Abstract Increasing the fat amount of the ration during extrusion can negatively affect product density and product expansion. Ingredients, like whole soybeans (WSB), which are high in fat may increase energy density while avoiding production issues. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of WSB on extrusion and product characteristics of dry expanded dog food. Experimental diets were extruded with 0, 100, 200, and 300 g/kg, as fed WSB. The processing conditions...

There is increasing evidence that supplementing small amounts of prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) into poultry diets has positive effects on bird performance and gastrointestinal health. Soluble XOS that reach the caeca intact are utilised by beneficial bacteria, inducing positive effects such as increased production of short chain fatty acids (Aachary & Prapulla, 2011). Commercial endo-xylanases are added to diets to reduce digesta viscosity, but have the side effect of producing...

Wheat has traditionally been the target substrate ingredient for xylanase application, due to its high arabinoxylan content causing increased digesta viscosity. However, numerous studies have highlighted the benefits of supplementing non-viscous corn-based diets with xylanase, on broiler performance and energy, protein and dry matter digestibility (Rabello et al., 2021; Stefanello et al., 2016). This is thought to be attributable to production of prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) as a...

Optimal soybean (SB) processing conditions is essential to ensure that antinutritional factors as trypsin inhibitors are deactivated while maintaining protein solubility and dispersibility. Heat processing is critical for improving amino acid digestibility of extruded SB for broilers. Excessive heat treatment can lead to denaturation of proteins, resulting in a negative impact on animal performance and microbiota composition. In this study, we investigated the effect of three different...

I. Introduction The development of reduced-CP diets in broiler chickens is gaining more interest as it would drastically lessen the dependence on imported soybean meal which is strategically important for non-soybean producing regions such as Australia and Europe. Modest reductions in CP are already being realised by inclusions of unbound (synthetic or crystalline) methionine, lysine and threonine, which have been routinely included in poultry diets for decades (Kidd et al., 2013)....

I Introduction The development of reduced-crude protein (CP) diets for broiler chickens holds several potential advantages including reduced dependency on imported soybean meal by the Australian chicken-meat industry. Typically, reduced-CP diets contain less soybean meal but more feed grain (and starch) and more synthetic/crystalline amino acids. However, reducing dietary CP from 200 to 150 g/kg in isoenergetic diets has been shown to depress body weight gain, impair food conversion...

Professor Ian Godwin’s invited presentation focused on the use of gene editing and genetic modification techniques to improve the protein content and digestibility of sorghum for use in poultry feed. Sorghum is used to produce a range of human food and beverages and is the main summer grain produced in Australia. Sorghum copes well with the unpredictable Australian climate (heat, droughts, floods). Cereals make up more than 60% of poultry feed and sorghum is an excellent feed...
