Digestibilities of amino acids in maize, wheat and barley meals, determined with intact and caecectomised cockerels

Abstract: 1. Maize, wheat and barley meals, and a protein-free diet were each force-fed to 24 intact and 24 caecectomised adult cockerels. For each test, birds were starved of solid food for 48 h, fed, and then excreta collected for 48 h. 2. Quantities of nitrogen (N) and amino acids excreted after feeding the protein-free diet did not differ between intact and caecectomised birds. 3. True digestibility coefficients of N and amino acids did not differ between intact and caecectomised birds. 4. Differences between cereal… Show more

“…However, Sibbald (1980) concluded that the variation in the TME values of different foodstuffs was more dependent on rate of passage. Measured AID of amino acids were lower than reported in previous studies (Green et al, 1987;Grühn et al, 1989;Almirall et al, 1995;Dalibard and Paillard, 1995), which may be a result of the differences between digestibility assays. Digestibility of lysine, methionine and threonine in barley can vary between 60% and 99%.…”

“…For lysine, methionine and threonine, the mean daily intakes from the basal diet and test ingredients were 9·6, 2·5 and 6·1 and 0·7, 0·5 and 1·0, respectively. Green et al, (1987) noticed that the higher the intake of an amino acid, the higher the apparent digestibility. At relatively low intakes, small differences in supply will have a profound influence on differences in digestibility values, since endogenous losses contribute a large proportion of total excreta.…”

“…Twenty-two of these birds were caecectomized, and the remaining 18 were each subjected to a sham laparotomy. The surgical procedure for the caecectomy operation has been previously described in detail (Green, Bertrand, Duron and Maillard, 1987b). After 8 weeks, six of the caecectomized birds were killed and examined to see whether the caeca had regrown.…”

“…To avoid increased cecal amino acid production, ileal content collection, cecectomy, and accurate feeding techniques are suggested to predict amino acid digestibility [49,50,[65][66][67]. In addition, fasting [65], used in the precise feeding technique, is criticized by several authors, since fasting animals have paterns of endogenous loss of amino acids diferent from fed animals.…”
