Fatty Acid Digestibility in Laying Hens Fed Yeast Culture

Phytase effects on amino acid digestibility in molted laying hens.

Two hundred sixteen previously molted Dekalb Delta Leghorn laying hens (78 wk of age) were utilized to determine the effect of phytase on the ileal digestibility of amino acids. The hens were randomly arranged in a 3 x 2 factorial to evaluate three diet types that were corn-soybean meal (C-SBM), C-SBM-meat and bone meal (C-SBM-MBM), and C-SBM-wheat middlings (C-SBM-WM) and two levels of phytase...

Nutrient digestibility and mass balance in laying hens fed a commercial or acidifying diet.

The objectives of the current study were to evaluate the effect of an acidifying diet (gypsum) combined with zeolite and slightly reduced crude protein (R) vs. a control diet (C) on nutrient retention in laying hens and compare 3 approaches to estimating nutrient excretion from hens: 1) mass balance calculation (feed nutrients - egg nutrient), 2) use of an indigestible marker with analyzed feed...

Reesponse of laying hens fed on different dietary sulphur amino acid supplemented with maize oil

Response of laying hens to supplementation with various fatty acids when fed diets inadequate in protein and sulphur amino acids

Effects of a nanostructure of phytic acid absorber on the performance and protein digestibility in laying hens

A ten-week experiment was conducted to study the effect of a nanostructure of phytic acid absorber (NPAA) on the performance and protein digestibility in laying hens. A total of 100 Bovans laying hens were randomly assigned to 5 treatments, with 4 replicates, 5 hens each. The experiment was a completely randomized design with 5 levels of NPAA; including zero (T1, as a basal diet (BD)); T2 (BD+ ...
