1. The endogenous energy (EEL) and nitrogen losses of adult cockerels were studied during both when the animals were starved and when they were fed on a highly digestible nitrogen-free diet. The birds were fed three intakes by intubation and the effects of these intakes were compared. 2. During the 48-h study, the excretion of energy (EEL) was found to be 49.4 kJ, when the birds were given food. When starved this estimate was considerably higher, 70.3 kJ. 3. When endogenous energy per 48 h was corrected to zero nitrogen balance (EEL0), the value of starved animals of 30.1 kJ was still considerably higher than the 13.4 kJ for fed birds. 4. It was concluded that feeding a nitrogen free, highly digestible diet reduces the excretion of endogenous energy. Thus determinations from starved birds appear to give biased estimates of EEL and EEL0. Hence, true metabolisable energy values would also be overestimated where endogenous energy values from starved birds were used. 相似文献

1. Experiments were conducted to determine the differences in the energy utilisation of adult hens and cockerels of a layer (Rhode Island Red) and a broiler line (Cornish). The effect of 2 different precision-feeding methodologies (wet and dry-feeding) were also compared. Birds were fasted for 24 h, precision fed with 35 g dry or 33.5 g wet corn and fasted for a further 48 h period. Excreta were collected during this period. 2. Non of the parameters (method, sex, line) had a significant effect on the ME content of maize. However, a significant interaction was found between the sex of the birds and the methodology used. Females of both genetic lines utilised the energy content of maize more efficiently than males. The opposite was found when the wet precision-feeding method was used. 3. Weight loss and endogenous energy excretions (EEL) of birds were also effected by sex and genotype. Cockerels of both lines had significantly greater EEL than females. However, since hens lost less nitrogen, the nitrogen corrected EEL (EELn) was higher for the hens. 相似文献

1. Endogenous losses of amino acids (EAAL) and energy (EEL) were determined in unfed adult cockerels. The intercepts of linear regression analysis were determined using 44 birds precision-fed on maize. During the experimental period (48 h), excreta of birds were collected, and the samples of maize and the excreta were dried, ground and assayed for gross energy and amino acids. 2. The EAAL and EEL in unfed cockerels influenced true available amino acid (TAAA) values. Therefore, the intercept of regressions showed an increase in TAAA values of maize. 3. The results indicated that there was no significant difference between the data obtained for EEL from the unfed birds and from regression analysis so, the figure from regression analysis could be used for calculating the true metabolisable energy (TME) value of maize. 4. The calculated EAAL from regression analysis caused an increase in the TAAA value in maize. The amounts of metabolic and endogenous amino acid excretions varied in voided excreta from unfed birds. These differences would be related to genetics, age, sex and environmental temperatures. 相似文献

1. Several different methods of assaying the metabolisable energy (ME) of ground maize and a maize and glucose mixture were studied. Over a 24‐h period fasted cockerels lost more energy and nitrogen in their excreta than those fed 15 g maize and 15 g glucose monohydrate. 2. Discrepancies in ME values of maize were found between 1) Hill's method (substitution for glucose) and 2) Sibbald's method (the difference between energy ingested and excreted, corrected for endogenous losses by a comparison with fasted controls). These discrepancies were attributed to differences in endogenous energy losses between fed and fasted birds and interactions between the test substance and reference diet. 3. No significant differences could be detected when substitution for glucose was compared to substitution for the entire diet in three experiments. 4. Significant differences in the ME of maize because of the composition of the basal diet were found (semi‐purified: practical; 17·20:14·56 kJ/g; and 50 g/kg added fat: 100 g/kg added fat; 15·94:16·69 kJ/g). 5. Food intakes equal to 70, 60 or 30% of ad libitum did not affect the ME of maize when the substitution for glucose method was used. 6. It is concluded that basal diets for ME determinations should be carefully selected because of possible interactions between dietary components. When ME is determined by feeding small amounts of the test material, endogenous losses may be over‐estimated because the control birds are in a different physiological state (fasted). 相似文献

Two series of balance trials were performed with adult cockerels and with broiler chickens during their 5th week of life, and one with adult colostomised hens. The latter served to determine the digestibility of protein of the diet under test. All birds were fed the same diet with one exception: in the case of colostomised hens limestone (100 g/kg) was added before feeding. The main purpose of the experiments was to compare the Sibbald procedure for determining the so-called true metabolisable energy (TME) with apparent metabolisable energy (AME) or TME values obtained by applying a conventional addition method (CAM). The results showed that the Sibbald procedure was less precise than CAM. The Sibbald procedure delivered incorrect TME and AME values, the reason for this being the use of starved birds. This led not only to wrong intercepts but also to misleading regression coefficients in the regression equations used to calculate energy excretion on food intake. In CAM there existed no differences between AME and TME. This was not true for the Sibbald procedure, in which AME values differed considerably from TME values. Because of the errors inherent in the Sibbald procedure it is suggested that it should be replaced by CAM, in which several feeding inputs should be used. 相似文献

1. The apparent metabolisable energy (AME) and the true metabolisable energy (TME) contents of some feedingstuffs were determined with cockerels. The test materials consisted of feed‐grade lentil, lentil bran and wild vetch seed. 2. The average values of nitrogen lost, endogenous energy losses (EEL) and endogenous energy losses corrected to zero‐nitrogen balance (EELn) were found to be 1.18 g, 62.13 kJ and 21.51 kJ/bird/48h, respectively, from adult cockerels given an energy supply as 50 g glucose during starvation. 3. The nitrogen‐corrected apparent metabolisable energy (AMEn) values for feed‐grade lentil, lentil bran and wild vetch seed, respectively, were 6.84, 3.05 and 14.31 kJ/g dry matter. The nitrogen‐corrected true metabolisable energy (TMEn) values for the respective feedingstuffs were 7.44, 3.65 and 14.90 kJ/g dry matter. 相似文献

1. The efficiency of utilisation of metabolisable energy (ME) for maintenance (k(m)) from diets containing maize and broken rice (BR) at 500 g/kg was studied in old White Leghorn (WL) and Rhode Island Red (RIR) laying hens using the respiration calorimetry technique. The maize-based diet contained 180.8 g crude protein (CP)/kg and 16.4 MJ gross energy (GE)/kg while the BR-based diet contained 173.2 g CP/kg and 16.3 MJ GE/kg. Diets were fed for 10 d, while an energy and nitrogen metabolism study was conducted during 3 d on an ad libitum-fed diet followed by another 3 d on two-thirds of the ad libitum-fed quantity. 2. ME values for the maize- and BR-based diets for WL hens were 73.3% and 77.6% of the GE, whereas for the RIR hens these were 77.7% and 80.0%, respectively. 3. Fasting heat productions, determined at the end of 24 h fast for WL and RIR hens were 473.2 and 366.1 kJ/kg W0.75/d, respectively. During fasting WL and RIR hens utilised body energy reserves with efficiencies of 84.9% and 73.7%, respectively. 4. The k(m) of maize- and BR-based diets for the WL hens were 81.6% and 79.6%, whereas for the RIR hens these were 74.2% and 76.0%, respectively. 5. ME for maintenance of WL and RIR hens were 589 and 499.6 kJ/kg W0.75/d, respectively. 6. It is concluded that although WL and RIR hens differ significantly in energy metabolism, their efficiency of utilisation of energy from maize- and BR-based diets are similar. 相似文献

1. Adult cockerels were trained to consume their daily food allowance of about 100 g in 1 h. Excreta were collected for the next 24 h and the metabolisable energy (ME) content of the diet was determined. 2. Two different diets were used to study effects of ME on adaptation to diet. Repeatable estimates of ME were obtained without a period of adaptation. 3. No difference in ME was found when a test diet was fed to adult cockerels for 1 h, or fed continuously and excreta collected over 5 d. The conventional total collection method of determining ME using groups of growing chickens yielded similar results. 4. Excreta collected between 24 and 48, or 48 and 72 h post‐feeding yielded constant energy values following feeding of two different diets, indicating that all excreta from the 1‐h feeding were voided during the next 24 h. 5. The method is precise and results can be reported 36 h after receipt of food sample. 相似文献

1. A common reference procedure adopted by several European laboratories to determine apparent metabolisable energy corrected to zero-nitrogen balance (AMEn) is described. 2. Reproducibility has been estimated by comparing results from 4 diets measured in 7 laboratories. The standard deviations between laboratories of dry matter, gross energy, Kjeldahl nitrogen and AMEn were respectively, on average, 11.29 g/kg, 0.242 MJ/kg, 1.56 g/kg and 0.380 MJ/kg dry matter; the corresponding coefficients of variation between laboratories were 1.27, 1.29, 4.39 and 2.92%. 3. Effect of food intake was tested by comparing AMEn from birds fed either 0.90 or 0.45 of ad libitum: the amount of food intake had a negligible effect on AMEn values. Endogenous energy losses corrected (EELn) or not (EEL) to zero nitrogen balance were estimated either by regression between excreted energy and ingested energy or in fasted and glucose-fed cockerels. EELn estimated by regression was, on average, 8.7 kJ/bird/d.; it was independent of diet composition. EEL and EELn determined in fasted or glucose-fed birds were higher than those determined by regression. 4. AMEn values measured by individual laboratory procedures were very close to those obtained by the reference method, except from laboratories using a tube feeding procedure, where deviations were probably a consequence of overestimated EEL. 相似文献

1. The yields of true metabolisable energy (TME) and net energy (NE) from chaya leaf meal and wheatfeed were mcasured in tube-fed cockerels. 2. TME, 5.76 MJ/kg, from chava leaf meal was lower than from wheatfeed, 8.39 MJ/kg. The total heat increment attributable to the feeding of chaya leaf meal was 1-7 times greater than that of wheatfeed. 3. The net efficiency of utilisation of ME (k) from chaya leaf meal was 0.64, while that from wheatfeed was 0.86. The role of different chemical composition, especially the high fibre content of the materials, is discussed. 4. The metabolisable energy and net energy values derived from chava leaf meal represented 0.34 and 0.23 respectively of its gross energy content. The combination of lower TME and lower net efficiency of utilisation led to chaya having a NE value, 3.86 MJ/kg, which was only 0.53 that of wheatfeed. 相似文献

1. A precision feeding experiment was conducted with turkeys, which had previously been fed diets with or without phytase, to study the effects on the excretions of endogenous energy (EEL), nitrogen (ENL), amino acids (EAAL) and minerals. 2. Female turkeys (BUT 6) which had been fed one of 4 experimental diets (low P maize-soya diets (control, C), C + 250 international units of phytase/kg diet (FTU), C + 500 FTU and C + 2500 FTU) were used in this study. All birds were fasted and then given 50 mL of glucose solution at 46 d of age. Birds were allocated to individual metabolism cages in a randomised block design with 8 replicates for each of the 4 previously-fed diets. 3. The response of EEL and ENL to phytase pre-exposure was linear. An increase of 100 FTU reduced the EEL and ENL by approximately 1·6 kJ and 20 mg respectively. The results suggest that a minimum activity of phytase of 500 FTU is needed to initiate the reduction of these losses. 4. Pre-exposure to phytase reduced the EAAL, which was best described as a linear response with increasing phytase dose in the pre-study period. An increase of 100 FTU reduced the losses of total endogenous amino acids by approximately 225 mg. 5. In contrast to the results for endogenous energy losses, turkeys pre-exposed to phytase linearly increased their excretions of Ca and Mg with increasing phytase activity in the pre-study period. 6. The effects of feeding turkeys with supplementary phytase continued for at least 4 d after the diets were withdrawn. This suggests that exposure to phytase alters the functionality and secretions of the gastrointestinal tract, which may influence the nutritive value of diets fed immediately after. 相似文献

The effect of metabolisable energy (ME) intake on the growth and utilisation of dietary protein and energy in germ-free (GF) and conventional (CV) chicks was investigated in two experiments. In experiment 1 a high energy diet (HED, 14.8 kJ ME/g) and a marginally-adequate energy diet (AED, 11.7 kJ ME/g) were fed to the GF and CV chicks at 240 g/2 birds/10 d. In experiment 2 a diet with 13.7 kJ ME/g was fed at 118 g (low level, LL) or 128 g (high level, HL)/bird/10 d. Body weight gain, protein retention and protein retention rate were similar in GF and CV chicks on both AED and HED in the first experiment, but in the second were higher in GF than in CV chicks. The increased ME intake of the CV chicks in experiment 2 may be too small to compensate for the increased requirement. ME intake was significantly higher in the CV chicks than in the GF chicks, whereas energy retention was similar in both groups. 相似文献

Experimental mashes containing different proportions of maize, wheat, barley and oats were fed to young broiler chickens and turkeys. Metabolisable energy (ME) determinations were carried out from 5 to 7 and from 19 to 21 d of age. The turkeys obtained 3.2 and 1.7% more metabolisable energy than chicks from the diets used when assessed on a classical ME and N‐corrected ME basis respectively. The difference was smaller when maize formed a major part of the diet than for the other cereals. Higher ME values were also obtained in the older birds but the effect was not reproducible. 相似文献

This experiment investigates the changes in the plasma leptin levels of sheep fed a diet of three energy levels (low, moderate and high). Four mature wethers were used for this experiment. For the first 4 weeks, the sheep were fed diets to provide 1.2 times the maintenance metabolizable energy requirements, low energy levels (LE). During the second 4 weeks, the sheep were fed diets to provide 1.5 times the maintenance metabolizable energy requirements, moderate energy levels (ME). During third 4‐week period, the sheep were fed a diet to provide 1.8 times the maintenance metabolizable energy requirements, high energy levels (HE). Body weight was determined every week. Blood samples were collected prior to the morning meal at 3 days intervals throughout the experiment, and plasma leptin, insulin and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations were assayed. Body weight decreased in week 1 after the start of the experiment, it continued to decrease during the LE feeding, but it gradually increased until the end of HE period. Similarly, plasma leptin concentration decreased during LE feeding, but increased during the HE feeding. Additionally, positive correlation was obtained between leptin and insulin or glucose concentrations, whereas no clear relationship with circulating NEFA was observed. In conclusion, it was suggested that plasma leptin concentrations were affected by the metabolizable energy in feed. 相似文献

1. Laying performance, egg quality, fertility and hatchability, and fat deposition in liver and abdomen were recorded in broiler breeders (29 to 48 weeks of age) fed on diets containing perarl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) (PM), broken rice (BR) or yellow maize (YM) (600 g/kg diet). Constant ratios of metabolisable energy (ME) to other nutrients were maintained in all the diets. Food grade choline chloride (50%) was added to the diets at 3 concentrations (0, 760 and 1,520 mg/kg). Each diet was offered to 3 replicate groups of 15 birds (12 hens and 3 cockerels), maintained in deep litter pens, to provide 1.46 MJ ME/bird/d. 2. Neither the source of energy nor dietary choline content had any influence on hen-d egg production, fertility or hatchability. Food efficiency and egg weight were significantly reduced in BR-fed groups compared to those fed on the other energy sources. 3. The efficiency of energy and protein utilisation increased and liver fat content was decreased significantly by dietary choline supplementation. 4. Haugh unit score, egg shell weight, liver weight and intestinal weight were not influenced by either supplementary choline or the source of energy. However, the yolk colour index was significantly reduced in PM- or BR-fed groups compared to those fed on the maize-based diet. 5. Deposition of abdominal fat was significantly greater in BR-fed birds compared to those fed on the YM-based diet, while liver fat content was significantly greater in the birds fed on the PM-or BR-based diets than those based on YM. Although supplementation of the diet with choline had no influence on abdominal fat deposition, liver fat content was significantly reduced in birds given diet containing 760 mg supplemental choline/kg diet. 6. The present study indicates that PM or BR can be used as principal energy sources in place of YM in broiler breeder diets without affecting egg production, fertility or hatchability. Liver fat content can be reduced by adding choline at 760 mg/kg to diets based on different energy sources. 相似文献

1. The objective of this study was to determine a metabolisable energy (ME) requirement model for broiler breeder hens. The influence of temperature on ME requirements for maintenance was determined in experiments conducted in three environmental rooms with temperatures kept constant at 13, 21 and 30 degrees C using a comparative slaughter technique. The energy requirements for weight gain were determined based upon body energy content and efficiency of energy utilisation for weight gain. The energy requirements for egg production were determined on the basis of egg energy content and efficiency of energy deposition in the eggs. 2. The following model was developed using these results: ME = kgW0.75(806.53-26.45T + 0.50T2) + 31.90G + 10.04EM, where kgW0.75 is body weight (kg) raised to the power 0.75, T is temperature ( degrees C), G is weight gain (g) and EM is egg mass (g). 3. A feeding trial was conducted using 400 Hubbard Hi-Yield broiler breeder hens and 40 Peterson males from 31 to 46 weeks of age in order to compare use of the model with a recommended feeding programme for this strain of bird. The application of the model in breeder hens provided good productive and reproductive performance and better results in feed and energy conversion than in hens fed according to strain recommendation. In conclusion, the model evaluated predicted an ME intake which matched breeder hens' requirements. 相似文献

In respiration experiments with 16 piglets the effect of feeding level on energy metabolism was studied with the aim of estimating energy requirement and costs of protein and fat deposition. Four groups of 4 animals each were fed on different levels of digestible protein and metabolisable energy (ME). Group 1 was fed intensively, whereas the piglets of group 2, 3 and 4 received 92, 76 and 55% respectively of the amounts given to group 1. In the group 1-4 mean daily weight gain was 457, 437, 360 and 205 g respectively. As a consequence the rearing period increased from 44 days to 46, 56 and 98 days. The variation in feed intake affected not only significant differences in energy deposition but also changes in gain composition. In the groups 1-4 the average energy deposition was 4.2 MJ, 4.0 MJ, 3.0 MJ and 1.4 MJ per day and protein gain exceeded fat gain in all groups. Estimations of energy requirement for maintenance were carried out by means of multiple regression analysis using different models. As a result a value of 428 MJ ME per kg live weight 0.75 was obtained and the models used have hardly shown any influence. It seems that higher values for maintenance requirement, as formerly published, are due to different conditions of livestock management, such as temperature. For all groups the average efficiency of ME-utilisation for growth was 0.77, ranging from 0.73 to 0.82. The variation can be attributed to the changes in protein and fat formation. The groups with a higher proportion of protein in the accretion utilised metabolisable energy more efficiently than the intensively fed group 1 with the highest proportion of fat, the difference between the groups being in the range from 0.73 to 0.82. The efficiency of ME-utilisation for protein deposition was calculated to be 0.83 and for fat deposition 0.73. As a higher coefficient for fat formation may be expected in the light of the high fat content in the ration, calculations with an assumed coefficient from 0.75 and 0.80 had been carried out, showing that the efficiency of ME-utilisation for protein gain would only decrease to 0.79 and 0.73 respectively. According to these results the statement must be called in question, that the energetic efficiency of protein deposition of about 50 to 55% - as measured in numerous experiments mainly with older pigs - can generally be accepted. 相似文献

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the dietary effects of Cr propionate (CrProp) and metabolizable energy (ME) on growth, carcass traits, and pork quality of growing-finishing pigs. One hundred forty-four Cambrough-22 barrows were allotted to four dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design (six replicates of six pigs per replicate; average initial and final body weight were 27 and 113 kg, respectively). The dietary treatments were: 1) corn-soybean meal basal (B; low ME), 2) B + 200 ppb of Cr (as CrProp), 3) B + 200 kcal ME/kg (4.5% added fat; high ME), or 4) B + 200 kcal ME/kg + 200 ppb of Cr. At trial termination, three pigs per replicate were killed to determine dietary effects on carcass traits and pork quality. Overall average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and gain:feed ratio were not affected (P > 0.10) by diet. During the early growing period, average daily gain was increased in pigs fed the CrProp-low-ME diets, but decreased in pigs fed the CrProp-high ME diets (Cr x ME, P < 0.04). Feed intake was increased (P < 0.05) in pigs fed the high-ME diets during the early growing period. Forty-five min and 24 h pH were not affected (P > 0.10) by diet. The CIE L* tended (P = 0.07) to be increased and shear force tended (P = 0.06) to be decreased in pigs fed high-ME diets. Subjective marbling was increased (P < 0.03) and longissimus muscle percentage moisture and thaw loss were decreased (P < 0.04) in pigs fed CrProp. Chromium propionate had no consistent effect on growth and carcass traits in this experiment; however, CrProp did affect some aspects of pork quality. 相似文献

(1) The nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolisable energy (AME(N)) content of solvent-extracted rapeseed and sunflower seed (un-decorticated) meals in relation to species (chicken, guinea fowl and quail) and dietary addition of feed enzymes (0 or 0.5 g/kg diet) was evaluated by a diet replacement method in a 3 x 2 factorial design. (2) The metabolism trial was conducted at two substitution levels (200 and 400 g/kg diet) of each meal with or without supplementation of commercial enzyme preparation in 6 individuals or 6 groups of cockerels, guinea fowls and quails. (3) The experimental diets were fed for a period of 12 d followed by a 3-d collection period during which total feed consumed and droppings output were quantitatively recorded. (4) The AME(N) values of rapeseed meal for cockerels, guinea fowls and quails were 8.4, 8.7 and 8.8 MJ/kg, respectively, while the corresponding values for sunflower seed meal were 6.1, 6.1 and 6.2 MJ/kg dry matter, without enzyme supplementation. (5) The AME(N) value of rapeseed meal did not improve with enzyme supplementation. However, AME(N) values of sunflower seed meal significantly increased with enzyme supplementation, from 6.1 to 6.5 MJ/kg dry matter. (6) Since AME(N) values of rapeseed meal and sunflower seed meal were similar in chicken, guinea fowl and quail, values reported for chicken could, therefore, be used for guinea fowl and Japanese quail. 相似文献
