There is a distinct possibility that phytate negatively influences protein and energy utilisation in poultry and, as these influences would be ameliorated by phytase, there are substantial, practical implications. Despite several thousand scientific papers and a rapidly growing market the use of phytase and the importance of phytate in practical poultry nutrition remains an area of some confusi...

a study was conducted to determine the effects of diet formulation on arian broiler breeder performance in their 50 to 64 wks of age. one hundred and sixty eight female and 24 male breeders were employed in 8 treatments of 3 replicates (7 females plus a male) in a completely randomized design (a factorial experience of 2 × 2 × 2). eight experimental diets were formulated based on three factors,...

Efficacy of using Diets Formulated on the Base Total and Digestible Amino Acids, Soybean Canola Meals with without adding Multienzyme in Broilers

Analysis of digestible carbohydrate such as free sugars and starch are important components of foods like cereals. The objective of this study was to assess the digestible carbohydrates in different branded basmati rice and in other popular cereal samples of local markets of twin cities of Secunderabad and Hyderabad. In the study, we determined carbohydrates that are digestible in the human upp...

Diets containing different starch types affect peripheral glucose and insulin responses. However, the role of starch chemistry in kinetics of nutrient absorption and insulin and incretin secretion is poorly understood. Four portal vein-catheterized pigs (35.0 ± 0.2 kg body weight) consumed 4 diets containing 70% purified starch [0-63.2% amylose content and 0.22 (slowly) to 1.06%/min (rapidly) m...

The process of nutrient transfer through an ecosystem is an important determinant of production, food-chain length, and species diversity. The general view is that the rate and efficiency of nutrient transfer up the food chain is constrained by herbivore-specific capacity to secure N-rich compounds for survival and production. Using feeding trials with artificial food, we show, however, that ph...

An experiment was conducted to determine the digestible amino acids requirements of broilers based on different ideal amino acid ratios for male and female broiler chicks during finisher period. Experimental period began at day 29 and lasted in 42 d of age. A total of 720 male and female broiler chicks were equally distributed to 12 dietary treatments with 15 birds per pen and 4 pens per treatm...

Improving digestibility of roughage cell walls will improve ruminant animal performance and reduce loss of nutrients to the environment. The main digestibility impediment for dicotyledonous plants is highly lignified secondary cell walls, notably in stem secondary xylem, which become almost non-digestible. Digestibility of grasses is slowed severely by lignification of most tissues, but these c...
