“…Also in other experiments, broiler chickens responded by body weight gain to increased dietary sodium supply (Borges et al 2003, Vieira et al 2003, Jankowski et al 2011a. No significant differences were found between groups with regard to the content of ash, calcium and phosphorus in tibia dry matter, which indicates that a faster growth rate of turkeys fed diets with a medium and high sodium content did not decrease the concentrations of those elements in their tibial bones.…”

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different dietary levels of sodium in diets with and without sodium chloride on mineral metabolism, including blood electrolyte levels and tibia mineralization parameters, in young turkeys (to six weeks of age). The influence of diets with a low (L), medium (M) and high (H) sodium content, at 0.34, 1.34 and 2.82 g/kg respectively, was compared. The content of chloride and potassium in turkey diets (1.7 -5.9 and 11 g/kg, respectively) was above the recommended levels. The sodium-deficient diet L decreased the serum concentrations of sodium, chloride and phosphorus, and it increased the serum levels of calcium and magnesium in turkeys, compared with groups M and H. Relative to group L, different dietary sodium levels in groups M and H contributed to a similar increase in the body weights of birds (1.06 vs. 1.46 and 1.44 kg, p<0.001) and in the absolute (4.60 vs. 6.83 and 6.62 g, p<0.001) and relative tibia weight (0.42 vs. 0.46 and 0.46% body weight, p=0.031). No significant differences were found between groups with respect to the content of ash, calcium and phosphorus in tibia dry matter. Supplemental sodium increased the bone density index (from 50.6 to 68.4 and 66.3 mg/mm in groups L, M and H, respectively, p<0.001), the maximum bending moment (from 5.27 to 7.40 and 7.33 N/mm, p=0.002) and the minimum breaking strength of tibia (from 0.136 to 0.191 and 0.189, p=0.002).In conclusion, our study indicates that the applied dietary treatment with a moderate sodium level (1.34 g/kg) resulted in a rate of bird growth and tibia mineralization similar to those observed with the treatment with much higher Na content (2.82 g/kg).

“…According to Mayne et al (2007), a high litter moisture content may lead to footpad dermatitis in growing turkeys. The dietary sodium intake is often increased in broilers to stimulate their growth (Vieira et al 2003, Borges et al 2003, which leads to higher water consumption levels (Murakami et al 2000, Mushtaq et al 2007.…”

“…De acordo com Vieira et al (2000), as aves ao nascerem passam da dependência nutricional de lipídeos e proteínas do saco vitelino para a de carboidratos dos ingredientes da ração, isso quer dizer que após eclodirem as aves são capazes de digerir carboidratos, entre eles o amido (MORAN Jr., 1985;CHOTINSKY et al, 2001), sendo que a amilase pancreática no 18º dia de incubação já está ativa e sua completa capacidade para a digestão do amido ocorre aos quatro dias de vida das aves (UNI et al, 1995;CHOTINSKY et al, 2001). verificaram que o amido é digerido em 85% aos quatro dias de idade das aves e que posteriormente os incrementos são pequenos.…”

“…O fornecimento de dietas ricas em carboidratos, logo após a eclosão das aves, promove maior concentração de glucose no sangue e queda na atividade da glucose-6-fosfatase, indicando redução da gliconeogênese o que disponibiliza proteínas para a formação de tecidos corporais e para o desenvolvimento da ave (DONALDSON & CHRISTENSEN, 1991;VIEIRA et al, 2000).…”

ResumoObjetivou-se revisar bibliograficamente a digestão e a absorção dos carboidratos pelas aves. O fornecimento de dietas ricas em carboidratos, logo após a eclosão das aves, aumenta a concentração de glucose no sangue e aumenta a disponibilidade de proteínas para a formação de tecidos corporais e para o desenvolvimento da ave. A secreção de algumas enzimas, como a da amilase pelo pâncreas e a sua ativação no intestino delgado se desenvolve ao longo da vida das aves. Da digestão dos carboidratos são resultantes açúcares simples que podem participar da construção de outras substâncias ou serem metabolizados com produção de água, dióxido de carbono e energia. A maioria dos produtos resultantes do metabolismo de

Minerals in gastroliths and foods consumed by band‐tailed pigeons

Band-tailed pigeons (Patagioenas fasciata) congregate at and use mineral sites (mineralized water or soil) primarily within the breeding range of the Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeon (P. f. monilis), but the Interior band-tailed pigeon (P. f. fasciata) generally does not exhibit this behavior. Differences in supplemental minerals used between subspecies could be explained by differences in the diet (grit and foods) of these birds between their regional ranges. We necropsied 1,169 band-tailed pigeons and sampled 35 primary foods of band-tailed pigeons in the United States range of the Interior (AZ, CO, NM, and UT) and Pacific Coast (CA, OR, and WA) band-tailed pigeons to evaluate regional differences in mineral and moisture in gastroliths and food items, and the association of grit with food items consumed. Grit and food types consumed by pigeons were similar between subspecies, but grit amount varied with foods consumed and food items varied with season and region in association with plant distribution and phenology. Gastroliths contained small amounts (≤3.3% each) of calcium, sodium, and potassium and were smooth and polished, indicating relatively long-term retention and use primarily in food abrasion. Foods universally contained low amounts of sodium (0-328 ppm), moderate calcium (100-7,250 ppm), and high potassium (4,400-22,600 ppm), but varied somewhat with food type (e.g., acorns, berries, cultivated grains, pine seeds). Moisture and mineral content of grit consumed and foods used by Interior and Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeons did not differ between their regional ranges in explaining
