“…Without preservation, this feed material exhibited an increasing pH level (from 5.0 to 5.9) until 41 h, consequently enhancing the possibility of Enterobacteriaceae proliferation due to the limitation of lactic acid bacteria populations and the reduction in lactic acid production [ 26 , 27 ]. To date, there are limited data that evaluate high-moisture maize in animal nutrition; however, some works utilizing swine [ 28 , 29 ], broiler chickens [ 30 ], laying hens [ 31 ], turkeys [ 10 ], and waterfowl [ 32 ] have discussed the effects of high-moisture maize. The usage of high-moisture maize in poultry diets resulted in no detrimental effects on the growth performance, GIT physiological status, and redox status of the blood [ 10 ].…”

“…These results were in accordance with those of Konieczka et al [ 10 ], Lu et al [ 36 ], and Kokoszynski et al [ 37 ]; however, in those trials, no dilution of nutrients was applied. Additionally, some negative changes in BW and average daily gain were observed in mule ducks with whole maize and triticale grain use from 57 to 87 d of age [ 32 ]. Furthermore, Singh et al [ 38 ] reported that the addition of whole wheat grains to broiler diets adversely affected the BWG and FI.…”

“…In general, the addition of whole grain in poultry diets resulted in enhanced gizzard development [ 32 , 36 , 39 ]. Nevertheless, in the present study, generally, no influence of whole maize was observed on the selected internal organs, as well as on the GIT measurements, including those of the gizzard.…”

This study aimed to investigate the effect of chemically preserved, high-moisture whole maize grain addition in Pekin duck diets on their growth performance and selected internal organ and gastrointestinal tract measurements and digesta pH values. A total of 300 29-d-old male Pekin ducks were randomly distributed into three dietary treatments using five replicate pens per group and 20 birds per pen. The following treatment groups were applied: CON—basal diet, 5HM—5% of high-moisture, chemically preserved whole maize (HM) inclusion, and 10HM—10% of HM addition. The experiment lasted 21 d. The implementation of 5HM or 10HM did not affect (p > 0.05) the growth performance parameters, selected internal organ weights, and the gastrointestinal tract segment weights and lengths. However, significant changes in terms of the gizzard (p = 0.005), ileum (p = 0.030), and caecal (p < 0.001) digesta pH were observed, especially in the case of the 10HM group, which exhibited the greatest increase in pH in the gizzard and caecal digesta and decrease in the ileal digesta pH. The implementation of whole wet maize may be used in waterfowl diets from 29 d of age. Additionally, chemical preservation can efficiently reduce the cost of maize preparation in duck nutrition.

| Feedstuffs and high temperature are the two major constraints for tropical poultry. The Separate Energetic Feeding (SEF) was suggested as an alternative to limit the harmful effects of the high temperature on the productivity of fowls under hot climate. To check this assumption, one hundred 8 -week-old chicks Guinea fowls were distributed in two groups. Each group was divided into two replicates of 25 birds each. The first group (control; n=50) received a conventional food containing 2953. 75 Kcal/kg metabolizable energy and 17. 31% crude protein. The second group (treatment group; n= 50) was separately fed with two fractions: (1) caloric feeding with 2141.75 Kcal/kg metabolizable energy and 4. 24% of crude protein and (2) crude proteins and mineral stuffs fraction containing 812 Kcal/kg metabolizable energy and 13.07% crude protein. Feed and water were offered ad libitum. The mean average live weight was significantly higher (P<0. 05) in guinea fowls fed with fractioned meals. Birds receiving a SEF reached the commercial body weight (BW) one week earlier than the control group (P<0. 05). The results show that the voluntary consumption of the energy fraction increased with age of birds in both groups but was moderately higher (P<0. 05) in the treated group. This study highlighted that SEF is an alternative to limit the harmful effect of heat stress in tropical climate and may be useful for poultry production in developing countries where formulated feeds and premixes are limited.

The aim of the present research has been to determine the effect of replacing a part of commercial compound feed with whole triticale grain on the body weight (BW), body measurements, feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass composition and meat quality of pheasants. The study involved 80 one-d-old common pheasants. From 71 to 112 d of rearing, two diets were administered: a complete commercial diet ad libitum for control pheasants and restricted amounts of a commercial diet (50%) and whole triticale grain (50%) for experimental pheasants. Each treatment consisted of 4 replications, 10 birds each. Introducing whole triticale grain did not cause significant changes in BW, body measurements, feed intake and FCR. The carcasses of 112-d-old pheasants fed whole triticale grain diet showed a significantly lower breast muscle content (%) and a significantly higher content of skin with subcutaneous fat and carcass remainders (p < .05). Breast muscles of pheasants fed commercial compound feed and whole triticale grain exhibited significantly higher hardness, chewiness and gumminess, more palmitic acid and zinc, as well as significantly less sodium, water, linoleic acid, paullinic acid, heptadeconoic acid. There were also significant changes in water and protein, the content of fatty acids in leg muscles, except for myristic acid, pentadecanoic acid, arachidonic acid and nervonic acid. Irrespective of the type of diet, males showed a significantly higher body weight, body measurements and carcass weight, and their breast muscles demonstrated significantly higher WB shear force and the amounts of protein, linoleic acid, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc.
