Laying performance and egg quality of Japanese quails fed diets containing castor meal and enzyme complex

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets formulated with corn plus soybean meal (CSM) or with 21% autoclaved castor meal (ACM), with the addition of two enzyme complexes (EC1 and EC2), on the performance and egg quality of laying quail. Two hundred and sixteen quails were selected by egg production and weight uniformity and distributed in a completely randomized design with six treatments (in a 2 × 3 cross-factorial arrangement) and six replicates with six birds each. Three CSM and three ACM diets supplemented with EC1, EC2, or unsupplemented were established. The trial lasted three cycles of 21 days. Feed intake, laying rate, egg mass, feed conversion per egg mass, and feed conversion per dozen eggs did not differ. The use of ACM diet reduced egg (EW), yolk (YW), and eggshell (SW) weights, egg specific gravity and increased yolk color. However, EW and YW were similar among quails fed diets containing CSM and ACM when supplemented with CE1.The use of enzyme complex containing xylanase, b-glucanase, and phytase is recommended when 21% autoclaved castor mealis included in the diet of laying quails.(AU)

Determinação da energia metabolizável do farelo residual do milho com e sem enzima em dietas para frangos de corte / Determination of the metabolizable energy of residual corn bran with and without enzyme in diets for broilers

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o valor nutricional e determinar a energia metabolizável do farelo residual de milho (FRM) sem e com o uso da enzima alfa- amilase. Foi realizado um experimento de metabolismo com 180 pintos machos Cobb com 14 dias, distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com seis tratamentos, cinco repetições e seis aves por parcela. As dietas experimentais foram: T1: ração referência (RR), T2: 60% T1 + 40% de FRM, T3: RR + enzima, T4: 60% T1 + 40% de FRM com adição de enzima, T5: RR com substituição de 100% do milho pelo FRM e T6: RR com substituição de 100% do milho pelo FRM com adição de enzima. A composição química do FRM foi: 88,33% de matéria seca (MS), 10,23% de proteína bruta (PB), 15,44% de extrato etéreo (EE), 4,33% de cinzas (CZ) e 4555kcal/kg de energia bruta (EB). Os valores dos coeficientes de metabolizabilidade aparente para o FRM sem e com adição de enzima foram, respectivamente, de 73,37% e 76,33% para MS (p=0,0136), 70,44% e 70,39% para PB (p=0,9595) e de 74,79% e 76,77% para EB (p=0,0128). Os valores da energia metabolizável aparente (EMA) e da EMA corrigida para retenção de nitrogênio (EMAn) para o FRM (na base natural) foram de 3322±19 e 3241±18kcal/kg e de 3334±16 e 3261±17kcal/kg, respectivamente, sem e com adição de enzima. A adição da enzima não teve efeito estatístico significativo sobre os valores de EMA e EMAn, entretanto houve efeito positivo no coeficiente de metabolização da energia.(AU)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional value and the metabolizable energy of residual corn bran (FRM) with and without the use of alpha amylase enzyme. One metabolism assay was done using 180 Ross male broilers at 14 days of age distributed in an entirely randomized design with six treatments, five replications and six broilers per plot. The assay treatments established were: T1: reference diet (RR), T2: 60% T1 + 40% of FRM, T3: T1 (RR) + enzyme addition, T4: 60% T1 + 40% of FRM with enzyme addition, T5: T1 (RR) with 100% replacement of corn by FRM and T6: T1 (RR) with 100% replacement of corn by FRM with enzyme addition. FRM chemical composition was: 88.33% of dry matter (MS), 10.23% of crude protein (PB), 15.44% of crude fat (EE), 4.33% of ashes (CZ) and 4555Kcal/kg of Gross Energy (EB). The FRM apparent metabolizability coefficients with and without the enzyme addition were, respectively, 73.37% and 76.33% for MS (p=0.0136), 70.44% and 70.39% for PB (p=0.9595) and 74.79% and 76.77% for EB (p=0.0128). The apparent metabolizable energy (EMA) and EMA corrected for nitrogen retention values (as is basis) were 3322±19 and 3241±18Kcal/kg and 3334±16 and 3261±17Kcal/kg, respectively, for with and without the enzyme addition to FRM. The enzyme addition had no statistical significance on the EMA and EMAn values, however, a significant effect on energy metabolizability coefficient was observed.(AU)
