“…Interestingly, the effect of phytase supplementation on DM mirrored that of GE at the ileal and total tract levels. Studies have demonstrated that phytase could effectively facilitate energy utilization ( Shirley and Edwards, 2003 ; Olukosi et al, 2008 ; Adejumo et al, 2021 ), but contrary findings by Liu et al (2014) reported no noticeable improvement in apparent metabolizable energy when phytase was fed in a sorghum-based diet. Adding phytase to diets has been hypothesized to enhance energy utilization by increasing the digestibility of amino acids when phytate complexes are broken down ( Adejumo et al, 2021 ).…”

However, despite the improved CP digestibility on d 10 and 21 with increasing phytase levels, no corresponding effect was observed on GE utilization.…”

“…Gut pH may be influenced by various nutritional factors, including feed form and particle size, dietary fiber, protein, Ca, and Na levels [78][79][80]. Generally speaking, lower gut pH is more favorable as it may facilitate nutrient digestibility and diminish the growth of acid-sensitive pathogenic bacteria [81].…”

This study explored feeding recycled food waste-based diets for gut health, nutrient digestibility, bone morphology, and bone mineral level in laying hens. Hy-Line Brown laying hens (n = 150) were randomly allocated to three experimental treatments consisting of a commercial control diet, a recycled food waste-based diet, and a 50:50 blend of the control and food waste-based diets, with 50 replicates of a single bird per cage per treatment from 24 to 63 weeks of age. Egg production was recorded daily and feed intake was measured weekly. The gut pH, jejunal and ileal morphology, nutrient digestibility, bone morphology, and mineral composition were measured at 63 weeks of age. Hens on the food waste-based treatment had similar egg production but lower feed conversion ratio (FCR, 1.948 vs. 2.172 kg feed/kg egg, p < 0.001) and higher ileal pH (p < 0.001) and bone ash content (p < 0.001) compared to birds on the control treatment. Moreover, hens fed the food waste-based diets had higher ileal digestible energy (p < 0.001); ileal energy digestibility (p < 0.01); tibia S, Fe, Mn, and Zn levels (p < 0.05); and Mg, K, S, Mn, and Mo digestibility (p < 0.05) compared to hens fed the control diets. Hens offered the 50:50 blend diets had higher tibia P, Mg, and Mo levels (p < 0.05) and higher Ca digestibility (p < 0.05) compared to those fed the control diets. Thus, feeding recycled food waste-based diets is effective to improve laying performance, nutrient digestibility, and bone mineralization in laying hens.

“…Crossbred (Large White × Landrace) weaner pigs (4.5 -4.7 kg) were used and randomly assigned into three treatments in a completely randomised design (CRD). The experimental animals were individually numbered, weighed and allotted to treatments in CRD in such a way that the difference in the average initial body weight within each treatment and across treatments was not significantly different (Adejumo et al, 2021). Each treatment had three replicates and each replicate had three animals.…”

Pigs for commercial production are often housed intensively because of its benefits, such as proper management of the animals, record‑keeping, feed and water provision and management. However, intensive systems of production may also produce stress in animals, arising from operations such as weaning, feed reduction or manipulation, and vaccination. In Africa, pig farmers feed cassava peels to pigs to reduce the cost of production despite its low protein content and anti‑nutritional factor (hydrocyanide). However, little is known about the effect of this feed change in terms of stress on weaners. In this study, we replaced maize with cassava peels and supplemented the diets with a fixed amount of tryptophan (Trp) to investigate its effect on performance, haematology, behavioural response of pigs to weaning, and their response to metabolic stress. Crossbred weaner pigs were used and randomly assigned to three treatments in a completely randomised design. Each treatment had three replicates and each replicate had three animals. The feeding trial lasted for four weeks. Dietary manipulations did not influence the growth performance characteristics and behavioural response of the animals. Packed cell volume, haemoglobin, red blood cell counts, and neutrophils were significantly (p < 0.05) higher for 20 % cassava peel as a replacement for maize but lower for a 40 % cassava peel‑based diet when compared with the control group. Feeding cassava peels as a replacement for maize in weaner pigs may be carefully considered, although further studies in this direction are recommended.
