Liver Lipid Levels in White Leghorn Hens Fed Diets That Contained Wheat Contaminated by Deoxynivalenol (Vomitoxin)

Efficacy of contrast levels of non-phytate phosphorus and Aspergillus niger phytase in hens fed wheat-maize-based diets

A 2 × 2 factorial design experiment examined the effect of dietary non-phytate phosphorus (NPP) (1.3 and 4.0 g/kg) and 3-phytase (F) (0 and 150 FTU/kg) on the performance indicators of hens, physical parameters of eggs, phosphorus (P) content of the eggshells, and the pH of the digestive tract of laying hens. Two hundred and forty hens (ISA Brown) were housed in enriched cages and fed a wheat-m...

Embryotoxicity of 4-deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin) in mice.

Caecal Bacterial Concentrations in Turkey Hens Fed Corn or Wheat Based Diets With and Without Supple-

s of papers 17 of E. maxima at the gut level by measuring plasma carotenoid concentrations. Ionophore sensitivity profiles of eight E. maxima field strains were determined using the traditional evaluation of efficacy parameters, including: lesion scores, weight gain and feed conversion. The results demonstrated that Avatec-medicated, infected chickens had a significant (P<.05) improvement in ca...

Decline in deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin) concentrations in 1983 ontario winter wheat before harvest.

Samples of winter wheat were collected in 1983 from five fields in southwestern Ontario that were naturally infected with head blight. The geometric mean concentration of deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin) in the grain declined significantly from 1.56 mug/g on 7 July to 0.21 mug/g on 14 July and 0.11 mug/g on 18 July and did not increase at harvest (20 through 27 July).

Evaluation of nonfeed removal methods for molting programs.

An experiment was conducted using 336 White Leghorn hens (60 wk of age) randomly assigned to one of four treatments that consisted of feed removal for 4 or 10 d or no feed removal with ad libitum access to 95% corn or 95% wheat middlings molt diets that contained supplemental minerals and vitamins. At the end of the 4- or 10-d feed removal period, hens on these treatments were provided with the...
