Nutritional alternatives to mitigate heat stress
Regarding the use of sodium bicarbonate, it works, but the temperature of the water must be around 25 to 28ºC. Higher temperatures are detected by lingual thermosensors that restrict the water consumption, and the bicarbonate effect can be reduced.

Nutritional alternatives to mitigate heat stress
Mr. Entz! Research done by Beker and Teeter (1994) showed that the addition of 0.5% KCl in the water improved broiler performance when the water temperature was 10,0oC ou 26,7oC. When the water temperature was 43,3oC, the KCl addition did not have effect. That is based that tongue neuron sensors react to water temperatures above 25oC.

Nutritional alternatives to mitigate heat stress
Dear All! I like Dr. Ruiz's arguments very much. Restricting feeding, besides light control, is a very complicated issue once we depend on people to make the restriction, and it is impossible to see all farmers doing whatever should be done, based on the company´s recommendation. At the hottest period of the day, leave the chicken alone. This is a recommendation to broilers that are produced ...

Protein reduction by up to 1.5% in commercial broiler production did not affect performance but had several benefits
During the last decade, nutritionists recommended high protein in broiler diets. Up to 23% Maybe that was too high. Not needed.1. Focus on amino acid balancing rather than protein. Focus on new amino acids like threonine.2. Yearly genetic improvement in feed conversion by selection.Has led to a reduction in crude protein in broiler feed.

Improving soybean digestibility with mono-component protease

I. INTRODUCTIONExogenous feed enzymes were first introduced as commercially-relevant feed additives in the 1980s with an initial focus on reduction of the antinutritional effects of high molecular weight soluble pentosans in wheat- and barley-based diets for young broiler chickens (Bedford & Partridge, 2010). Exogenous phytase was launched in the early 1990s to increase the digestibility of or ...

Rapidly digestible protein influences starch and protein digestive dynamics, digestibility and concentrations of amino acids in portal circulation in broiler chickens

I. INTRODUCTIONThe digestive dynamics of starch and protein are considered pivotal to broiler performance (Liu and Selle, 2015). Moreover, it was proposed that the rates of starch digestion and glucose absorption exceed the rates of protein digestion and amino acid absorption and this asynchrony in digestive dynamics compromises the performance of broiler chickens. If so, it follows that the provi ...

Achieving maximum health and performance of poultry requires nutritionally balanced diets. One of the common issues with regard to back yard flocks relates to poor or inadequate feeding programs that can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies for the birds. Vitamins and minerals are very important components of a chickens diet and unless a formulated ration is feed, it is likely that deficiencie ...

Do phytases always work in poultry nutrition?

Some producers complain that their meat or egg type chickens suffer from problems in bone or egg shell quality when they include phytase in the diet as a partial substitute for the inorganic phosphorus sources (MCP; DCP; bone meal) according to the matrix value provided by the manufacturing company. Under field conditions, phytase activity is controlled by several par ...
