Alterations in bacterial metabolites, cytokines, and mucosal integrity in the caecum of broilers caused by feed additives and host-related factors
Duangnumsawang, Yada; Zentek, Jürgen; Vahjen, Wilfried; Tarradas, Joan; Boroojeni, Farshad Goodarzi (Frontiers in Physiology, 2022-09-12) Nutrició AnimalA total of 2,880 one-day-old male and female broiler chicks from two breeds, Ross308 and Cobb500 were randomly assigned to 72 pens. Broilers were offered three diets: a wheat-soybean diet without (CO), ... -
Effects of Exogenous 6-Phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) Supplementation on Performance, Calcium and Phosphorous Digestibility, and Bone Mineralisation and Density in Weaned Piglets
Tous, Núria; Tarradas, Joan; Francesch, Maria; Font-i-Furnols, Maria; Ader, Peter; Torrallardona, David (Animals, 2021-06-15) Nutrició Animal; Qualitat i Tecnologia AlimentàriaPhosphorus (P) is an essential mineral for growing piglets, which is poorly accessible in vegetable feedstuffs as it is stored as phytates. Thus, phytase supplementation is essential to increase P ... -
