Problems on Lipids Used in Poultry Diet

Effect of poultry diet on phosphorus in runoff from soils amended with poultry manure and compost.

Phosphorus in runoff from fields where poultry litter is surface-applied is an environmental concern. We investigated the effect of adding phytase and reducing supplemental P in poultry diets and composting poultry manures, with and without Fe and Al amendments, on P in manures, composts, and runoff. We used four diets: normal (no phytase) with 0.4% supplemental P, normal + phytase, phytase + 0...

Inadequacy of methods, while undoubtedly responsible for some of the differences, does not account for...

Nutrition and skeletal problems in poultry.

Several excellent reviews regarding nutrition and skeletal disorders have appeared in the last 20 yr. This review will cover several areas of vitamin D research, the area of feed deprivation, and bone abnormalities, because there has been considerable interest in these areas during the past 10 yr. Studies indicate that the quantitative requirement for cholecalciferol (D3) for broiler chickens i...
