The objective of this study was to compare fatty acid weight percentages and cholesterol concentrations longissimus dorsi (LD), semitendinosus (ST), supraspinatus (SS) muscles (n = 10 for each) range bison (31 mo age), feedlot-finished (18 beef cows (4 7 yr feedlot steers free-ranging cow elk (3 5 chicken breast. Lipids were analyzed by capillary GLC. Total saturated acids (SFA) greater (P < 0.01) in than SS cattle steers. Muscles similar > 0.05) SAT. In LD, polyunsaturated (PUFA) highest...
The effects of dietary supplementation in pigs with plant extract (PE) from Lippia spp., titrated verbascoside (5mg/kg feed), weaning to slaughter (166days), on carcass characteristics, meat quality, collagen oxidative stability and sensory attributes Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle were examined. Ten per treatment at a live weight 109.5±1.4kg. No influence LD quality parameters characteristics observed. Dietary PE increased (P<0.001) α-tocopherol levels muscle. Raw pig fed showed lower lipid...
In the post-antibiotics era, prebiotics are proposed as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry production. The goal of this study was compare ovo method prebiotic delivery with in-water supplementation and both methods combined (in ovo+in-water) broiler chickens. Two trials were conducted. Trial 1 carried out optimize doses two prebiotics, DN (DiNovo®, extract beta-glucans) BI (Bi2tos, trans-galactooligosaccharides), for delivery. estimated parameters hatchability...
The purpose of the study was to examine effect 2 prebiotics and synbiotics on digestive potency pancreas in 1-, 3-, 7-, 14-, 21-, 34-day-old cockerels. Prebiotics (inulin Bi2 tos) + Lactococcus lactis subsp. tos cremoris) were injected ovo into air cell 12th d embryonic development. Their application increased activity amylase, lipase, trypsin pancreas. most pronounced changes observed at end investigated rearing period (d 34). strongest stimulative effects amylase shown by both synbiotics,...
The aim of the experiment was to assess effects 2 dietary levels trace minerals (TM) zinc, manganese, and copper either from organic (OTM) or inorganic (ITM) sources on broiler performance, carcass traits, intramuscular collagen (IMC) properties, occurrence hock burns (HB), foot pad dermatitis (FPD), femoral tibia head necrosis, breast muscle abnormalities (white striping, WS; wooden breast, WB; poor cohesion, PC). A total 3,600 one-day-old male chicks were randomly assigned one 4 treatments...
Intestinal mucosa is the interface between microbial content of gut and host's milieu. The goal this study was to modulate chicken intestinal microflora by in ovo stimulation with galactooligosaccharides (GOS) prebiotic demonstrate molecular responses host. animal trial performed on meat-type chickens (Ross 308). GOS delivered injection into air cell day 12 egg incubation. Analysis communities mucosal gene expression at slaughter (day 42 post-hatching). Chyme (for DNA isolation) RNA from...
A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of in ovo injection prebiotic and synbiotics on growth performance, meat quality traits (cholesterol content, intramuscular collagen properties, fiber measurements), presence histopathological changes pectoral muscle (PS) broiler chickens. On d 12 incubation, 480 eggs were randomly divided into 5 experimental groups treated with different bioactives, injected: C, control physiological saline; T1 1.9 mg raffinose family oligosaccharides; T2 T3...
Probiosis is considered a potential strategy to reduce antibiotics use and prevent post-weaning diarrhea (PWD). This study investigated the effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM25840 or subtilis DSM25841 supplementation on growth, health, immunity, intestinal functionality microbial profile pigs after enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) F4 challenge.Sixty-four piglets (7748 g ± 643 g) were randomly allocated four groups: control basal diet (CO); CO + 1.28 × 106 CFU/g B. (BAA); feed (BAS); 1...
Elimination of antibiotic growth promoters from poultry production has encouraged intensive search for relevant alternatives. Prebiotics are proposed as efficient replacements to stimulate colonization/expansion beneficial microflora in chickens. The aim this study was deepen the knowledge on effect prebiotic administration slaughter performance and meat quality traits broiler chickens by evaluating different routes their delivery (in ovo vs. in-water + in-water). At d 12 incubation, 1,500...
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) delivered in ovo improve intestinal health of broiler chickens. This study aimed to demonstrate the impact stimulation with GOS prebiotic on day 12 egg incubation performance and welfare traits The incubating eggs were divided into 3 groups, based substance injected ovo: 3.5 mg dissolved 0.2 mL physiological saline (GOS), (S), or uninjected controls (C). Constant heat stress (HS) was induced days 32 42 post-hatch by increasing environmental temperature 30°C....
A study was carried out to evaluate meat quality traits in fast-growing chickens stimulated ovo with trans-galactoolighosaccarides (GOS) and exposed heat stress. On day 12 of egg incubation, 3,000 fertilized eggs (Ross 308) were divided into prebiotic group injected 3.5 mg GOS/egg, saline (S) physiological saline, control (C) uninjected. After hatching, 900 male chicks (300 chicks/treatment) reared floor pens either thermoneutral (TN; 6 pens/group, 25 birds/pen) or stress conditions (HS,...
The current research was conducted to compare growth, carcass traits, pH, intramuscular collagen (IMC) properties, and genetic bases of IMC carcasses (breast-muscle weight) different lines generations adult males females Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Forty-four quails (generation F0), 22 Pharaoh (F-33) meat-type Standard (S-22) laying-type females, were crossed produce the F1 hybrids generation. F2 generation created by mating one male with female, full siblings. birds, randomly chosen...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect in ovo injection 2 different prebiotics, DiNovo (DN; Laminaria spp., extract containing laminarin and fucoidan) Bi
The effect of the in ovo application selected prebiotics and synbiotics on humoral immune response against T-dependent (SRBC) T-independent (dextran) antigens delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) to phytohemagglutinin was studied. On 12th day incubation, 800 eggs (Ross 308) were divided into five groups injected egg air chamber with prebiotic inulin (Pre1), Bi2tos (Pre2), a synbiotic composed Lactococcus lactis subsp. IBB SL1 (Syn1), L. cremoris SC1 (Syn2), physiological saline (control...
