ABSTRACT

1. The purpose of this study was to determine the metabolisable energy of high-protein distiller's dried grains with solubles (HP-DDGS) for meat quail (Coturnix coturnix coturnix; Experiment I) and evaluate the effects of dietary levels of HP-DDGS on animal performance, carcase characteristics, meat quality, and organ weights (Experiment II).2. In Experiment 1, 96 meat quail were distributed in a completely randomised design with two treatments (reference or test diet) and six replicates of eight birds. The experimental period consisted of 5 d adaptation, followed by 5 d total excreta collection. The experimental diets consisted of a reference (control) and a test diet formulated with 800 g/kg reference diet and 200 g/kg HP-DDGS.3. In Experiment 2, 612 meat quail were distributed in a completely randomised design fed one of six dietary levels of HP-DDGS (0, 85, 170, 255, 340, or 425 g/kg) as a replacement for soybean meal. At 42 d of age, birds were slaughtered and evaluated for carcase yield, organ weights, and meat quality.4. Apparent metabolisable energy values corrected for nitrogen retention of HP-DDGS were 12.5 and 12.3 MJ/kg for males and females, respectively.5. In the starter phase (1-21 d of age), increasing dietary HP-DDGS levels had a quadratic effect on body weight (BW) (P = 0.020) and body weight gain (BWG) (P = 0.019). The maximum BW and BWG values were estimated to be achieved with 296.0 and 296.2 g/kg dietary HP-DDGS, respectively. Overall (1-42 d of age), increasing dietary HP-DDGS levels in replacement of soybean meal did not affect animal performance, carcase yield, meat quality or organ weight in meat quail.6. It was concluded that dietary HP-DDGS can fully replace soybean meal in meat quail diets without affecting growth performance, carcase yield, meat quality or organ weight.

ABSTRACT

Summary Background: the use of semi-purified glycerin in pig diets has been studied as an alternative energy source. Objective: to evaluate growth performance and serum levels of glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, and urea in pigs fed diets containing semi-purified glycerin during the growth phase. Methods: forty barrows with an initial weight of 27.30 ± 1.74 kg, distributed in a randomized complete block design, with four treatments and five replicates were used. The dietary treatments were a combination of corn and soybean meal diets with the addition of 0, 5, 10 or 15% semi-purified glycerin. The experimental period lasted 27 days and was divided into two periods. Results: during Period 1, pig performance did not differ with the inclusion of semi-purified glycerin in the diet. In Period 2, an improvement in average daily weight gain was observed. In the total period, an improvement was observed in the average daily weight gain, feed/gain ratio and final weight of the animals. However, serum parameters were not affected by the inclusion of semi-purified glycerin in the diets. Conclusions: the addition of up to 15% semi-purified glycerin to the diet of growing pigs improves growth performance without affecting serum parameters.

ABSTRACT

Foram conduzidos dois experimentos, com o objetivo de estimar a exigência de valina e isoleucina digestível para codornas de corte em crescimento. No experimento 1, foram utilizadas 2.160 codornas de corte de um dia de idade, não sexadas, distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com arranjo fatorial 4x4, sendo quatro níveis de valina digestível (0,90, 1,10, 1,30 e 1,50%) e quatro níveis de isoleucina digestível (0,80, 1,00, 1,20 e 1,40%), totalizando 16 tratamentos, com três repetições e 45 codornas por unidade experimental. O peso corporal, o ganho de peso e a biomassa corporal acumulada aumentaram linearmente em função dos níveis de valina digestível e foram influenciados de forma quadrática, estimando 1,38% de isoleucina digestível. No experimento 2, foram utilizadas 1.440 codornas de corte não sexadas, distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com arranjo fatorial 4x4, sendo quatro níveis de valina digestível (0,82, 1,02, 1,22 e 1,42%) e quatro níveis de isoleucina digestível (0,73, 0,93, 1,13 e 1,33%), totalizando 16 tratamentos, com três repetições e 30 codornas por unidade experimental. O desempenho de codornas de corte, no período de 15 a 35 dias de idade, não foi influenciado pelo aumento dos níveis de valina e isoleucina digestível nas rações experimentais. Conclui-se que as exigências de valina e isoleucina digestível para o máximo desempenho de codornas de corte, no período de um a 14 dias de idade, foram de 1,50% e 1,38%, respectivamente, correspondendo às relações valina:lisina de 95% e isoleucina:lisina de 88%. Os menores níveis avaliados, no período de 15 a 35 dias de idade, de 0,82% de valina digestível e de 0,73% de isoleucina digestível, correspondendo às relações valina:lisina de 52% e isoleucina: lisina de 46%, foram suficientes para satisfazer as exigências nutricionais das codornas de corte sem comprometer o desempenho.(AU)


Two experiments were carried out in order to estimate the requirements of digestible valine and isoleucine for growing meat quails. In experiment 1, 2160 meat quails with 1 day of age, not sexed, were used, distributed in a completely randomized design with a 4x4 factorial arrangement, with four levels of digestible valine (0.90, 1.10, 1.30, and 1.50%) and four levels of digestible isoleucine (0.80, 1.00, 1.20, and 1.40 %), totaling 16 treatments with three replications and 45 quails per experimental unit. The body weight, the weight gain, and the accumulated body biomass linearly increased in function of digestible valine levels and were influenced in a quadratic way estimating 1.38% of digestible isoleucine. In experiment 2, 1440 meat quails, not sexed, were used, distributed in a completely randomized design with a 4x4 factorial arrangement, with four levels of digestible valine (0.82, 1.02, 1.22, and 1.42%) and four levels of digestible isoleucine (0.73, 0.93, 1.13, and 1.33%), totaling 16 treatments with three replications and 30 quails per experimental unit. The performance of meat quails from 15 to 35 days of age was not affected by increased levels of digestible valine and digestible isoleucine in the experimental diets. It was concluded that the requirements of digestible valine and digestible isoleucine for maximum performance of meat quail from one to 14 days of age were 1.50% and 1.38%, respectively, corresponding to relations: valine: lysine of 95% and isoleucine: lysine of 88%. The lower levels evaluated, in the period of 15 to 35 days old, 0.82% digestible valine and 0.73% of digestible isoleucine, corresponding to relations valine: lysine of 52% and isoleucine: lysine of 46% were sufficient to meet the nutritional requirements of meat quails without compromising performance.(AU)

ABSTRACT

1. The objective of this study was to estimate growth parameters of carcass components (wing, thighs and drumsticks, back and breast) and organs (heart, liver, gizzard and gut) in males and females of one meat-type quail strain (Coturnix coturnix coturnix) and two laying strains (Coturnix coturnix japonica) designated either yellow or red. 2. A total of 1350 quail from 1 to 42 d old were distributed in a completely randomised design, with 5 replicates of each strain. The carcass component weights and body organs were analysed weekly and evaluated using the Gompertz function; growth rates were evaluated through derivative equations. 3. The meat-type strain presented the highest growth rates in carcass components and organs. Across strains, females showed the highest weight of internal organs at maturity compared to males. 4. Females had greater growth potential in breast, wings and back than males for both yellow and red laying quail.

ABSTRACT

Três experimentos foram conduzidos para determinar o valor nutritivo da glicerina bruta (GB), bem como verificar o desempenho de codornas de corte alimentadas com essa fonte alternativa de alimento. No experimento I, foram utilizadas 75 codornas, distribuídas em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso (DIC), com três tratamentos e cinco repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de uma ração referência (RR) e duas rações teste (RT), e a GB substituiu a RR em níveis de oito e 12%. O valor estimado de energia metabolizável aparente corrigida para balanço de nitrogênio (EMAn) foi de 4.893kcal/kg. No experimento II, de um a 14 dias de idade, foram utilizadas 1.320 codornas, não sexadas, distribuídas em DIC, com seis tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por seis rações com níveis crescentes (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 e 15%) de GB. O peso vivo (PV), o ganho de peso (GP), o consumo de ração (CR), a conversão alimentar (CA), a biomassa corporal acumulada (BCA) e a umidade da cama (UC) aumentaram linearmente com a inclusão de GB. No experimento III, de 15 a 35 dias de idade, foram utilizadas 1.032 codornas, distribuídas sob as mesmas condições do experimento II. O GP, o CR, a BCA, a UC, o peso de peito (PPEI) e o rendimento de peito (RPEI) aumentaram linearmente com a inclusão de GB. Considerando-se os dados de desempenho, a GB pode ser incluída até o nível de 15%...


Three experiments were carried out aiming to determine the nutritive value and verify the performance of meat quails feed with crude glycerin (CG). In the first trial 75 quails were used, allocated in a completely randomized design, consisting in three treatments and five replications. The treatments consisted of one reference diet (RD) and two test diets (TD), in which the CG replaced the RD at levels of eight and 12%. The estimated value of metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen balance was 4,893kcal/kg. In experiment two o, from d 1 to 14, 1,320 not sexed quails were used, allotted in a completely randomized design, with six treatments and 4 four replications. The treatments consisted of six diets with increased levels of CG (0; 3; 6; 9; 12 and 15%). The live weight (LW), weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion (FC), biomass accumulated body (BAB) and litter moisture (LM) increased linearly with the inclusion of CG. Considering the performance data, it can be concluded that CG can be included in the diets up to15%. In experiment three, d 15 to 35, 1,032 quails were used, allocated under the same conditions of experiment two. The WG, FI, BAB, LM, breast weight (BW) and breast yield (BY) increased linearly with the inclusion of CG. Considering the performance data, it can be concluded that the CG can be included in the diets up to the level of 15%...

ABSTRACT

We evaluated the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) and cytochrome oxidase subunit III (COX III) mRNA expressions in the muscle and liver of Japanese quails presenting high and low feed efficiency (FE), and subjected them to three different environmental temperatures: comfort, heat stress (38°C), and cold stress (10°C). ANT mRNA expression was lower in the liver of heat-stressed animals. In the muscle, higher ANT and COX III mRNA expressions were observed in high-FE and cold-stressed animals. In the liver, much higher expression of COX III mRNA was observed in cold-stressed animals. These results suggest a possible correlation between the genes involved in energy production by the mitochondria and FE phenotypes, and that environmental temperature can affect the ANT and COX III mRNA expressions. Japanese quails presenting different FE levels respond differently to environmental stimuli.

ABSTRACT

Foram conduzidos três experimentos com o objetivo de determinar a composição química e os valores de energia metabolizável da glicerina vegetal semipurificada e verificar o desempenho e as características de carcaça de codornas de corte alimentadas com rações contendo níveis crescentes de glicerina. No experimento 1, foram utilizadas 50 codornas, alojadas em gaiolas de metabolismo. Os tratamentos consistiram de uma ração referência e de uma ração teste contendo nível de substituição de 10% de glicerina, com cinco repetições de cinco codornas por repetição. O valor de energia metabolizável aparente corrigida para balanço de nitrogênio da glicerina foi de 3.069kcal/kg. No experimento 2, foram utilizadas 640 codornas, distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos (ração controle e níveis de glicerina = 4, 8, 12 e 16%) e quatro repetições com 32 aves em cada repetição. Não foram observadas diferenças (P>0,05) para consumo de ração e ganho de peso. A inclusão de glicerina, na fase de um a 14 dias de idade, piorou a conversão alimentar. No experimento 3, foram utilizadas 440 codornas, distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições com 22 aves em cada repetição. Os tratamentos utilizados foram os mesmos do experimento 2. O consumo de ração aumentou linearmente (P<0,05) com o aumento dos níveis de glicerina, contudo o ganho de peso e a conversão alimentar não foram influenciados. Conclui-se que a glicerina semipurificada pode ser incluída nas rações das codornas, na fase de 15 a 35 dias de idade, até o nível de 16%.


Three experiments were carried out to determine the chemical composition and metabolizable energy values of vegetable semi-purified glycerin and verify the performance and carcass yeild of meat type quai, fed with diets containing increasing levels of glycerin. In the first experiment 50 quails were used, housed in metabolism cages. The treatments consisted of a reference diet and a test diet containing the replacement level of 10% glycerin, with five replications of five quails per replication. The value of apparent metabolisable energy corrected by nitrogen balance of glycerin was 3.069 kcal/kg. In the second experiment 640 quails were used, distributed in a completely randomized design, with five treatments (control diet and four levels = 4, 8, 12 and 16% of glycerin), four replications with 32 birds per replication. There were no differences (P>0.05) on feed intake and weight gain. The inclusion of glycerin (1 - 14 days of age) decrease feed:gain ratio. In the third experiment, 440 quails were used, distributed in a completely randomized design, with five treatments, with four replications with 22 birds per repetition. The treatments used were the same as the second trial. The feed intake increased linearly (P<0.05) with the increase in the levels of glycerin, however, weight gain and feed:gain ratio were not influenced. It follows that the semi-purified glycerin can be included in the diets of quail (15 - 35 days of age) in levels up to 16%.

ABSTRACT

Estimou-se a exigência de treonina digestível (ThrD) para codornas de corte (Coturnix coturnix sp.) em fase de crescimento no período de 15 a 35 dias de idade. Foram utilizadas 1020 codornas com 15 dias de idade, não sexadas, distribuídas em um delineamento experimental inteiramente ao acaso, com seis porcentagens de adição de treonina digestível - 0,93; 1,00; 1,07; 1,14; 1,21 e 1,28% na dieta - , cinco repetições e 34 codornas por unidade experimental. Não houve efeito sobre o desempenho, o rendimento e a composição química da carcaça e sobre o balanço de nitrogênio com o aumento da porcentagem de treonina digestível na dieta. Houve aumento linear no consumo de treonina e no custo da ração por quilograma de peso vivo ganho com o aumento da porcentagem de treonina digestível. Concluiu-se que o melhor nível de treonina digestível avaliado foi suficiente para atender as exigências de codornas de corte, no período de 15 a 35 dias de idade.


The digestible threonine (DThr) requirements for meat quails (Coturnix coturnix sp) during growing phase from 15 to 35 days of age were estimated, using 1,020 quails with 15 days of age, of both sexes, distributed in a completely randomized design, with six levels of digestible threonine - 0.93; 1.00; 1.07; 1.14; 1.21 and 1.28% in diet, five replications and 34 quails per experimental unit. There was no effect on performance variables, carcass yield and chemical composition and nitrogen balance with the studied increase in digestible threonine levels. There was a linear increase in threonine intake andfeed cost per kilogram of body weight gain with increasing levels of digestible threonine. It was concluded that the best level of threonine evaluated was sufficient to meet the requirements of meat quails, in the period from 15 to 35.
