Four wheat-based diets with either a low soluble content of non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs, 13 g/kg); viscosity, LV) or high NSPs (33.5 g/kg; HV), and without exogenous xylanase (XYL), were fed to male Ross 308 broiler chickens from 7 21 days age. The enzyme was supplemented at 100 FXU/kg diet, its preparation based on endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Aspergillus oryzae. Each diet eight pens, five birds in each pen, following randomisation. Chicks XYL had an improved feed efficiency,...

1. This study assessed the impact of replacing two thirds a soybean meal (SBM) based diet with an alternative protein (AP) (sunflower and rapeseed meal), when fed to end production Hy-Line Brown laying hens.2.

Measured variables included bird performance, egg production, quality fresh eggs, total tract digestibility dry matter (DMD), neutral detergent fibre (NDFD), fat (FD), nitrogen corrected apparent...

The production of soybean meal (SBM) has a substantial impact on the environment and reducing its inclusion in poultry diets by using alternative protein sources, such as insect meal, is an important challenge for nutritionists. This study aimed to compare productive performance broiler chickens fed one two isonitrogenic (195 g/kg CP) isocaloric (12.91 MJ/kg) diets. first diet contained SBM main source, whereas was completely replaced defatted from Black Soldier Fly larvae (Hermetia illucens...
