“…In 42-day study (Ouart et al, 1995), lasalocid at 100 and 124 mgkg also increased water intake by 9% at 21 and 42 days and litter moisture by 6% at day 21 in comparison with halofuginone, salinomycin, monensin and nonmedicated control. Other studies were not able to find a higher water consumption or higher litter moisture with the use of lasalocid over that of controls (Pate1 et al, 1980;Salsbury, 1984;Wheelhouse ef al., 1985;Macy et al, 1990). Some trials showed a reverse effect of monensin, reducing water consumption over that of non-medicated birds (Frigg and Broz, 1983;Fleet and Saylor, 1983).…”

The control of excretanitter moisture and quality is a priority in the modern poultry industry, to avoid environmental and animal welfare problems and to reduce productivity losses. Control implies the reduction of their amounts and moisture content. Several factors can affect them, some related to management and housing, others related to diseases and finally, dietary factors. The paper reviews some nutritional aspects that could interfere with the moisture and quality of poultry excretaflitter, focusing on dietary factors affecting water consumption, water excretion and the amount and composition of excreta: dietary protein level, electrolyte balance, ionophores, cereals causing viscosity problems or containing high levels of non-digestible fibre fractions, unusual ingredients or by-products and finally some feed technological treatments. Nutrition: excreta and litter moisture content: M. Francesch and J. BrufauSeveral factors can affect the excretaflitter moisture content; some of them are related to management and housing (amount and type of litter, temperature, ventilation, heating, drinking system, density), other factors are related to diseases caused by various infections (coccidiosis, Escherichiu coli, Campylobacter, spirochaetes), finally there are dietary factors which may affect water consumption and excretion. The excreta composition, which can affect their water retention capacity limiting the evaporative water losses, may also alter the litter characteristics.This paper reviews some nutritional aspects that could modify the moisture and quality of poultry excretaflitter, focusing on dietary factors affecting water consumption, water excretion and the amount and composition of excreta: dietary protein level, electrolyte balance, ionophores, ingredients causing viscosity problems or containing high levels of non-digestible fibre fractions, some unusual ingredients or by-products and finally some feed technological treatments.The author is grateful to Dr Jiri Broz for his critical comments on the manuscript.
