1. IntroductionBroiler chicken diets primarily consist of cereals, which are often contaminated with multiple mycotoxins [1]. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), above 25% of the global food crops are contaminated with mycotoxins [2], causing a USD 5 billion annual economic loss for North America [3]. The fungi Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum are promi ...

I.INTRODUCTIONBoth overheating and underheating affect the nutritional value and quality of SB (Karr-Lilienthal et al., 2004). Undercooked SB results in an excessive concentration of antinutritional factors, such as TI, decreasing the intestinal activity of pancreatic proteases. In contrast, excessive heat treatment results in a Maillard reaction that reduces nutrient digestibility (Araba and Dale ...

INTRODUCTIONCorn is one of the major components of poultry feed, and up to 65% of finished poultry feed can be comprised of corn and corn byproducts (Alqaisi et al., 2017). Poultry diets are often contaminated with more than one mycotoxin. Fumonisins (FB) and deoxynivalenol (DON) are secondary mycotoxin metabolites produced by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium graminearum, respectively (Glenn, ...

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 performanc ...

INTRODUCTION Poultry needs protein for growth, egg production, immunity, enzymatic activity, tissue turnover, and much more (Beski et al., 2015). Similar to other essential amino acids (AA), supplemental branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) such as isoleucine and valine allow for a reduction in the crude protein (CP) in the diet, whereas leucine is generally found in higher amounts in the cornbased d ...

Fusarium toxins are one of the most common contaminants in poultry diets. Co-occurrence of fumonisins (FUM) and deoxynivalenol (DON), even at a subclinical dose, negatively affects the production performance and intestinal integrity in broiler chickens. Loss of gut integrity can be expected to alter the intestinal microbiota composition. This study evaluated the effects of subclinical doses of com ...
