Wild ungulate populations are increasing in Europe and Italy, with a consequent increase culling rates availability of their meats. Objectives this review were to evaluate the trends meat from wild ungulates present knowledge on nutritional properties, sensorial characteristics, hygiene problems examine critical steps that influence quality. Italy derives mainly boar, roe deer red its has been last decade. Total consumption is low (0.1-0.3 kg per capita/year), but some regions rises...
In a market undergoing constant evolution, the production of chicken meat that consumers would perceive as "natural" and "animal friendly" is crucial. The use probiotics in rurally reared chickens could represent major opportunity to achieve mutual benefit for both industry consumers. A total 264 male Kabir chicks were randomly distributed one 2 dietary treatments: L group received commercial feed supplemented with 2.0 g/100 kg Lactobacillus acidophilus D2/CSL, while C same basal diet...
The current study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bacillus subtilis, used as probiotics, on microflora, morphology, morphometry gut in organic laying hens. birds (180 Hy-Line hens) were divided into 3 homogenous groups received a pre-deposition diet from 16 to 20 wk age deposition for remaining 7 months experiment. control group (CTR) was fed corn-soybean cake-based diet, second (L) same supplemented with 0.1% L. while third (B) basal 0.05% B. subtilis. At 18 (T1)...
A study was carried out to determine the quality characteristics, antioxidant capacity, oxidative status, and consumer acceptability of chicken meat after dietary administration a semi-solid olive cake, known as “paté” (pOC), in broilers. pOC is an oil industry waste rich bioactive compounds, such polyphenols, obtained by mechanical extraction from destoned olives. Two hundred ninety-seven 22-day-old fast growing (Ross 308) female chicks were randomly assigned three experimental...
Summary The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects two different probiotic micro‐organisms on performance, egg quality and blood parameters organically reared hens. A total 900 16‐week‐old Hy‐Line layer hybrids were randomly assigned three groups 300 birds each. control ( CTR ) group fed a corn–soya bean cake‐based diet; L same diet supplemented with 0.1% Lactobacillus acidophilus , while B 0.05% Bacillus subtilis . Data recorded at beginning (weeks 5 6: T1) end 19 20: T2)...
A 57-day study was performed to determine the effects of two aqueous extracts (AEs) on broiler performance, immune function and intestinal microflora. Four groups 75 one-day-old female broilers (Ross308) received one following treatments: (1) a standard commercial feed (C); (2) C supplemented with 2 g/kg rosemary AE (R); (3) oregano (O); (4) 1 + (OR). Individual body weight, average daily gain, intake conversion efficiency were determined at 1, 11, 22, 36 57 days. Sample collections for IgG...
Abstract The aim of this work was to study the effect rosemary leaf dietary supplementation on antioxidant activities and total phenolic content Pecorino cheese. Three hundred twenty-four sheep were randomly assigned two groups, which received a standard diet based lucerne hay concentrate (400 g per day). supplemented group contained 2.50% dried leaves. trial lasted 7 weeks. Cheesemaking performed 3, 5 weeks from start trial. cheese activity modified by diet. Rosemary increased content,...
The effects of increasing concentrations oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis essentials oil (EO) on ruminal gas emissions were tested in vitro using 50 mL serum bottles. Each bottle contained a 200 mg substrate (alfalfa hay corn meal 1:1) 20 solution composed buffered medium rumen fluid (1:2). percentage fermentation products was quantified by an infrared analyzer. reduction total production 6% 9% respectively when the 1.5 2.0 g/L EO measurements. methane 55%,...
Rumen microbiome has a great influence on ruminant health and productivity. Different plant extracts have been tested for their ability to modulate the rumen improve feed digestion fermentation. Among evaluated extracts, essential oils, tannins, saponins appeared positive effects protein metabolism, volatile fatty acids production, methane ammonia production. The objective of this study was evaluate effect rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) leaves oils microbial populations. Four ruminally...
In poultry production, probiotics have shown promise to limit campylobacteriosis at the farm level, most commonly reported zoonosis in Europe. The aim of this trial was evaluate effects Saccharomyces supplementation Campylobacter jejuni challenged chickens on performance and intestinal ecosystem. A total 156 day old male Ross 308 chicks were assigned a basal control diet (C) or cerevisiae boulardii CNCM I-1079 supplemented (S). All birds orally with C. (d) 21. Live weight growth evaluated...
