Moisture content in broiler excreta is influenced by excreta nutrient contents.
High litter moisture content, often referred to as wet litter, is a major problem in poultry production. Wet litter is often related to poor management, diseases, and digestive problems. In this experiment, the objective was to study the relationship between nutrient content and the moisture content of the excreta of broilers. A dataset containing 351 observations was built and contained the nu...
متن کاملEffect of different magnesium sources on digesta and excreta moisture content and production performance in broiler chickens.
Reducing litter moisture is an effective measure to reduce the incidence of footpad dermatitis. Dietary mineral levels affect intestinal conditions with regard to osmolarity and water reabsorption. Magnesium is often used as a laxative, preventing reabsorption of water from the digesta, and as a consequence, more moisture in the excreta. The objective of the current experiment was to evaluate M...
متن کاملThe lead content of human tissues and excreta.
THAT lead is normally excreted in human urine and faeces is now well established. The literature has been reviewed by Kehoe et al. [1933, 1, 2], who have carried out an exhaustive study of the excretion of lead by normal American adults and children. The occurrence of appreciable amounts of lead in "normal" human bones is also generally agreed upon, although there is considerable variation in t...
متن کاملEffects of Bacteriophage Supplementation on Egg Performance, Egg Quality, Excreta Microflora, and Moisture Content in Laying Hens
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of bacteriophage supplementation on egg performance, egg quality, excreta microflora, and moisture content in laying hens. A total of 288 Hy-line brown commercial laying hens (36-wk-old) were randomly allotted to 4 treatments in this 6-wk trial and dietary treatments included: i) CON, basal diet; ii) T1, CON+0.020% bacteriophage; iii) T2, CON+...
متن کاملEvaluation of free water and water activity measurements as functional alternatives to total moisture content in broiler excreta and litter samples.
Litter moisture contents vary greatly between and within practical poultry barns. The current experiment was designed to measure the effects of 8 different dietary characteristics on litter and excreta moisture content. Additionally, free water content and water activity of the excreta and litter were evaluated as additional quality measures. The dietary treatments consisted of nonstarch polysa...
