Utilization of Hydrolyzed Sucrose Polyester (Olestra) in Broiler Diets

Sucrose polyester in human volunteers.

The recent publication by Kelly et al. (1998) of their study on sucrose polyesters (SPE) raised concerns about the possible gastrointestinal (GI) and nutritional effects of olestra. These concerns were echoed in the popular press (‘Doubts raised over anti-obesity fat substitute’. The Times, 11 August 1998.). Olestra’s potential to cause GI and nutritional effects has been carefully reviewed by ...

Hydrolyzed protein diets for dogs and cats.

The primary aim of a hydrolyzed protein diet is to disrupt the proteins within the diet sufficiently to remove existing allergens. Published assessment of hydrolyzed protein diets includes physiochemical and immunologic assays as well as nutritional and clinical feeding trials. Potential problems include poor palatability, hypoosmotic diarrhea, and a reduced nutritional value, although persiste...

Hydrolyzed porcine mucosa in broiler diets: effects on growth performance, nutrient retention, and histomorphology of the small intestine.

The effect of including hydrolyzed porcine mucosa sprayed into soybean meal (HPM) in the diet was studied in broilers. In experiment 1 (pen study), 1,080 one-day-old chicks were used in a completely randomized design with 8 treatments arranged as a 4 × 2 factorial with 4 levels of HPM (0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5%) and 2 levels of Lys (1.23 and 1.38%). From d 1 to 22, HPM inclusion quadratically impro...

Utilization of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) in Broiler Diets Using a Standardized Nutrient Matrix

An experiment was conducted to evaluate different levels of “new generation” distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in broiler diets throughout a 49 d growing period, based a standardized nutrient matrix derived from a composite of literature values. Diets were formulated based on digestible amino acid content to typical U.S. poultry industry standards to contain 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25% ...
