The Development and Validation of Prediction Equations for the Apparent Metabolizable Energy of Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Broilers 

Meloche, Kathryn Jean (2013-10-28)
The objective of this research was to develop regression equations that accurately predict the AMEn content of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) samples varying in ether extract content and to cross-validate ...

Effects of Corn Varying in Extractable Salt-Soluble Protein Content with Phytase and Xylanase Supplementation on Growth Performance and Nutrient and Energy Digestibility of Broilers Fed Diets Adequate in Calcium and Non-Phytate Phosphorus 

Gehring, Curran (2012-11-15)
Extractable salt-soluble protein content can be assayed rapidly to help identify corn that may have been improperly dried or stored. Research indicates a relationship between this variable and broiler performance. ...

Effects of Supplemental Xylanase in Corn- and Wheat-Based Diets on Growth Performance and Cecal Volatile Fatty Acid Concentrations of Broilers during a Six-Week Production Period 

McCafferty, Klinton Wesley (2018-06-26)
Supplemental xylanase has increasingly become an important part of diet formulation due to its ability to mitigate the anti-nutritive effects of arabinoxylans, increase energy utilization, and improve growth performance ...

Nutritional strategies for mitigating wooden breast and white striping myopathies of the Pectoralis major muscles in broiler chickens 

Meloche, Kathryn (2017-04-17)
Throughout the last decade, broiler producers have increasingly noted the presence of wooden breast (WB) and white striping (WS) in the Pectoralis major muscles (breast fillet) of broilers. Non-genetic factors, such as ...
