The objectives of this study were to compare measurements of retention and prececal (pc) digestibility in evaluating mineral phosphorus (P) sources in 3- and 5-wk-old broilers. A corn-soybean meal-based basal diet was used (0.35% P on DM basis). Anhydrous monosodium phosphate (MSP(a)) or anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate (DCP(a)) was supplemented to increment the P concentration by 0.08%, 0.1...

13 The nutritive value of 20 forage plants commonly used for feeding pigs in the Democratic 14 Republic of the Congo was studied to determine chemical composition, protein amino acid 15 profiles, mineral content, and in vitro digestibility using a two-steps method combining an 16 enzymatic pepsin and pancreatin hydrolysis followed by a 72h gas-test fermentation. The 17 highest protein contents ...

the present study describes the radiation-induced effects on nutritional quality and on anti-nutritional factors of sorghum grain: effects of electron beam (er) and gamma irradiation (gr) at doses of 10, 20 and 30 kgy and infrared irradiation (ir) at 60, 90 and 120 s on the chemical composition, mineral content and bioavailability, in vitro protein and starch digestibility, total phenolic compo...

Meat and bone meal is a valuable protein and mineral source in diets of production animals and contributes to the protein, energy and mineral component of diets. The aim of the present study was to more accurately characterise the apparent ileal amino acid digestibility of meat and bone meals produced in New Zealand and evaluate routine in vitro assays used in practise to measure meat and bone ...

Germination is a method that can modify the presence of nutrients and antinutrients in legume seeds. In this study, the changes in trypsin inhibitors activity (TIA), phytic acid, tannins, ascorbic acid, thiamine, protein digestibility and minerals in germinated black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and pigeon beans (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp) were evaluated. The...

The impact of dietary fiber on fecal digestion is well-known and provides a comprehensive approach toward nutrient digestibility and availability. Little quantitative information is available on digestion of fiber in the different segments of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The objectives of this study were to obtain a method allowing the quantification of the digestive process in different s...

Dietary availability and retention of selected minerals associated with the intensive production of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Donna Leanne Snellgrove This research programme aimed to review the nutritional requirements for the main minerals, (namely calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc) formulated in commercial diets that are essential for the health and growth performance for sal...

Since matcha includes all leaf parts seems desirable to measure contents of elements before and after digestibility. This paper examines in vitro digestibility, mineral trace element digestion their leaching ability during ice tea processing. Digestibility values measured enzymatically reached 71.3 %. High K, Mg, Mn, Ca, Fe Zn were recorded by FAAS/ETAAS. Interestingly, concentrations non-diges...

The addition of phytase to swine diets has generally increased P digestibility and consequently reduced fecal excretion of P. The comparative effects on P and Ca digestibility of dietary inclusion of 5 different phytases were evaluated in the weaned piglet. RONOZYME HiPhos is a microbial 6-phytase produced by synthetic genes, mimicking a gene from Citrobacter braakii, and was compared to the Es...

Fifteen crossbred cattle bulls of about 22-24 months age (mean body weight ranged from 291.0 to 298.1 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups of 5 animals following randomized block design. Animals in group 1 were fed concentrate mixture containing wheat bran 97%, mineral mixture 2% and salt 1% plus ad libitum chopped green sugarcane tops (SCT) as a roughage source. Animals in group 2 were fed ...
