“…This could be due to the another strain (Light Sussex) and productive level used by the mentioned authors, which was different from the present study [ 22 ]. According to Salas et al [ 23 ] and Attia et al [ 2 ], broiler breeders during the peak of production have a high protein catabolism rate to prioritize the egg formation. Even under fasting conditions, this period was not enough to interrupt the egg production; the birds mobilize body reserve to supply nutrients, mainly energy, to form the next egg.…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the ad libitum and restricted feeding regimen on fasting heat production (FHP) and body composition.Methods: Twelve Hubbard broilers breeders were selected with the same body weight and submitted in two feeding regimes: Restricted (T1) with feed intake of 150 g/bird/d and ad libitum (T2). The birds were randomly distributed on the treatments in two runs with three replications per treatment (per run). The birds were adapted to the feed regimens for ten days. After that, they were allocated in the open-circuit chambers and kept for three days for adaptation. On the last day, oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) were measured by 30 h under fasting. The respiratory quotient (RQ) was calculated as the VCO2/VO2 ratio, and the heat production (HP) was obtained using the Brower equation (1985). The FHP was estimated throughout the plateau of HP 12 hours after the feed deprivation. The body composition was analyzed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning at the end of each period. Data were analyzed for one-way analysis of variance using the Minitab software.Results: The daily feed intake was 30 g higher to T2 (p<0.01) than the T1. Also, the birds of the T2 had significatively (p<0.05) more oxygen consumption (+3.1 L/kg0.75/d) and CO2 production (+2.2 L/kg0.75/d). That resulted in a higher FHP 359±14 kJ/kg0.75/d for T2 than T1 296±17.23 kJ/kg0.75/d. In contrast, the RQ was not different between treatments, with an average of 0.77 for the fasting condition. In addition, protein and fat composition were not affected by the treatment, while a tendency (p<0.1) was shown to higher bone mineral content on the T1.Conclusion: The birds under ad libitum feeding had a higher maintenance energy requirement but their body composition was not affected compared to restricted feeding.

“…The dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry ( DEXA ) technique has been used with IC to provide a better understanding about dynamics of energy utilization, its partitioning and deposit in different parts of the body as different tissues (Swennen et al, 2004a ; Caldas et al, 2018 ). While body composition data for poultry is traditionally determined by whole carcass grinding (comparative slaughter technique) through wet chemistry analysis, the DEXA method is recommended as a reliable and non-invasive alternative for in vivo measurements of the body composition of broilers (Mitchell et al, 1997 ; Swennen et al, 2004a ; Salas et al, 2012 ), laying hens (Schreiweis et al, 2005 ), and broiler breeders (Salas et al, 2012 ; Caldas et al, 2018 ). These non-invasive techniques are useful for gross muscle mass and depot fat measurements.…”

Different energy evaluating systems have been used to formulate poultry diets including digestible energy, total digestible nutrients, true metabolizable energy, apparent metabolizable energy ( AME ), and effective energy. The AME values of raw materials are most commonly used to formulate poultry diets. The net energy ( NE ) system is currently used for pig and cattle diet formulation and there is interest for its application in poultry formulation. Each energy evaluating system has some limitations. The AME system, for example, is dependent on age, species, and feed intake level. The NE system takes AME a step further and incorporates the energy lost as heat when calculating the available energy for the production of meat and eggs. The NE system is, therefore, the most accurate representation of energy available for productive purposes. The NE prediction requires the accurate measurement of the AME value of feed and also an accurate measurement of total and fasting heat production using nutritionally balanced diets. At present, there is limited information on NE values of various ingredients for poultry feed formulation. The aim of this review is to examine poultry feed energy systems with the focus on the NE system and its development for chickens.

“…Curcumin, according to Rahim et al (2014) and Ghalandarlaki et al (2014), can shorten the acid cycle in the stomach and accelerate blood sugar release from body cells. The low level of sugar in the blood triggers a faster cycle of hunger in chickens, which helps reduce stress risk (Devaraj et al, 2010;Salas et al, 2012). Stimulating hunger in chickens should spur the efficiency of chicken feeding, and they can reach a higher percentage of carcass weight than general maintenance time on that account.…”
