RESPONSE-OF-BROILER-CHICKENS-FED-DIETS

RESPONSE OF BROILER CHICKENS FED DIETS SUPPLEMENTED WITH A BIOACTIVE OLIVE POMACE EXTRACT FROM OLEA EUROPAEA TO AN EXPERIMENTAL COCCIDIAL VACCINE CHALLENGE

This study aimed to investigate an experimental procedure of coccidial challenge in battery cages and the anticoccidial effect of a bioactive olive pomace extract from Olea europaea (OE) in broiler chickens. To this end, four hundred 1-day-old male chicks were randomly assigned to 5 experimental treatments (10 cages/treatment; 8 birds/cage).…

INSIGHTS-INTO-THE-FUNCTION-AND-EVOLUTION-OF-TASTE

INSIGHTS INTO THE FUNCTION AND EVOLUTION OF TASTE 1 RECEPTOR GENE FAMILY IN THE CARNIVORE FISH GILTHEAD SEABREAM (SPARUS AURATA)

A plethora of molecular and functional studies in tetrapods has led to the discovery of multiple taste 1 receptor (T1R) genes encoding G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) responsible for sweet (T1R2 + T1R3) and umami (T1R1 + T1R3) taste. In fish, the T1R gene family repertoires greatly expanded because of several…

THE-EFFECTS-OF-FLAVORING-AGENTS-ON-FEEDING-BEHAVIOR

THE EFFECTS OF FLAVORING AGENTS ON FEEDING BEHAVIOR, FEED EFFICIENCY, GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND TEMPERAMENT OF NEWLY ARRIVED FEEDLOT CATTLE

Ninety steers (259.9 ± 36.18 kg BW) were used in a 56-d experiment to assess the effects of flavoring additives on feeding behavior, feed efficiency, growth performance, and temperament of newly arrived feedlot cattle. Steers were homogenously distributed by BW into six pens (15 head/pen) and pen was randomly assigned…

DIET SUPPLEMENTATION WITH A BIOACTIVE

DIET SUPPLEMENTATION WITH A BIOACTIVE POMACE EXTRACT FROM OLEA EUROPAEA PARTIALLY MITIGATES NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON GUT HEALTH ARISING FROM A SHORT-TERM FASTING PERIOD IN BROILER CHICKENS

The effects of supplementing chicken diets with an olive pomace extract (OE) from Olea europaea on performance and gut health after a challenge of intestinal permeability (IP) increase were studied. Treatments included a control diet with no additives (CF), and diets supplemented with 100 ppm of monensin (MF) or with…

A-PALATABILITY-ENHANCER-THAT-IMPROVES

A PALATABILITY ENHANCER THAT IMPROVES THE PERFORMANCE OF FEED PELLETS IN SHRIMP AQUACULTURE

Because shrimp are “slow” and “selective” feeders with highly developed chemosensory systems and because conventional aquaculture systems have low visibility and high particulate matter, attractants and feeding stimulants are commonly incorporated into feed pellets to make them more quickly identified and more palatable, and thus eaten at a higher rate.…
