It is a process of maintaining salt and water balance across membranes within the body's fluids. |
Bacteriocin | Bacteriocins are the toxins produced by bacteria to inhibit the growth of similar or closely related bacterial strains. |
Biohydrogenation | It is a process that occurs in the rumen of an animal in which bacteria convert unsaturated fatty acids (USFA) to saturated fatty acids (SFA). |
Oxidative rancidity | It is a reaction of fatty acids with oxygen, which generally causes unpleasant odors in animals. To prevent these, antioxidants were added. |
Mycotoxicosis | Any condition or disease caused by fungal toxins, mainly due to contamination of animal feed with mycotoxins. |
Mycotoxins | Mycotoxins are toxin compounds that are naturally produced by certain types of molds (fungi). |
Feed Probiotics | Microbial feed supplements positively affect gastrointestinal microbial balance. |
