“…In the present study, whole rye grain had no effect on the analyzed egg quality parameters, which corroborates the findings of other authors (Campbell and Campbell, 1989;Smulikowska et al, 1997;Pan et al, 1998;Lázaro et al, 2003a;Bederska-Łojewska et al, 2019).…”

“…Lázaro et al (2003a) also demonstrated that diets containing 35% of ground rye as a substitute for ground maize did not affect laying rate or feed efficiency, but hens fed rye-based diets exhibited a higher incidence of dirty eggs. In a recent study, Bederska-Łojewska et al (2019) found that ground rye incorporated into layers diets at 100 -200 g/kg (i.e. the amount identical to that in the present study) significantly decreased laying rate, but it had no negative influence on feed intake or feed conversion ratio.…”

“…One of earlier experiments investigating the nutritional value of ground rye as a feed ingredient for laying hens demonstrated that an increase in the rye content of diets (from 5% to 25%) led to a linear decrease in egg production and feed efficiency (Proudfoot and Hulan, 1986). Research shows that the addition of exogenous glycanases capable of degrading NSPs can alleviate the adverse effects of soluble arabinoxylans, improve the growth rate of birds and feed conversion, and reduce the incidence of dirty eggs in layers fed rye-containing diets (Smulikowska et al, 1997;He et al, 2003;Lázaro et al, 2003 a, b;Arczewska-Wlosek et al, 2019;Bederska-Łojewska et al, 2019). However, several later studies revealed that ground or whole rye included in mash layer diets at 30% -47% as a substitute for ground wheat or maize did not affect egg production or feed efficiency (Campbell and Campbell, 1989;Smulikowska et al, 1997;Pan et al, 1998;Lazaro et al, 2003 a, b).…”

“…El-Wahab et al (2020b) found that squashed rye added to supplementary pelleted feed at levels that were increased weekly (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%) had no negative effect on body weight gain or feed conversion in broilers. Bederska-Łojewska et al (2019) demonstrated that in layer diets, the inclusion of 10% of ground hybrid rye instead of ground corn and wheat considerably decreased laying rates.…”

The study was designed to investigate productivity parameters, egg quality and the cost effectiveness of feeding laying hens with diets where ground wheat was replaced with varying levels of whole hybrid rye grain cv. Brasetto. A total of 396 Hy-Line Brown hens at 34 weeks of age were allocated to three treatment groups with 66 replicates (cages) of two hens each, and were fed isocaloric and isonitrogenous pelleted diets for 12 weeks. The diet for control group hens (R0) did not contain rye grain. In diets for hens from groups R100 and R200, ground wheat grain was partially replaced with whole rye grain at 100 g/kg and 200 g/kg, respectively. Whole intact rye grains were included in the diets. The cost of diets containing 10% and 20% of whole rye grain was by approximately 1.0% and 1.9% lower, respectively, compared with the control diet that contained no rye grain. During the entire 12-week feeding period, dietary treatments had no effect on laying rate (95.64% to 97.07%), egg weight (62.51 g to 62.74 g) or egg mass output (5.04 kg to 5.12 kg per hen). The inclusion of whole rye grain in layer diets caused a linear increase in feed intake (P < 0.047) and tended to linearly increase the feed conversion ratio (FCR, P = 0.078). Both groups of hens fed diets containing whole rye grain were characterized by a linear decrease in the dry matter (DM) content of excreta (P = 0.001). Increased excreta moisture was accompanied by a tendency towards a higher incidence of dirty eggshells in R200 hens (P = 0.068). The inclusion of 100 g/kg of whole rye grain in layer diets decreased the cost of feed per kg of eggs by 1.9%. Dietary treatments had no significant effect on eggshell thickness (0.330 mm - 0.345 mm), albumen quality (Haugh units, 83.46 – 85.84) or yolk color (3.8 - 4.0). The results of this experiment indicate that pre-pellet inclusion of whole rye (at up to 200 g/kg) in diets with supplemental NSP-degrading enzymes and phytase can be an effective and economically viable alternative to ground wheat in pelleted layer diets.

“…The possible reason was that a high level of prebiotics can be fermented rapidly and increases gas production, which impairs the gut mucosal barrier ( Mikkelsen et al., 2004 ; Bruggencate et al., 2005 ). The higher egg yolk color value observed in XOS-supplemented groups might be connected with the interference of XOS on lipid metabolism ( Bederskałojewska et al., 2019 ; Li et al., 2017 ), thus influenced carotenoid absorption or deposition in the yolk. Further studies are needed to reveal the effects of XOS on yolk color.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the prebiotic effects of dietary xylooligosaccharide (XOS) supplementation on performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, and gut microbiota in laying hens. In a 12-wk experiment, a total of 288 Hy-Line Brown layers at 50 wk of age were randomly assigned into 3 dietary treatments supplemented with XOS at 0, 200 or 400 mg/kg. Each treatment had 8 replicates with 12 birds each. Hens fed XOS diets showed a lower feed-to-egg ratio during wk 7 to 12 and a higher egg yolk color value in wk 12 compared with those fed the control diet ( P < 0.05). Dietary XOS supplementation improved the apparent total tract digestibility of gross energy and nitrogen at the end of the 12th wk ( P < 0.05). In addition, a higher villus height-to-crypt depth ratio of the ileum was observed in XOS-added groups ( P < 0.05). The high throughput sequencing analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA revealed that dietary XOS supplementation at 200 mg/kg altered cecal microbiota. Alpha diversity analysis illustrated a higher cecal bacterial richness in birds fed with XOS at 200 mg/kg. The composition of cecal microbiota modulated by the XOS addition was characterized by an increased abundance of Firmicutes along with a reduced abundance of Bacteroidetes. At the genus level, dietary XOS supplementation triggered decreases in Bacteroides and Campylobacter concurrent with increases in Lactobacillus and several short chain fatty acid producers including Desulfovibrio , Faecalitalea , Faecalicoccus , and 5 genera of family Lachnospiraceae. Collectively, dietary XOS addition improved the feed conversion ratio by modulating nutrient digestibility and ileal morphology in laying hens, which could be attributed to the enhancement of bacterial diversity and alteration of microbial composition.
