Animal feed comprises the food materials provided to livestock, poultry, aquaculture species, and companion animals to supply energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients required for growth, reproduction, and health. Feed formulation seeks to balance nutritional adequacy, digestibility, palatability, safety, and economic cost, and may incorporate forages, grains, by-products, enzymes, probiotics, and supplements. Feed quality and safety are central to veterinary and public health, since contaminants such as mycotoxins can compromise animal performance and enter the food chain. Research relevant to this venue addresses feed composition, supplementation, growth performance, and feed safety across species. Studies include the public-health effects of aflatoxins in milk and milk-based foodstuffs, the effect of soaked pigeon-pea seeds on growth and feed-utilization efficiency in Nile tilapia fingerlings, phytase-supplemented palm kernel cake and its impact on poultry growth, feed efficiency, and economic viability, characterization of a novel glucanase and xylanase relevant to feed enzymes, and the effect of graded levels of microalgae on feed intake and digestibility. Related work examines pasture grazing, body condition, and dietary mineral metabolism in animals. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research relevant to animal nutrition, feed safety, and the productivity and health of managed animals.
