  • Possible involvment of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the incidence of sudden death syndrome in broiler chickens

    Creator:
    Attamangkune, Seksom
    Abstract:
    Seven experiments were carried out to investigate the involvement of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism on the incidence of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) in broiler chickens. Hepatic arachidonate level decreased after 1 h postmortem. The decreased level of hepatic arachidonate previously observed in SDS birds was, therefore, associated with the post-mortem...

  • Studies of managerial variables on broiler performance and abdominal fat levels

    Creator:
    Hakimi, Ali Y.
    Abstract:
    Today's consumers have shown a greater concern in the relationship between dietary fat and human health. The demand for leaner meat is continuously on the rise. The reduction of fat deposits in the abdominal area of ready-to-cook fryers, considered a waste product in the poultry industry, has become a major...

  • Studies of fiber utilization in poultry

    Creator:
    Hollister, Albert Gene, 1945-
    Abstract:
    The high quality feedstuffs which are used in poultry feeds are costly and could be used directly for human food. There is less competition for fibrous feedstuffs which are less digestible by humans and other nonruminants. Feedstuffs containing crude and refined dietary fiber were examined for their effects on performance,...

  • Dietary fish meal and the incidence of sudden death syndrome in broiler chickens

    Creator:
    Wu, Yea-ching
    Abstract:
    Five experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of dietary fish meal on the incidence of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) in broiler chickens. Growth, feed efficiency, total mortality and mortality due to SDS were evaluated. Necropsy examination was performed on broilers suspected of dying from SDS. Liver lipid and fatty...

  • Dietary energy manipulation on fat deposition and metabolism in broilers

    Creator:
    Zhong, Cheng
    Abstract:
    The objective of this work was to define the effects of dietary energy intake on broiler fat deposition and metabolism. Fatty broilers are one of the major problems in the broiler industry. The effects of changing calorie to protein (Cal/Pr) ratios, and the addition of cellulose or dried distiller's byproduct...
