Uso da L-glutamina e do zinco em dietas de frangos de corte para reduzir os efeitos do estresse por calor / Use of L-glutamine and zinc in chicken diets to reduce the effects of heat stress / Uso de L-glutamina y zinc en dietas de pollo para reducir los efectos del estrés por calor

Em consequência dos efeitos do estresse por calor sobre a produção de frangos de corte e visando contribuir para que o país continue em posição de destaque na produção e exportação de carne de frango, pesquisas vêm sendo realizadas em busca de novos meios, principalmente relacionados à nutrição, que possibilitem a redução dos efeitos deletérios de condições ambientais adversas, e dentre esses se destaca a utilização de minerais, vitaminas e aminoácidos. Objetivou-se com essa revisão de literatura apresentar a utilização da L-glutamina e do zinco em dietas para frangos de corte visando reduzir os efeitos do estresse por calor.(AU)

As a result of the effects of heat stress on the production of broiler chickens and aiming to contribute to the country remaining in a prominent position in the production and export of chicken meat, researches have been carried out in search of new means, mainly related to nutrition, which make it possible to reduce the deleterious effects of adverse environmental conditions, among which the use of minerals, vitamins and amino acids stands out. The aim of this literature review was to present the use of L-glutamine and zinc in diets for broilers in order to reduce the effects of heat stress.(AU)

Como resultado de los efectos del estrés por calor en la producción de pollos de engorde y con el objetivo de contribuir a que el país permanezca en una posición destacada en la producción y exportación de carne de pollo, se han llevado a cabo investigaciones en busca de nuevos medios, principalmente relacionados con la nutrición, que permiten reducir los efectos nocivos de las condiciones ambientales adversas, entre las que destaca el uso de minerales, vitaminas y aminoácidos. El objetivo de esta revisión de la literatura fue presentar el uso de L-glutamina y zinc en las dietas para pollos de engorde para reducir los efectos del estrés por calor.(AU)

Effect of an enzymatic blend and yeast on the performance, carcass yield and histomorphometry of the small intestine in broilers from 21 to 42 days of age

The present study was conducted to evaluate the performance, carcass yield, and histomorphometry of the small intestine of broilers fed yeast sugarcane supplemented with enzymatic blend from 22 to 42 days of age. Seven hundred broiler chicks were distributed in a completely randomized design in a factorial design (2x3+1), two levels of the enzyme blend (0 and 200 g/ton), three protein levels (0%, 6% and 12%) and a control diet. The level of 6% yeast showed higher feed intake and weight gain after 33 days. From 22 to 42 days there was no significant effect (p<0.05) to the use of yeast in animal performance, carcass yield and cuts. At 42 days an interaction between the factors for width and crypt depth in the duodenum and jejunum, respectively, was observed. The inclusion of yeast in the diets for broilers from 22 to 42 days did not affect the performance and yield of the carcass. Yeast increased the muscle wall of the jejunum. The use of the enzymatic blend did not influence performance but affected the integrity of the intestinal mucosa.(AU)
