مستخلص: Background: White Pekin ducks can be reared under intensive rearing system for meat and egg production. Depending upon the availability, duck farmers use different types of cereals for feeding their ducks. Therefore, a study was conducted to find out the performance of White Pekin ducks during mid phase of layingfed on wheat and/or broken rice based diets under intensive rearing system. Methods: White Pekin laying ducks (45; 41 weeks old) were divided into three groups. Three types of diets without (BR-0) and with broken rice (BR), replacing 50 (BR-50) and 100 (BR-100) per cent of wheat were prepared and offered randomly to the above three groups till the ducks attained 52 weeks of age under standard feeding and management practices. Result: The total egg production (dozen) and duck day egg production (DDEP) % were higher in BR-50 group (4.51 and 64.44) than the BR-100 group (3.85 and 55.00); however, both were similar to BR-0 group (4.09 and 58.49). The total feed intake (12.55-13.80, kg) and feed conversion ratio (feed consumed in kg per dozen eggs produced) (2.93-3.31) were similar among the groups. The cost (Rs.) per egg was lower in BR-50 group (7.79) than the BR-0 group (8.32) and BR-100 group (8.71). The egg weight in BR-50 group (76.61 g) was higher than the BR-0 group (75.42 g); however, both were similar with BR-100 group (76.19 g). There was no significant difference in the egg shape index (68.22-69.69), albumen index (0.13-0.14) and yolk index (0.42-0.44) among the groups. The However, the Haugh unit in BR-100 groups (87.32) was lower than BR-0 group (89.90); but both were similar with BR-50 group (89.56). There were no significant differences in the percentage of albumen (55.09-55.71), yolk (31.75-32.38) and shell (12.45-12.63) among the groups. Similarly, the shell thickness with membrane (0.50-0.52, mm) and without membrane (0.43-0.44, mm) were also similar among the groups. It can be concluded that White Pekin ducks can be raised on wheat and/or broken ricebased diets during mid phase of laying under intensive rearing system; however, mixture of wheat and broken rice in equal ratio increased the performance and was economical.

مستخلص: Simple Summary: Deoxynivalenol is a secondary metabolite produced by fungal activity which has detrimental effects on nutrient digestibility and growth performance in pigs. These metabolites are found in the grain feeds such as barley, corn, and wheat, which are major ingredients in pig diets. To mitigate the negative effects of deoxynivalenol, clay products are often supplemented in pig diets. However, clay products potentially bind nutrients, including minerals and amino acids, consequently decreasing the digestibility of these essential nutrients. On the other hand, a preservative blend product containing antioxidants, microorganisms, vitamins, and amino acids was reported to restore the impaired growth performance by deoxynivalenol. In the present study, sodium digestibility was decreased by dietary deoxynivalenol but restored with the supplementation of the preservative blend product. Zinc digestibility was increased by dietary deoxynivalenol but decreased when bentonite was added to the deoxynivalenol-contaminated diet. The digestibility of some amino acids was decreased by supplemental bentonite. Overall, the addition of the preservation blend product improved some mineral digestibility whereas the addition of bentonite decreased the digestibility of some minerals and amino acids. The objectives were to determine the effects of dietary deoxynivalenol (DON) on apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of nutrients and to evaluate the efficacy of a bentonite (BEN) and a preservative blend (PB) product for alleviating DON effects on the nutrient digestibility of pigs. Twelve crossbred barrows with an initial body weight of 69.4 kg (standard deviation = 3.5) equipped with a T-cannula in the distal ileum were allotted a triplicated 4 × 2 incomplete Latin square design with four dietary treatments and two periods. Dietary treatments were (1) an uncontaminated diet, (2) a contaminated diet (CD) mainly based on contaminated wheat with 1.6 mg/kg DON, (3) CD + 0.25% PB consisting of preservation components as major sources, antioxidants, microorganisms, and amino acids (AA), and (4) CD + 0.25% BEN. The AID and ATTD of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, most minerals, and most AA were not affected by DON contamination. Dietary DON decreased the AID and ATTD of sodium (p < 0.05) but were restored by supplementing the PB product (p < 0.05). The AID of zinc was increased (p < 0.05) by dietary DON, but supplementing BEN decreased zinc digestibility (p < 0.05). The AID of Arg, Ile, Thr, and Asp was decreased (p < 0.05) by BEN addition. In conclusion, dietary DON affected the digestibility of some minerals but not AA in pigs. Supplemental BEN can negatively affect the nutrient digestibility of some minerals and AA in pigs. The addition of a PB product in pig diets can restore digestibility of sodium but not of other nutrients. Based on these observations, feed additives for alleviating DON effects on nutrient digestibility of pigs can be carefully selected by swine diet formulators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات موضوعية: HENS, EGG quality, WHEAT as feed, EGG yolk, DIET, WHEAT

مستخلص: The experiment was to investigate the effects of bacterial-enzyme complex on the production performance, egg quality, egg composition, and nutrient apparent metabolic rate in wheat-based laying hens. A total of 360 Jinghong laying hens were randomly divided into three groups with 10 replicates in each group and 12 laying hens in each replicate. The control group was fed with corn-soybean meal diet. The wheat group used 10% wheat to replace the same proportion of corn in the control group diet. The bacterial-enzyme complex group was supplemented with 0.02% bacterial-enzyme complex on the basis of wheat group diet. The pre-test period was three days, and the formal test period was 28 days. The results showed that there was no significant difference in production performance, egg quality, and egg composition among the control group, wheat group, and bacterial-enzyme complex group (P>0.05). The lutein content of egg yolk in wheat group decreased gradually with the increase of experiment time. On the 22nd, 25th, and 28th day, the lutein content of egg yolk in wheat group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05), and the lutein content of egg yolk in bacterial-enzyme complex group was significantly higher than that in wheat group (P<0.05). The apparent metabolic rates of dry matter, crude protein, calcium, and phosphorus in wheat group were lower than those in control group (P>0.05), while the apparent metabolic rates of crude protein and phosphorus in bacterial-enzyme complex group laying hens were significantly higher than those in the control group and wheat group (P<0.05). The study indicates that using 10% wheat instead of corn can not affect egg quality and egg composition, but can reduce yolk color and lutein content. Bacterial-enzyme complex can increase yolk lutein content of wheat group, improve yolk color and improve nutrient apparent metabolic rate of laying hens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مصطلحات موضوعية: ANIMAL feeds, WHEAT bran, RICE bran, WHEAT as feed, SOYBEAN meal, DIGESTION

مستخلص: Feed phytase is one of the most successful biotechnological applications that led to better farm performance and effective phosphorus (P) reduction in animal excrement. Better estimation of phytase-hydrolyzable P (PHP) in feeds can further improve the estimation of animal rations for higher productivity. PHP in yellow corn, feed wheat, wheat pollard, rice bran, soybean meal, copra meal, and monodicalcium phosphate (MDCP) was determined by in vitro digestion. To determine if PHP values of feed ingredients are additive, three formulated diets were also subjected to the same method. The procedure consisted of phytase, pepsin, and pancreatin digestion periods - each of which simulated the different sections of poultry's gastrointestinal tract. After these three incubations, the P contents in the dialysate and residual fluids - with and without enzyme - were analyzed. Results showed that yellow corn contained the highest PHP value with 52.54% of its total soluble P - followed by soybean meal, rice bran, copra meal, and feed wheat with 52.32, 39.86, 26.77, and 21.9%, respectively. Wheat pollard and MDCP had -58.47 and -2.63%, respectively. On the other hand, formulated diets 1, 2, and 3 contained actual PHPs of 32.3, 14.02, and 38.68% - as well as calculated values of 33.22, 29.13, and 40.1%, respectively. Statistical analyses showed no significant difference between the actual and calculated values. Therefore, PHP is additive when used in diet formulation. Lastly, comparing the P in the dialysate from the experiment and the available P present in the seven feed samples based on literature indicated that the experimental values were lower than those of the literature data for all samples. This discrepancy can be attributed to the type of samples analyzed; the experimental data were obtained upon in vitro assay of individual feeds, whereas the literature values were based on an as-fed basis, which may contain other components normally fed to animals.

مصطلحات موضوعية: TRIBOLIUM, CORN flour, FLOUR, INSECT pests, WHEAT as feed, BARLEY

مستخلص: Tribolium confusum, commonly referred to as the confused flour beetle, is a widespread pest insect that commonly attacks and infests stored grain and flour. The present study aims to determine the growth of the larvae of the confused flour beetle, T. confusum, following feeding on wheat, barley, and yellow corn flour. The shortest duration and highest survival of the larvae were obtained after feeding them wheat flour. In contrast, the longest duration and least survival of the larvae were obtained after feeding on yellow corn flour. There was no definite pattern to the effect of the type of flour on the duration of pupae at the different temperatures (15, 27, 35°C). The highest survival of pupae was obtained after feeding larvae on wheat flour. However, the least survival was obtained after feeding larvae yellow corn flour. The larval and pulpal duration decreased with the increase in temperature from 15 to 35 °C. Contrariwise, the survival of larvae and pupae increased with the increase in temperature. It is clear that the maximum number that can be obtained for the developmental stages (larvae, pupae, and adult insects) from a similar clan of flour terns (T.confusum) under practical conditions is that the larvae are raised on wheat flour and kept at a temperature of 35°C until the adult stages of the insect emerge.

مصطلحات موضوعية: *WHEAT, *WHEAT as feed, *WHEAT breeding, *WEIGHT gain, *BODY weight, *CONSUMPTION (Economics)

مستخلص: Wheat is the cereal grain of choice for Whole Grain Feeding (WGF) in poultry, despite the fact that globally maize is the most commonly used cereal grain. In this context, in the present study feeding of whole wheat to commercial broilers with two types of feeding systems was used, i.e., mixed and choice feeding systems of wheat with different levels of replacement with maize by 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100%. The body weight and body weight gain of birds fed with 20% and 40% choice feeding of wheat was found to be the highest (p<0.05). The mean wheat consumption (g/bird) from total feed consumption under choice feeding during 2 to 6 weeks of age in birds fed with 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% were found to be 363.18, 720.12, 1398.45, 2160.30 and 3202.10, respectively. Birds fed with choice feeding of 40% wheat showed significantly (p<0.05) improved FCR. The highest livability (%) was found in the birds fed with 40% and 100% choice feeding of wheat. The gizzard weight (g) showed non-significant difference among the birds fed with various treatment rations. The highest return over feed cost (in Rs.) was found in the birds fed with 40% choice feeding of wheat. The overall results indicated that choice feeding system is more suitable for better body weight gain and improved FCR as compared to mixed feeding system of whole wheat. Feeding with 40% maize in diet replaced by wheat and offered in separate feeder is more economical and profitable due to higher body weight gain, improved FCR and acceptable mortality.

مستخلص: Simple Summary: The production of broiler ducks on farms (incl. small-scale farms) can be carried out using various feeding and maintenance systems. During times of increasing feed prices and many challenges, a solution is sought that will result in efficient production. Owing to the high cost of complete feed, partial replacement with a wheat grain (10–40%), often from the farm's resources, could reduce these costs. In this study, we found no adverse effects on the production performance or on the quality characteristics of meat. Moreover, an increased profit was shown according to analysis of the potential sales of duck carcasses, which is the essence of production with changes and challenges faced by producers in the agri-food market. The aim of this study was to evaluate the production efficiency (economics), growth, and meat quality of ducks fed with feed partially replaced with wheat. A total of 200 ducks were reared for 49 days. Each group consisted of 50 ducks (5 pens with 10 birds). For slaughter, 10 birds per group were chosen. The control group (C) was provided with a complete feed. In the experimental groups, from 42 to 49 days, the feed was replaced with wheat grains at the level of 10% (W10), 20% (W20), or 40% (W40). In the W20 and W40 groups, the cost of feed was reduced. In the W40 group, the profit per 1 kg carcass was increased by PLN 3.34 (more than 24% higher than the C group profit). A higher percentage of pectoral muscles and intramuscular fat was observed in the W20 group, with lower water content. A lower water-holding capacity (WHC) was observed in the duck leg muscles in group W40. The muscles from the W20 group had higher protein, collagen, and water content, and the fat was highest in the W40 group. A lower toughness of cooked meat was observed in the W20 group, and lower shear force in the pectoral muscles of groups C and W40. Thinning feed with wheat grains could represent an alternative to conventional feeding of broiler ducks, owing to reduced feed costs, with no negative impact on utility features, including growth, except the share of pectoral muscle and water absorption traits.
