Improving the Nutritive Value of Poultry Feedstuffs: the Rapeseed Products Example
نویسنده
چکیده
Commercial brown-egg layers have the genetic potential to produce 26.5 kg egg mass per hen housed (405 eggs with 65.5 g average weight) in a prolonged laying period of 16 months, with a feed conversion ratio of 2.1 kg feed per kg egg mass (Lohmann Tierzucht, 2011). Rapid growing broilers reach market weight of 2.1 kg live weight in 5 weeks, with a feed conversion of 1.6 kg feed per kg live weight gain (ROSS, 2012). The genetic potential to convert feed nutrients efficiently into eggs and poultry meat (broiler, turkey, duck) for human consumption can only be fully utilized if the birds are well managed, remain healthy and receive highly digestible, concentrated and well balanced feed rations (Jeroch et al., 2013). The challenge for commercial feed formulation is to optimize feed composition from a reduced choice of raw materials, limited inclusion rates and special attention to anti-nutritive substances.

Both plant and animal ingredients are used commonly to formulate balanced diets for poultry. Although many changes have been occurred in the genetics, nutrition and feeding of modern meat chickens, free selection and indiscriminate uses of feedstuffs for the non-ruminant animal diets can be hazardous due to the emerging threat of diseases outbreak via animal by-products. Besides this, many othe...

The present study was aimed at determining rumen phosphorus availability of some feedstuffs assessed with the nylon bag technique: forage (alfalfa), cereals (control-C wheat, formaldehyde treated-FT wheat, barley, corn), cereal by-products (wheat bran, wheat distillers, corn distillers) and meals (C and FT soya bean meals, rapeseed meals and sunflower meals). Rumen phosphorus availability was n...

However, it is also becoming clear that the require...
متن کاملNutritive Value of Some Agro-Industrial By-products for Ruminants - A Review
Dumping or burning wastes or agro-industrial by-products present potential air and water pollution problems. High-moisture wastes are also difficult to burn. Many by-products have a substantial potential value as animal feedstuffs. Ruminants, especially, have the unique capacity to utilize fibre, because of their rumen microbes. This means that cereals can be largely replaced by these by-produc...
