The effects of dietary β-glucan supplementation on performance and immune response of broiler chicks during an Eimeria challenge
… on growth performance and immune response of broiler chickens. Day-old chicks were fed a diet containing 0, 0.02, or 0.1% yeast β-glucan. On days 7 and 14 post-hatch, body weight and relative immune organ weights were measured, peripheral blood was collected to determine heterophil to …

In ovo supplementation of Primalac and the effects on performance and immune response of broilers
… effects of in ovo administration of Primalac in broilers. The objective of the first study was to determine the effects of administering probiotics in ovo on hatchability, post-hatch performance and expression of immune-related genes in the ileum and cecal tonsils. On embryonic day 18, 360 eggs …

Effects of Incubation Temperature and Transportation Stress on Yolk Utilization, Small Intestine Development, and Post-Hatch Performance of High-Yield Broiler Chicks
Growth and performance parameters of broiler chicks depend on adequate development of the small intestine. Stressors such as elevated or decreased temperatures during incubation and post-hatch transportation may have an effect on the gastrointestinal development of the broiler chick. The objective …

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 raw and extruded RSH and WSH grains in broiler chick diets by evaluating weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency, and 4) compare the raw and extruded RSH and WSH grains on total tract nutrient and energy digestibility by pigs. In our first aim, we determined that inclusion of 30% …

Phosphorus bioavailability and digestibility in soybean meal, spray dried plasma protein and meat and bone meal determined by different methods in poultry
… such as MBM. Experiment 4 was a precision-fed broiler chick assay conducted to determine ileal P digestibility for SBM, MBM and SDPP. Ileal P digestibility of SBM, MBM, and SDPP was 64, 42, and 94%, respectively. Experiment 5 was an ad libitum fed chick assay conducted to determine ileal P …

Satiety induced by neuropeptide FF and gastrin in birds
… In a second study, gastrin was ICV injected into broiler chicks and decreased food intake at a dose of 500 ng (0.12 nmol). There was increased c-Fos immunoreactivity in the lateral hypothalamus (LH), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), arcuate nucleus, nucleus of the solitary tract, and area postrema …

Nutritional evaluation of novel ethanol co-products for poultry
… 84.9% respectively. In addition, a three-week broiler chick assay was conducted with increasing levels of dietary Glutenol™. Diet 1 was a standard corn/soybean meal diet with 0% Glutenol™. Diets 2, 3 and 4 had increasing levels of Glutenol™ at 4%, 8% and 12% respectively. As the level of …

Effect of particle size on nutritional value of soybean meal for poultry
… acid digestibility were determined using a 21 d broiler chick assay. Four corn-SBM diets that only differed in the mean particle size (466, 809, 1,174, or 1,577 μm) of the SBM were fed from 2-23 d of age. Weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, gizzard weight, AMEn, and excreta P retention …
