Improving estimations of phosphorus bioavailability for lactating dairy cows
… phytase has been used successfully in swine and poultry nutrition, as a feed additive, to increase available P and reduce the need for supplemental inorganic P. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of phytase use and forage particle length, using a 2 x 2 factorial, on P …

Evaluation of Particle Size Differences, Calcium Sources, and Phytases on Ph and Calcium and Phosphorus Solubility in an in Vitro Simulation of Broiler Digestion
Broiler nutrition can be affected by many different factors, and diets can be made up of a wide variety of components. Feed enzymes, different Ca sources, and various ingredient particle sizes all contribute to broiler nutritional status and need to be investigated to determine their full effects …

ESTABLISHING IN VITRO INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL MODELS IN TRANSLATIONAL ANIMAL NUTRITION
… under (LPS) stress conditions underpinning pig nutrition, combining the state-of-the-art cell-based assays and bioinformatic analysis. The second part of our study was directed towards establishing a primary intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) culture from chicken embryos for the assessment of CPn …

Evaluation of red and white sorghum as alternative carbohydrate sources and the effects of extrusion in monogastric nutrition through the determination of macronutrient digestibility, fecal microbiota, digestible and metabolizable energy content
The pet food market follows human nutrition trends such as being gluten-free, non-genetically modified, and wheat-free. Additionally, alternative sources of grains and carbohydrates are needed to feed production animals, companion animals, and the growing human population. Sorghum bicolor is an …

Towards a Better Understanding of Poultry Intestinal Microbiome through Metagenomic and Microarray Studies
<p>The intestinal microbiome in poultry tracts functions as an interface between the host and the feed ingested and has important roles in nutrition and health of the host. This intestinal microbiome consisting of bacteria, archaea, fungi and few protozoa, with bacteria being the most abundant …

Water Consumption Behavior in Broilers
<p>A series of trials were conducted to analyze broiler water consumption behaviors under commercial conditions. The first trial was to quantify the number of broilers drinking at times of peak water demand. Birds were evaluated at time intervals of 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes from the start …

Evaluation of the nutritional values of seven insect meals for inclusion in poultry diets
… levels of TMEn and digestible amino acids for poultry. The last two experiments (7 and 8) conducted were chick assays. Experiment 7 aimed to determine ileal P digestibility and excreta P retention values for two BSFL samples (BSFL 1 and 3) and partially-defatted BSFL. Three dextrose-cornstarch …
