Sequential feeding with variations in energy and protein levels improves gait score in meat-type chickens.
Feeding broilers by alternating different diets for 1 or 2 days is known as sequential feeding, and it possibly reduces leg problems since it slows down early growth and may enhance general activity. The present study compared continuous feeding with a standard diet (C: metabolisable energy = 12.55 MJ/kg, crude protein = 190 g/kg) with alternations of a high-energy/low-protein diet (E+P-:+7% ME...
متن کاملSequential feeding with low- and high-lysine diets increases activity and improves gait score in broiler chickens
Preventing leg disorders in broilers, without changing their body weight at slaughter age and their rearing time is a challenge for poultry production. The method of prevention we studied consisted in alternating the distribution of different diets. This kind of diet schedule is called “sequential feeding”. The alternation of poorand rich-lysine diets was used in order to reduce early growth an...
متن کاملEffects of various energy and protein levels during sequential feeding on feed preferences in meat-type chickens.
Short-term feed preferences were studied in individually caged chickens fed sequentially in order to understand a previously described imbalance in the intake of diets offered. Sequential feeding (SF) was carried out for four 48 h cycles in male broiler chickens. The diets varied in energy (2800 (E-) and 3200 kcal/kg (E+)) and protein (230 (P+) and 150 g/kg (P-)) contents. SF was compared to st...
متن کاملGenetic Perspective of Ascites Syndrome in Meat-Type Chickens
Pulmonary hypertension syndrome (ascites) is a metabolic disorder in fast-growing broilers. Inconsistency of oxygen requirement and the cardiovascular ability make the birds susceptible to ascites. Incidence of ascites was accompanied by right ventricular hypertrophy, fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity and finally mortality. The objective of the current study was to review the genetic b...
متن کاملThe sequential feeding of growing chickens.
1. Male chickens, I week old, were fed alternately for 6 or 12 h periods with diets complementary in their amino acid composition. The isonitrogenous, isoenergetic diets were based on fish meal or sunflower meal as the sole source of protein, or fish meal-sunflower (40:60, w/w); each diet contained 120 g crude protein/kg. Other groups of chickens were given these diets ad lib. 2. Net protein ut...
