The Effective Use of Shochu Distillery By-product as a Source of Broiler Feed.

Abstract

Three experiments were conducted to examine the possibility of the potential use of shochu distillery by-product (SDBP) as a feedstuff of broiler chickens.In experiment 1, 12-day-old broiler chicks were given diets containing 0, 0.7, 1.4 and 2.3% SDBP (wet), respectively.In experiment 2, 6-day-old broiler chicks were given diets containing 0.7% SDBP (wet), 1.4% wet supernatant of SDBP, 0.14% dried ether extract of SDBP and 0.28% ether extract residue, and in experiment 3, 12-day-old broiler chicks were given diet containing 0.05% ether extract of SDBP. The basal diet was made mainly from corn and isolated soybean protein, with 23% crude protein and 3,200 kcal ME per kg. In experiment 1, it was observed that body weight gain and feed intake were improved significantly (P<0.05) when the diet containing 0.7% wet SDBP was given. However, increasing the level of SDBP diminished the growth promotion.In experiment 2, body weight gain was improved, when the diet containing SDBP, supernatant of SDBP or ether extract of SDBP was given, but not when the residue was given. Feed conversion ratios were significantly (P<0.05) reduced in all the treatment groups than that of the control group. In experment 3, the results were consistent with those of experiment 2. The performance was significantly (P<0.05) increased when the diet containing ether extract of SDBP was given.The present results indicate that SDBP may contain ether soluble growth promoting factor for broiler chicken.

Effects of Feeding Hexane-Extracts of a Shochu Distillery By-Product on Skeletal Muscle Protein Degradation in Broiler Chicken

“…1) We have found that SDBP contains a growthpromoting factor active in broiler chickens. 2) We have also found that SDBP feeding increased muscletocopherol and glycogen contents and decreased muscle tiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), 3) indicating that broiler chicken meat quality can be improved by SDBP. This is because SDBP contains large amounts of polyphenols and vitamins C and E.…”

“…We have found that SDBP contains a growthpromoting factor active in broiler chickens, 2) and that it can be extracted with ether.…”

“…We have found that the growth promoting factor of SDBP can be extracted by ether 2,4,5) and fractionated by Sephadex LH-20 column. 5) In the present experiment, we extracted the growth-promoting factor of SDBP with hexane and gave it to broiler chickens to assess changes in skeletal muscle protein degradation in order to clarify the mechanism of growth promotion due to SDBP feeding.…”

“…SDBP contains high amount of protein, vitamins E and C in addition to growth promoters (Mahfudz et al, 1996a(Mahfudz et al, , b, 1997. It is also the merit that it is very acidic because citric acid is produced during the fermentation.…”

Effects of Fermented Barley Extract on Antioxidant Status in Mice

“…Subsequently, many methods have been developed to effectively utilize SDB. For example, there have been reports on the use of SDB as dried feed or fertilizer (Shimoda et al, 1995), a growth promoter for broilers (Mahfudz et al, 1996), a seasoning (Yokoyama et al, 2001) and in anticancer food (Sasaki et al, 2005). SDB contains an abundance of cereal-and microbial-derived nutrients, and its composition varies depending on the raw material, raw material formula and distillation method.…”
