Feeding Laboratory Mice: Comparing a Standard Versus a Purified Diet – Marked Effects on Digestive Physiology

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diet composition and processing have a major impact on its utilisation by the animal, as is known from farm and pet animal species. This includes effects on energy and nutrient digestibility, the intermediary metabolism, and the intestinal microbiome, with all the resulting impacts. For laboratory animals, data is scarce on influencing factors

Effect of Microbial Phytase Addition at Different Ratios to Quail Rations on Performance Parameters and Some Carcass Values [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science
In this study, the effects of adding phytase to quail diets at different rates on performance parameters, carcass parameters, and liver, intestinal cells, and intestinal villi lengths were investigated.

Evaluation of Torula Yeast (Candida utilis) Single Cell Proteins as a Partial Replacement for Soybean Meal in Broiler Diets: Effects on Productive Performance, Meat Quality Traits, and Plasma Metabolome

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact.

Evaluating 20% and 40% Inclusion of Sugary Former Foods in Pig Diets: Effects on Growth Performance, Feeding Behaviour, Carcass and Meat Quality Traits

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Former food products (FFP) are food industry leftovers that can be used as feed ingredients. We investigated the effects of sugary FFP on growth, feeding behaviour, carcass and meat quality of pigs fattened to a heavy weight. Three inclusion levels were tested: 0% (FFP‐0 = control), 20% (FFP‐20) and 40% (FFP‐40) FFP in grower (20–60 kg BW ...

Guanidinoacetic Acid Improves Growth Performance and Gut Health of Broilers Fed Metabolizable Energy‐Reduced Diets

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) supplementation to diets with different energy levels on growth performance, carcass traits, and gut health status in broiler chickens. A total of 9500 1‐day‐old Ross 308 broilers (equal numbers of males and females) were allocated to 1 of 5 dietary treatments (10 ...

Effect of increasing levels of phytase on performance, prececal nutrient digestibility, intestinal mucosa physiology and immune response in broiler chickens from 1 to 21 days of age

Poultry Science
Phytic acid is the primary storage form of phosphorus (P) in plants and broiler chickens have a limited capability for its utilization. The supplementation of exogenous phytase in feed enables broilers to use the phytate-bound P.

Effect of microbial phytase on apparent digestibility and retention of phosphorus and nitrogen in growing pigs

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2006
Six female pigs of approximately 50 kg BW, fitted with simple T-cannula in the terminal ileum, were used to study the effect of microbial phytase on apparent total tract digestibility and retention of P and N.

Global Poultry Feed Protein Sources: Trends, Challenges, and Sustainability Perspectives Using FAOSTAT Data

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global poultry industry is one of the fastest‐growing livestock sectors, with worldwide chicken stocks exceeding 32 billion heads and meat production surpassing 144 million tonnes in 2024 (FAOSTAT, 2026). Conventional protein sources, particularly soybean meal (SBM) and fishmeal, underpin most commercial poultry diets but face mounting ...

Research Note: Evaluation of phytic acid disappearance, ileal P digestibility, and total tract P retention in canola meal supplemented with increasing levels of exogenous phytase using conventional and cecectomized precision-fed roosters and growing chicks

Poultry Science
: Apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of P, apparent total tract retention (ATTR) of P, and phytic acid disappearance in canola meal were evaluated in the presence of increasing levels of exogenous phytase.

Unveiling contrasting iron efficiency strategies in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes under iron deficiency

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Common bean genotypes differ in their iron acquisition through distinct Strategy I responses and root exudation patterns. Abstract Iron (Fe) deficiency in food crops, particularly on calcareous soils, limits productivity and human nutrition. This study investigated two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, Guaymí (high Fe‐accumulating, HI) and ...
