Corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) contains high crude fat and is reported to confer to PUFA some degree of protection from ruminal biohydrogenation (BH). There is also indication that inclusion in diets of high energy feed such as DDGS results in a reduced response to monensin in feedlot cattle. This study was conducted to determine the effects of increasing corn DDGS inclusion ...

Two experiments were conducted to study the effect of adding soy-lecithin or xylanase low-energy diet on broilers growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal lipase enzyme activity and economical efficiency. A total number 256 unsexed Cobb500 broiler chicks, a day old, classified into two equal experiments, 128 chicks each (4 treatments × 4 replicates 8chicks). In experiment, divided...

Accepted: 02/03/2015 Abstract Polysaccharides are macromolecules of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Polysaccharides are widespread biopolymers, which quantitatively represent the most important group of nutrients in feed. These are major components of plant materials used in rations for monogastrics. Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) contain ß-glucans, cellulose, pectin and hemicellu...

Abstract This study was designed to evaluate the effects of açaí seed (AS) as a fiber source on intake, digestibility, and ruminal fermentation parameters beef cattle fed high concentrate diet. Five rumen-fistulated Zebu bulls were used in 5x5 Latin-square design. Treatments consisted five diets with different inclusion rates AS: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20% diet dry matter (DM). The total mixed ration co...

Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of lupin particle size on amino acid (AA) and energy digestibility and fermentation characteristics in pigs. Expt 1 examined the effects of lupin variety (cv. Tanjil and Mandelup) and lupin particle size (746, 888, 1099 and 1136 mum) on the total-tract apparent digestibility of dietary components in 63.5 (sd 7.28) kg pigs. While variety had ...

The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of apple pulp on weight and composition of faeces. This material is rich in dietary fibre (DF; 620 g dry matter/kg) and contains appreciable amounts of polyphenols. Recent reports indicate that both condensed tannins (CT) and soluble polyphenols form cross-links with protein and inhibit digestive enzymes, affecting the protein digestibility...

The effects of prebiotics on digestibility, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations and bacterial populations in the faeces and immunity in dogs were evaluated by meta-analyses. Overall, data from 15 published studies containing 65 different treatment means of 418 observations from different breeds of dogs were included in the data set. Feeding of prebiotics to dogs did not affect the nutr...

Fat digestion and metabolism differ widely between animal species. In ruminants, dietary fats are hydrogenated in the rumen before intestinal absorption so that absorbed fatty acids (FA) are more saturated than dietary FA. In non-ruminants, intestinal FA digestibility depends on the level of saturation of dietary FA. Fat supplementation of the diet of cows decreases milk protein and has a varia...

Abstract. Research objective was to study the intestinal microbiocenosis in broiler chickens. Laboratory test conducted at and Development Center for Agriculture of North-Western Branch Tyumen SB RAS. Methods. Cobb 500 chickens breed used. The main part experiment began age 14 days. By this time, had reached an average body weight 365 grams. control group fed basic diet, consisting total mixed ...
