Response of Broilers to Dietary Inclusions of Different Insoluble Fibre Sources in a Reduced Crude Protein Diet

Published: October 21, 2022
Summary
Recent studies have shown that the decreased performance of broilers associated with feeding a reduced crude protein (RCP) diet cannot be fully recovered by supplementing essential amino acids (Hilliar et al., 2019). We hypothesized that the dietary inclusion of moderate amounts of insoluble fibre would improve gizzard function and protein/amino acid digestibility that could help to restore the p...

Crude fibre role in Poultry Nutrition.

1. Adequate requirements of crude fibre in poultry feed is required for the development of the digestive tract in rearing animals (e.g. pullets) in order to facilitate adequate feed intake from the start of laying activity to the peak of laying.

2. For Stimulation of gizzard development

3. For Stabilisation of the intestinal flora and therefore improvement in faecal consistency (better litter quality in barn rearing, fewer dirty eggs in all types of housing systems.

4 For Prevention of digestive disorders therefore reduces the tendency towards (toe and => delete) feather pecking, eating feathers and cannibalism (especially with laying hens).
