The Optimal Valine to Lysine Ratio for Performance Parameters in Weaned Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-04-27)
The optimal digestible (d) Valine (Val) to d Lysine (Lys) ratio (dVal:dLys) in weaned
piglets was determined using two different regression models. A total of 200 piglets were allotted to
five feeding ...
Impact of feed additives and host-related factors on bacterial metabolites, mucosal integrity and immune response in the ileum of broilers
(Springer, 2023-05-09)
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of age, breed, and sex of broilers, as well as a probiotic or phytobiotic product on mucosal morphology, bacterial metabolites, and immune traits in the ...
Alterations in bacterial metabolites, cytokines, and mucosal integrity in the caecum of broilers caused by feed additives and host-related factors
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09-12)
A 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), ...
A New Biosynthetic 6-Phytase Added at 500 Phytase Unit/kg Diet Improves Growth Performance, Bone Mineralization, and Nutrient Digestibility and Retention in Weaned Piglets and Growing–Finishing Pigs
(MDPI, 2024-06-03)
Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of a biosynthetic 6-phytase added at
500 phytase unit (FTU)/kg diet on growth performance, bone mineralization, and nutrient digestibility and ...
Selection of reference samples for updating multivariate calibration models used in the analysis of pig faeces
(Elsevier, 2022-12-30)
Monitoring and updating calibration models are common tasks when analytical methods are based on nearinfrared spectroscopy. This work describes a situation in which a PLS calibration model that is used ...
Novel strategies to improve chicken performance and welfare by unveiling host-microbiota interactions through hologenomics
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09-06)
Fast optimisation of farming practices is essential to meet environmental sustainability challenges. Hologenomics, the joint study of the genomic features of animals and the microbial communities ...
Effects of added phytase on growth performance, carcass traits, and tibia ash of broiler chickens fed diets with reduced amino acid, crude protein, and phosphorus concentration
(Elsevier, 2022-03-31)
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of phytase supplementation in diets reduced in amino acids (AA), crude protein (CP), and phosphorus (P) on growth performance, carcass traits, and ...
A Novel Bacterial 6-Phytase Improves Growth Performance, Tibia Mineralization and Precaecal Digestibility of Phosphorus in Broilers: Data from Four Independent Performance Trials
(MDPI, 2023-07-27)
A series of four broiler performance studies were conducted in different facilities to investigate the efficacy of a novel bacterial 6-phytase added at 500 FTU/kg diet on growth performance,
bone ...
Fish oil rich in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in sow diets modifies oxylipins and immune indicators in colostrum and milk
(Elsevier, 2021-11-15)
Colostrum and milk are the first nutrient sources for newborn piglets. In addition, n-3 fatty acids (FAs) and their oxygenated derivatives (oxylipins) have the capacity to modulate immune components. ...
Use of visible-near infrared spectroscopy to predict nutrient composition of poultry excreta
(Elsevier, 2021-11-25)
Nowadays optimal feed formulation for poultry is sought for available content, which takes into account how the nutrients are digested and metabolized by the animal. The digestibility coefficients of ...
