Evaluation of Extra-Phosphoric Effects of Phytase on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Phytate Degradation, Plasma Inositol Concentrations, Gene Expression of Hypothalamic Appetite Hormones, and Catecholamine Concentrations in Broiler Production
(2020-07-17)
Phytase is an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of phytate at the carbon-phosphate linkage. Commonly, phytase is added in poultry diets at 500 to 1,000 phytase units (FTU)/kg to liberate phosphorus from phytate. However, ...
Evaluation of Feed Manufacturing on Feed Quality, Performance, Nutrient Utilization and Carcass Characteristics of Broilers
(2020-11-17)
Previous studies have shown corn particle size and feed form manipulation influence broiler performance, gizzard development, nutrient utilization, and carcass characteristics. It is well-known that feeding pellets reduces ...
Evaluation of Nutrition and Management Factors in the Etiology of Pododermatitis in Broiler Chickens
(2006-12-15)
The influence of nutrition and management factors in the etiology of pododermatitis (paw burns) was evaluated in three trials. Broilers of mixed sex were raised on four experimental diets with varying protein levels (high ...
Evaluation of physical and chemical characteristics, organoleptic attributes of sustainable use of broiler and beef co-products in the manufacture of pet treats through the utilization of a structure-forming technology
(2021-12-01)
Pet food market growth has led to increased demands for animal co-products. Evaluation of quality characteristics of pet treats developed from these co-products is necessary. Three experiments were conducted to assess ...
Evaluation of Poultry Meat Safety and Quality using Peracetic Acid in Poultry Chillers
(2015-12-10)
Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. continue to be pathogens of concern in poultry processing as they are the leading foodborne illnesses associated with bacteria in foods. In the poultry processing industry, multiple ...
Evaluation of poultry transport flooring cleaning methods for the reduction of Salmonella and Campylobacter
(2023-08-09)
In response to unsuccessful efforts to reduce human Salmonella infections associated with poultry products, new approaches have been proposed by the FSIS. These include implementing risk analysis and the potential for ...
Evaluation of Subtyping Methods for the Characterization of Campylobacter Strains from Different Geographical Areas
(2008-12-15)
Bacterial foodborne diseases are a common cause of lost productivity for industrially developed nations. In developing nations, these illnesses can be deadly for the young, elderly, and immunocompromised. The ability to ...
Evaluation of the Efficacy of NuPro®-Yeast Extract in Reducing Intestinal Clostridium perfringens Levels in Broiler Chickens
(2010-07-07)
The etiological agent of necrotic enteritis (NE) is Clostridium perfringens (CP). Traditionally, NE is controlled with in-feed antibiotics. However, increasing consumer demand for drug-free poultry has fostered the search ...
