Metabolizable Energy Values Determined With Intact and Cecectomized Roosters

Poultry Science, 2008
Mature White Leghorn roosters that were intact or cecectomized were used to determine the ME of a diet. Seven intact and 7 cecectomized roosters were fasted for 3 d, with total excreta collection on d 2 and 3. Approximately 1 wk after completion of the trial, the same roosters were force-fed 28 g of a diet that was 85% corn and 15% soybean meal after a

Comparison of the Sensitivities of Growth and Digestibility Studies Using Intact, Cecectomized, and Cannulated Roosters

Poultry Science, 1987
The sensitivity of several bioassays was determined using soybean meal and two autoclaved soybean meals. Chick growth study results revealed that a four percent difference in weight gain was sufficient to show statistical significance (P less than .05) between the diets.

Research Note: Influence of Microorganisms on the Lysine and Diaminopimelic Acid Values in the Excreta of Intact, Cecectomized, and Cannulated Roosters

Poultry Science, 1988
Abstract Microbial determinations were made on excreta obtained from intact, cecectomized, and ileal-cannulated roosters. Mean diaminopimelic acid (DAP) quantities in the excreta from intact and cecectomized birds did not differ significantly. The DAP value was greater in excreta from intact and cecectomized birds when they were fed 30 g of either ...

The Effects of Several Oligosaccharides on True Amino Acid Digestibility and True Metabolizable Energy in Cecectomized and Conventional Roosters

Poultry Science, 2007
Prebiotics, such as indigestible oligosaccharides, are considered to be possible dietary alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry. The effects of indigestible oligosaccharides on nutrient digestibility in poultry are largely unknown. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of several oligosaccharides on amino acid ...

Amino Acid Availability and True Metabolizable Energy Content of Corn Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles in Adult Cecectomized Roosters

Poultry Science, 2006
Five sources of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), which varied in darkness of color, were collected from several processing plants in the Midwestern United States. Sources of DDGS were analyzed for their amino acid and energy contents, measured for color score, and evaluated for TMEn, apparent amino acid digestibility, and true amino ...

Standardized Amino Acid Digestibility in Cecectomized Roosters and Lysine Bioavailability in Chicks Fed Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles

Poultry Science, 2009
This study was conducted to compare the concentration of standardized digestible (SDD) Lys and relative bioavailable Lys in 7 sources of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). A second objective was to evaluate 2 in vitro methods, reactive Lys and color score, to predict the concentration of SDD Lys and bioavailable Lys in DDGS.
