In the article, results of researches on an establishment of an optimum source of Manganese, Zinc, Iron and Copper are resulted. Different source Manganese, Zinc, Iron and Copper was additionally added mixed fodder for ducklings grown for meat. Experimental studies conducted in terms of problem research laboratory of feed additives National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Independent experiment was conducted with growing meat ducklings. We conducted a randomized block experiment with 5 treatments, each with 4 replicates of 25 growing ducks (1 to 42 d of age). A diet consisting of corn, soybean and sunflower meal, fish meal, premix (22.5% CP, 2.92 kcal of ME/g on 1 to 14 d of age, 18.5% CP, 2.90 kcal of ME/g on 15 to 42 d of age) having severally Manganese, Zinc, Iron, Copper at sulphate, glycinate and citrate. The premix was formulated to contain the requirements of trace elements in combination of either inorganic (sulphate form) or organic form (glycinate and citrate form). Diets were supplemented with the organic form of zinc, copper, manganese or iron at the rate of 100% or 75% of the total requirements of the elements. Diets and water were offered ad libitum. After 6 weeks of dietary treatments the growth performance (feed intake, body weight, daily gain, feed conversion, homogeneity of the poultry) were affected by dietary treatments. Results indicated that chicks fed diets containing 100% organic minerals (Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu) had significantly higher body weight, better feed conversion compared with those of inorganic control minerals treatment. Use of fodder for ducklings, which are grown for meat glycinate Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu versus sulfate improves their productive performance. The body weight of ducklings at 42 d of age is more by 1.6% (P < 0.05) and the conversion of feed is 1.0% higher. The conversion of feed from consumption was rather high (R2=0.84), which confirms the change in the productive indicators of duckling from the feed factor.

In the article, results of researches on an establishment of an optimum level of polyphenolic carbon complex from Antarctic black yeast Nadsoniella nigra are resulted. Experimental studies conducted in terms of problem research laboratory of feed additives National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Independent experiment was conducted with growing quails. We conducted a randomized block experiment with 4 treatments, each with 4 replicates of 30 growing birds (1 to 42 d of age). It was experimentally established that feeding quails polyphenolcarbonate complex from antarctic black yeast Nadsoniella nigra, the basis of which is melanin, in the compound feed at 1.0 mg/kg increased body weight at 42 days of age by 3.2 % (P < 0.001). Feeding the complex at the level of 0.5 mg/kg contributed to a probable increase in body weight of animals by 2.9 % (P < 0.001). The difference between animals of groups 3 and 4 was 0.3 %. This indicates an already effective dose of the complex at the level of 0.5 mg/kg of feed. Adding to the feed complex at the level of 0.1–1.0 mg/1 kg of feed helps to reduce feed costs by 0.6–1.6 %. The most effective feed conversion for the 1–42-day period is set at 3,345 kg per 1 kg of body weight gain of quails.

Independent experiment was conducted with growing Pharaoh Coturnix quails to determine the optimal valine-to-protein ratio for quail development. We conducted a randomized block experiment with 4 treatments, each with 5 replicates of 25 growing birds (1 to 35 d of age). A diet consisting of soybean and sunflower meal, wheat, corn, Fish meal, sunflower oil, concentrate (28% CP, 2.88 kcal/g on 1 to 21d of age, 20.5 % CP, 2.97 kcal/g on 22 to 35 d of age) having severally 1.54 and 1.33 % valine served as basal feed. Valine was supplemented in four graded levels up to 2.10 g/100 g on 1 to 21d of age and 1.54 g/100 g on 22 to 35 d of age at the expense of L-valine. Diets and water were offered ad libitum.</p><p>Body weight gain and feed/gain ratio were studied. Quails significantly responded to the increasing valine concentration in growth, feed/gain ratio. Analysis was used to calculate the Valine nutrient recommendations. These estimates were 1.28 % for the starter and 1.23 % for the total Val for the grower period. Supplementation with Valine to the base diet resulted in body weight gain of quails equal to those fed the control diet (p&lt;0.01). Feed conversion values of quails supplemented with Valine, resulted in an improvement on 2.3 %.</p>

Diets and water were offered ad libitum. After 5 weeks of dietary treatments the carcass composition (breast muscles, leg muscles, skin, subcutaneous fat, liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, gizzard) were affected by dietary treatments. Carcass weight and breast muscles was increased (P < 0.05) with organic sources of manganese in the diet. It found little effect (P = 0.053) sources of manganese in the fodder for eviscerated yield. Therefore, Manganese glycinate could be used as a good tool for improving carcass yield of quails.

Abstract In a 12-week feeding trial, 32 rabbits (Chinchilla X New Zealand White; 56 days old; 691±1g body weight) were used to investigate the effect of pro- and pre-biotics as growth enhancer on the growth performance, intestinal mucosal development, haematological and serum biochemical responses of rabbits. The dietary Biotronic® prebiotics and Biovet®-YC probiotics were added at 400mg/kg and 50mg/kg respectively. The rabbits were housed individually and randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (n=8/group; 50:50 bucks to does) including a control diet (diet 1), diet 2 (control+Biotronic® prebiotics), diet 3 (control+ Biovet®-YC probiotics) and diet 4 (control+symbiotics [Biotronic® prebiotics and Biovet®-YC probiotics]). Body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were monitored. Five rabbits per treatment were used for organ assessment and intestinal histomorphology after feeding trial. Blood samples were collected for haematological and serum biochemical analysis. Results showed that supplementation of Biotronic® prebiotics and symbiotics in rabbit diet significantly (P&lt;0.05) increased final BW and ADG compared to Biovet®-YC probiotic and control diets. Kidney, lung, oesophagus, gastro-intestinal tract, small and large intestines were significantly (P&lt;0.05) influenced by dietary treatments. Ileal mucosal assessment revealed that villus height (VH), villus width, villus density, crypt depth (CD), and VH:CD ratio of rabbits fed Biotronic® prebiotic and symbiotic diets were similar and significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher than those rabbits fed control and Biovet®-YC probiotic diets. Packed cell volume of rabbits fed symbiotic and control diets was significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher than those fed Biotronic® prebiotic and Biovet®-YC probiotic diets. This study suggests that Biotronic® prebiotics and its combination with Biovet®-YC probiotics are good alternative growth promoting feed additives in rabbit nutrition. They improved performance, intestinal development and blood profiles and aid feed digestion, nutrient absorption and utilization in rabbits.

In an experiment with 200 one-day-old broiler turkeys, the effect of partial and total replacement of soybean meal with chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) on productivity and meat composition was determined. In the 12-week experiment, turkeys were allocated to five dietary treatments: ECKP0, ECKP200, ECKP400, ECKP600 and ECKP800 of 40 birds each, and received a diet ad libitum. The diet for ECKP0 treatment contained no chickpeas (control), while those for treatments ECKP200, ECKP400 ECKP600 and ECKP800 included 200, 400, 600 and 800 kg/t of wet extruded (at 120&deg;C for 20 s) chickpeas, respectively. Replacement of soybean meal with extruded chickpeas, at inclusion levels up to 200 kg/t of diet, resulted in similar productive performance. At the end of the experiment, the body weight (BW) and the feed conversion ratio for ECKP0 treatment were 7 782 g and 2.46 g of daily feed consumption per g of BW gain, respectively. However, the replacement of soybean meal with extruded chickpeas at higher inclusion levels (400, 600 and 800 kg/t of diet) decreased body weight by 7.7% (P &lt; 0.05) and increased feed conversion ratio by 14.9% (P &lt; 0.05) compared to the control. Moreover, carcass yield traits were not affected (P &gt; 0.05) by feeding diets with increasing levels of extruded chickpeas. Thus, extruded chickpeas can be used as an alternative protein source to replace soybean meal in broiler turkey diets, at inclusion levels up to 200 kg/t. &nbsp;

An experiment was conducted with 160, day old Cobb 500 broiler chicks to evaluate the effect of supplementation of Grow Power (GP) on the performance of broiler. The dietary treatments were control (D1), Grow Power (D2), Grow Power plus antibiotic (D3) and antibiotic (D4). At 5th week of age, the body weight of birds at different dietary treatments were 938.75, 1105.00, 1136.25, and 985.00g in the diets of D1, D2, D3 and D4, respectively. Body weight gain at 2nd, 3rd and 4th week of age were significantly (P<0.05) higher in GP supplemented group (D2) and GP plus antibiotic group (D3) than that of control (D1) and antibiotic (D4) groups. Feed consumption during the experimental period was 1753.75, 1938.75, 1917.50 and 1774.50g for D1, D2, D3 and D4, respectively. At 2nd and 3rd week of age, feed consumption were significantly (p<0.05) higher in D3 group than the other groups including control. Significantly (P<0.05) better Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) was found in D3 (2.03) and D2 (2.11) groups compared to D1 (2.31) and D4 (2.28).  At 3rd, 4th and 5th week of age, the Performance Index (%) was significantly higher in D2 than D1 and D4. Meat yield parameter of broilers showed significant (P<0.05) differences in dressing weight, feather weight, shank weight, drumstick weight, neck weight, liver weight and viscera weight. Based on the results obtained from the current study it may be concluded that the inclusion of Grow Power @ 50gm/100kg of mixed feed with or without antibiotic improved the growth of commercial broiler including their FCR and therefore, this product may be considered as an alternative of traditional antibiotic in broiler diet.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v44i1.23139Bang.

Locally obtained dried pulp of the fruit of African locust bean (Parka filicoidea) was included at the rates of 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0%, at the expense of maize , in the diets of chicks and of pullets whose basal diets contained 25.5% and 18.0% respectively. The chicks were White Rock X Cornish (WRXC)and the Nigeria indigenous (Ind.). The six week body weight of the chicks were reduced to 648.2g (WRXC) on 2.5% and 425.3g (Ind.) on 5.0% dietary pulp, pulp. Beyond thee respective dietary levels of pulps, the body weight of the strains were significantly (P < 0.05) depressed. The feed conversion ration (2.8 – 3.1) mortality (1.7 – 2.5%), nitrogen retention (59.7 – 69.5) of the chicks and the metabolizable energy of the diets, (12.1 -12.9 MJ/kg., ME) were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by dietary treatments. However, the better values with these traits were associated with the basal diets and were in respect of the WRXC chicks. The hen day production, egg weight and liveweight gain of the layers were significantly (P < 0.05) depressed when dietary pulp attained 7.5% (50.8%), 10.0% (53.5g) and 10.0% (132.1g) respectively. The yolk colour score (9 - 14) was significantly (P < 0.05) improved at 7.5 – 15.0% dietary pulp while feed conversion ration (2.7 – 4.9) and Haugh Unit (76.1 – 78.1) were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by dietary treatment. The price of the pulp in relation to that of maize suggested that it was economic to replace maize to at least 2.5%and 5.0% in the diets of chicks and of the layers respectively

Sixty 7-week-old New Zealand White rabbits were randomly distributed into 5 equal experimental groups. The experimental rabbits were fed the tested diets till 14 weeks of age during summer season. The basal diet without feed additives (control; T1) and the other experimental diets were supplemented with enzymes at 0.5 g/kg (T2), organic acids at 1.0 g/kg (T3), Beta-pro at 0.2 g/kg (T4) or their combination (T5). The criteria of response were body weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, some blood constituents, carcass traits and economic efficiency. The obtained results can be summarized as follows: Positive effects of feed additives were observed on live body weight, daily weight gain and feed conversion of growing rabbits. There were no significant effects on blood parameters or carcass traits due to feed additives. It can be concluded that dietary Beta-pro (enzymes+probiotics) or a combination of enzymes, organic acids and Beta-pro at the tested levels can be used to improve the rabbit performance, with no adverse effects on carcass characteristics or blood parameters.
