“…The depression in body weight due to OA agrees with the reports of Huff et al (1974, Prior et al (1980), and Huff and Doerr (1981) who observed that chicks fed diets containing OA had reduced performance. The depression in body weights due to TA is in agreement with the findings of Chang and Fuller (1964), Vohra et al (1966), Conner et al (1969), Rostagno et al (1973), Armstrong et al (1973Armstrong et al ( , 1974, and Dale et al (1980) who found that dietary tannic acid or diets containing high tannin grain sorghum have a detrimental effect on chick performance. At 26 days of age, body weights were significantly lower in the OA-TA combination groups than the TA group and approached being significantly lower than the OA group.…”

“…The use of these grain sorghums with a high tannin content in poultry diets and the addition of tannic acid (TA) to experimental diets have been shown to cause reduced performance in chickens (Chang and Fuller, 1964;Vohra et al, 1966;Conner et al, 1969;Rostagno et al, 1973;Armstrong et al, 1973Armstrong et al, , 1974. Chang and Fuller (1964) found that feeding high tannin grain sorghums resulted in growth retardation that was similar in magnitude to that caused by equivalent levels of tannic acid per se.…”

Toxicity of Ochratoxin A and Tannic Acid to Growing Chicks

The effects of ochratoxin A (OA) and tannic acid (TA) on growing chicks were determined. One-day-old male broiler chicks were fed a diet containing the following additives for 26 days: A) none; B) 3.0 ppm OA; C) 1.5% TA; D) 3.0 ppm OA plus 1.5% TA. When compared to the controls, body weights and feed efficiencies were significantly depressed in the OA and TA groups. There was a further depression in body weights and a dramatic depression of feed efficiency in the OA-TA combination group. Pigmentation, as measured by visual shank scores, was reduced in chicks fed OA singly or in combination with TA but was not affected by feeding TA singly. There were no consistent treatment differences in the relative weights of the kidney, gizzard, proventriculus, liver, bursa, or pancreas, although there was a trend toward an elevated relative kidney weight in the groups receiving OA. Serum uric acid levels were significantly elevated in the OA and the OA-TA combination group indicating impaired renal excretory function attributable to OA. Total serum protein levels were significantly depressed in the groups receiving OA, and serum calcium levels were depressed in all treatment groups. Serum phosphorus levels were decreased in the OA and OA-TA groups but were only decreased significantly in the OA group. There were no consistent treatment differences in the hematology and other blood chemistry and mineral values.

“…The RSM used in this experiment contained 06% water-extractable tannin and tannin has been associated with depressed gain and poorer food conversion (Rostagno et al, 1973) although this is not a consistent feature (Connor «/ al., 1969). • -• • Apart from toxins, RSMs may differ in their contents of available amino acids.…”

1. The effect of including lupin meal (Lupinus angustifolius), with or without rapeseed meal, in computer-formulated, least-cost diets for broilers has, been determined.2. In the first experiment the diets contained 0, 8 (with and without supplementary methionine, lysine, or methionine and lysine) or 16% lupin meal: addition of the lupin meal required a concomitant addition of 5 % rapeseed meal (by computer selection).3. The diets were fed from 38 to 65 d and did not affect live-weight but the efficiency of food utilisation was significantly worse on the 16 % lupin, 5% rapeseed meal diet than it was on the control diet.4. The second experiment was designed as a 2 x 4 factorial to separate any effect due to rapeseed meal from that due to lupin meal, the treatments, which were applied from 1 to 62 d, being 0, 8, 16 and 24% lupin meal with and without 5 % rapeseed meal.5. Birds gained more rapidly in the second experiment on diets containing 16 or 24% lupin meal whereas live-weight was depressed when 5% rapeseed meal was included in the diets containing 0 or 8% lupin.6. The 16 and 24% lupin treatments also had added dietary fat from 6 to 9 weeks of age and this may have ameliorated the adverse effect of rapeseed meal.7. Up to 16% lupin meal and 5% rapeseed meal had no detectable effect on the colour, appearance, flavour or texture of roasted chicken meat when evaluated by a trained taste panel.
