“…In the present study, the higher level of CF in the diet might help improve the ADG and the FCR of the experimental ducks, suggesting that the variations of the dietary CF level within a certain range would not negatively impact the growth performance of CMD. Similar results have been reported by Sklan et al (2003) in growing-finishing turkeys, Boguslawska-Tryk (2005) in broilers from 0 to 42 days of age, Gonzalez-Alvarado et al (2007) and Jimenez-Moreno et al (2016) in broilers from 1 to 21 days of age, and Jimenez- Moreno et al (2013) in broilers from 1 to 18 days of age, which showed that an increase of the CF content of the diet in the appropriate range did not affect ADFI but improved ADG and FCR. Mateos et al (2012) considered that the benefits of fibre supplementation on the growth performance of birds were probably linked with improved nutrient digestibility arising from a better development and function of the gizzard rather than from changes in the metabolic pathways.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the responses of growth performance, organ development, carcass characteristics, and serum biochemical parameters to the diets with different levels of crude fibre (CF) in growing male China Micro-ducks (CMD). A total of 240 nineteen-day-old CMD were blocked on the basis of body weight, and then randomly allocated to four treatments, each with 6 replicate pens of 10 ducklings. The formal feeding experiment lasted for 35 days. The CF levels for four diets were 16.7, 42.6, 77.9, and 101.6 g/kg of dry matter (DM), respectively. The diet with the CF level of 101.6 g/kg of DM resulted in the first-rank growth performance, followed by the diets with the CF level of 42.6 and 77.9 g/kg of DM, and then the diet with the CF level of 16.7 g/kg of DM. The diet with the CF level of 42.6 g/kg of DM led to the optimum slaughter performance, followed by the diets with the CF levels of 16.7 and 77.9 g/kg of DM, and then the diet with the CF level of 101.6 g/kg of DM. With the increase of the CF level in the diets, the serum glucose concentration and the relative weights of proventriculus and gizzard significantly rose (P < 0.05), but the serum concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and creatinine, the percentages of head, feet, and abdominal fat, and the relative weights of liver, jejunum, and ileum significantly decreased (P < 0.05). For the percentages of pectoral muscle and lean meat and the relative weight of thymus, dietary treatment with the CF level of 16.7 g/kg of DM was significantly lower than the other dietary treatments (P < 0.05). The recommended range of dietary CF level for growing male CMD should therefore be between 42.6 and 77.9 g/kg of DM.

“…In pullets, Guzmán et al (2015a) observed a 6.4% increase in ADG from zero to 21 d of age with the inclusion of 2% SFH in the diet. Similar results were reported by González-Alvarado et al (2007) and Jiménez-Moreno et al (2011, 2013a in broilers. In contrast, Walugembe et al (2014) observed that the inclusion of 16% of a combination of dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS) and wheat bran, in isocaloric diets based on corn and soybean meal, reduced ADG and voluntary FI in broilers but not in pullets.…”

“…In fact, the AME n of the diet increased significantly with SFH inclusion at both ages. Jiménez-Moreno et al (2013a) and González-Alvarado et al (2010) in broilers reported also a 2.1% and 4.4% increase in the energy content of the diet with the inclusion of 2.5 and 3.0% OH, respectively. In this respect, Hetland et al (2003) showed that OH inclusion increased amylase activity and bile acid concentration in the jejunum of laying hens fed a cornsoybean meal diet.…”

“…In the current experiment, the control and experimental diets contained 3.0 and 4.4% crude fiber whereas in the research of Kalmendal et al (2011) the values were 2.6 and 8.0%, respectively. Jiménez- Moreno et al (2013a) reported that the inclusion of up to 5% OH in a low fiber diet increased nutrient retention in broilers but that a further increase to 7.5% tended to reduce it. …”

The effects of including 3% sunflower hulls (SFH) in the diet on growth performance, nutrient retention (TTAR), and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) traits were studied in chicks from zero to 21 d of age. Four treatments that resulted from the combination of 2 chicken lines (female broilers vs. brown pullets) and 2 levels of SFH (zero vs. 3%) were used. The control diet contained 2,980 kcal AME n /kg, 1.25% digestible Lys, and 8.7% neutral detergent fiber. The experimental diet included 3% SFH at the expense (wt:wt) of the whole diet. Growth performance, TTAR of nutrients, and the AME n of the diet were greater (P = 0.097 to P < 0.001) in broilers than in pullets. In absolute terms, all the organs of the GIT were heavier (P < 0.001) and the small intestine and cecum were longer (P < 0.001) in broilers than in pullets. At 21 d of age, however, the relative weight (% BW) of all the organs of the GIT (P < 0.001) and the relative length (cm/kg BW) of the small intestine and cecum (P < 0.01) were greater in pullets. Gizzard pH (P < 0.001), total short chain fatty acids concentration in the cecum (P = 0.098), and villus height (P < 0.001) and crypt depth (P < 0.05) of the ileum mucosa were higher in broilers. The inclusion of SFH increased (P < 0.05) the AME n content of the diet but did not affect bird performance, moisture content of the excreta, or the concentration and profile of fatty acids in the cecum. Dietary SFH increased gizzard weight and reduced gizzard pH (P < 0.001) at both ages. In conclusion, broilers had better growth performance, nutrient retention, and ileum absorptive capacity than pullets. The inclusion of 3% SFH at the expense of the control diet did not have any negative effect on chick performance and, in fact, increased gizzard weight, reduced gizzard pH, and improved the energy content of the diet.

“…They may have a relationship with excreta moisture although literature of the effects of these nutrients on excreta quality is limited. Except for the effect of soluble nonstarch polysaccharide content, which has been observed to increase digesta viscosity (Ouhida et al, 2000;Jiménez-Moreno et al, 2013) and concomitant increased water intake by the birds (Langhout et al, 2000), resulting in increased excreta and litter moisture content. Being part of the dEB calculation, Cl may be important to add to the database.…”

High litter moisture content, often referred to as wet litter, is a major problem in poultry production. Wet litter is often related to poor management, diseases, and digestive problems. In this experiment, the objective was to study the relationship between nutrient content and the moisture content of the excreta of broilers. A dataset containing 351 observations was built and contained the nutrient contents data including moisture content of excreta samples collected in 8 different broiler feeding trials. A biological based model approach was used to create a model with 10 and another one with 14 variables that may explain the excreta moisture level response. Subsequently, these models were compared with a statistical model that was built automatically and adjusted only if this improved the biological model. The R 2 of the 10 variable model was 0.54, in which Zn content and the interaction of NDF × K and Ca × P content were negatively associated with excreta moisture. Sodium, P, and Ca content and the interaction between content of NDF × Na were positively associated with excreta moisture. The R 2 of the 14 variable model was 0.58, in which Zn and K content and the interaction of NDF × protein and Ca × P content were negatively associated with excreta moisture, and Na, protein, P, and Ca content and the interactions in contents of NDF × Na, NDF × Zn, and K × Cu were positively associated with excreta moisture content. In conclusion, the models confirmed the effect of Na, protein, P, and Ca on excreta moisture content. Furthermore, hitherto unknown nutrient interactions that contribute to excreta moisture level were identified. As excreta levels of most nutrients can be manipulated by adjusting dietary nutrient levels, dietary formulation can be adjusted with the findings of this analysis to change levels of excreted nutrients and, consequently, also moisture output.
