A study was undertaken to examine the effects of inulin, alone or in combination with enzyme complex (primarily xylanase and beta-glucanase), on growth performance, ileal cecal microflora, short-chain fatty acids, d-lactic acid jejunal histomorphology broiler chickens fed a wheat- barley-based diet from 7 35 d age. total 240 seven-day-old male Cobb broilers were allocated 1 6 treatments, 8 replicate pens per treatment 5 birds pen. The experiment consisted 3x2 factorial arrangement treatments...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding inulin diets containing 2 different types fat as energy sources on performance, blood serum metabolites, liver lipids, and fatty acids abdominal adipose tissue breast thigh meat. total 240 one-day-old female broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 1 6 treatments with 8 replicates per treatment 5 pen. The experiment consisted a 3 x factorial arrangement including concentrations (0, 5, 10 g/kg diet) [palm oil (PO) sunflower (SO)] at an...

The objectives of the present study were to investigate effects inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) on growth performance, whole body fillet chemical composition intestinal microbiota rainbow trouts reared under fish farming conditions. Trouts fed inulin- or FOS-containing diets (5 10 g kg−1) exhibited significant (P = 0.030) weight gain improvements compared with controls. An increase in gross energy 0.044) Ca content 0.034) was observed for prebiotic treatments. A decrease crude...

1. A study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of inclusion linseed or demucilaged in diet on performance, fat and fatty acid digestibilities, metabolisability gross energy intestinal microflora. 2. The dietary inclusions were 80 160 g/kg for linseed. Diets given chickens from 1 23 d age. 3. Incorporation diet, particularly at g/kg, depressed weight gain food utilisation. Digestibility single acids metabolisable reduced. 4. Inclusion markedly increased viscosity ileal digesta. Microbial...

Abstract 1. Diets containing linseed at inclusions of 0, 80, 120 and 160 g/kg were evaluated for digestibility nutrients AME n content with male broiler chickens. 2. Increasing the concentration decreased retention nitrogen amino acids, crude fat fatty acids diets. 3. Dietary (MJ/kg) was also affected by rate inclusion linseed, values decreasing from 14.39 to 12.49. 4. In general, a linear regression model explained relationship between dietary nutritive parameters. However, quadratic...

Abstract 1. Diets containing a freeze‐dried tannin extract from faba beans (Vicia L.) at concentrations of 0, 8 and 16 g/kg were fed to growing chicks rats. 2. Chicks on the tannin‐containing diets exhibited high mortality significant decreases in body‐weight as well lower food intakes higher intake:weight gain ratios (P<0.01). In rats there was no but growth intake adversely affected (P< 0.05). 3. Histological changes occurred ileal mucosa chicks. Atrophy shortening villi with distortion...

1. A 5-week feeding trial with 240 one-day-old male broiler chickens was conducted to investigate the responses of performance, intestinal tract measurements, relative apparent retention minerals (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Cu), tibial bone measurements mineral content (ash Ca) dietary graded levels inulin. Treatments consisted a maize–soybean meal control diet without or supplemental antibiotic (flavomycin, 40 mg/kg diet) 4 diets containing inulin at concentrations 5, 10, 15 20 g/kg. 2. Growth...

1. A 35 d feeding trial with 480 d-old male broiler chickens (Cobb) was conducted to evaluate the effects of graded levels inulin (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 g/kg diet) in a maize-soybean meal based diet on growth performance, AME(N) apparent ileal digestibility (AID) crude protein, amino acids, starch, fat fatty acids. commercial product (Inulina 95) containing 9140 degree polymerisation (DP) ranging from DP 1-10 51-60 used. 2. The performance birds (feed intake, BW gain feed ratio) not affected...

1. In the first experiment, AME N of linseed was evaluated at rates 40, 80, 160 and 240 g/kg in a basal diet with broiler chickens aged 28 d using total collection method. 2. Increasing concentration decreased diet, from 11.78 to 8.75 MJ/kg DM, linseed, 16.64 -2.96 DM. The negative values clearly indicated that interacted other dietary ingredients impaired their energy utilisation. 3. second semipurified graded addition (80, 120, DM) for crude fat fatty acid apparent digestibilities....

Crude protein (CP) of forages can be separated into fractions differentiated abilities to provide available amino acids in the lower gut ruminants. This knowledge is critical develop feeding systems and predict animal responses. We have measured during two growing seasons (1996 1997 1998) CP common vetch fresh forage with objective being assess influence maturity on concentration (as a percentage total CP) fraction yields. Fraction B2, which represents true intermediate ruminal degradation...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of high-oleic acid sunflower seed (HOASS) in broiler diets. In first experiment, HOASS was included a basal diet at 80, 160, 240, and 320 g/kg expense energy-yielding ingredients, AMEn values experimental diets determined. The linear regression equation on rate inclusion calculated. Extrapolation value for 100% 4224 +/- 77 kcal/kg. second containing up 200 g HOASS/kg given broilers (Cobb) from 0 42 d, performance parameters, nutrient...

Abstract 1. Two experiments were carried out to study the effects of diets containing various concentrations pea meal (Pisum sativum L.), with or without flavomycin supplementation, on performance and intestinal microflora broiler chicks. 2. During 7 28‐d period, chicks fed 300, 600 800 g meal/kg consumed more food gained weight than receiving a maize‐isolated soyabean protein control diet. The addition had similar both groups. 3. Pea diets, supplemental flavomycin, little influence...
