  • Mycotoxicoses in domestic livestock: toxicity of ergot alkaloids in domestic poultry and fusariotoxins in beef cattle

    Creator:
    Roberts, Heaven Le A.
    Abstract:
    Mycotoxins are food-borne toxins produced by molds which are commonly found on animal feeds of economic significance. Toxic doses of these compounds vary widely across livestock species, and even within a species when considered across all stages of development and production. This variation is due to the wide range of...

  • Lipid Metabolism and the Broiler Chicken : Effect of Dietary n-3 Fatty Acids

    Creator:
    Head, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    In broiler chickens, hepatic lipid metabolism plays a significant role in whole body and muscle fatty acid (FA) incorporation. Flax seed is a rich source of α-linolenic acid and can be used to increase n-3 FA in poultry meat. Previous studies have shown that flax seed in combination with carbohydrase...

  • Use of herbal feed additives in poultry feeding

    Creator:
    Nix, Kathryn
    Abstract:
    The use of an antibiotic as a growth promoter (AGP) began in the 1940’s with the discovery of growth responses from Streptomyces aureofaciens in the monogastric diet. However, resistance and residue problems have increased the negative consumer perception of growth promoting antibiotic use in animal diets. Although no direct link...

  • Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and leukotriene production in poultry

    Creator:
    Jha, Shantibhushan
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is the body's response to injury and is characterized by pain, swelling, redness, and heat. Eicosanoids are lipid mediators of inflammation. Leukotrienes (LT) are 20-carbon eicosanoids produced from arachidonic acid (AA), an n-6 fatty acid (FA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an n-3 FA. LT produced from AA are proinflammatory...

  • Effect of dietary fatty acids, time of feeding and immune response in poultry

    Creator:
    Gonzalez, Dulmelis
    Abstract:
    In the presence of internal or external stressors, the body requires sources of energy that aide cells to combat inflammation. Fatty acids are an important source of energy and are vital components of cell membranes. Dietary fatty acids (n-6 and n-3) are of importance in immune function because they are...

  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in broiler chickens : effects of maternal diet

    Creator:
    Bautista Ortega, Jaime
    Abstract:
    Three experiments were conducted in broiler hens to study the influence of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on egg quality, antioxidant status in progeny, and eicosanoid production in tissue. The objective of experiment 1 was to determine the effect of hen age and dietary n-3 PUFA on egg quality...

  • Enzyme Supplementation of Broiler Chicken Diets Containing Whole Flax Seed as a Means to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Human Diets

    Creator:
    Apperson, K. Denise
    Abstract:
    Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed decrease digestibility of lipids and proteins and have a negative impact...

  • Enzyme Supplementation of Layer Hen Diets Containing Whole Flaxseed to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Chicken Eggs

    Creator:
    Westbrook, Lindsay A.
    Abstract:
    Flaxseed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding laying hens flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids content (FA) in eggs, thus increasing human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), which decreases digestibility of dietary lipids and proteins. Addition of carbohydrase enzymes to flax-based layer diets...
