“…The principal natural feed ingredient sources of oxycarotenoids utilized during the past several decades include yellow corn, corn gluten meal, and dehydrated alfalfa meal (46,242,382,485,654,656,664,666,846,872).…”

“…By chemical analysis it was determined that corn meal contains 14,2% of mositure, 9,8% of crude protein, 3,26% of fibre, 49,6% of starch, 4,11% of sugar, 2,08% of fat, 0,12% of mineral matters, calcium 0,22% phosphorus and 1,28 mg/kg  caroten . Contrary to some corn by-products in production of alcohol (ethanol) (Saharan, et al 1999;McNab and Boorman, 2002;Scheideler, 2006) or corn gluten with bran (Wilkinson and Barbee, 1998;Babidis, et al 2002;Abdel-Raheem, et al 2005;Brito et al 2005) this feed contains less protein, but more oils and starch and therefore in its nutritive value closer/more like corn shelled or oil corn (Savić et al 1996). Content of metabolic energy was calculated according to Jokiću et al (2004) in the amount of 14,28 MJ/kg.…”

Abstract:One of the by-products of corn processing which can succesfully be used in poultry nutrition is livestock meal. In this trial corn meal was investigated, meal in two form: non-extruded (T1 and T2) and extruded (T3 and T4) as a replacement of cracked corn (K) in the amount of 100% (T1 and T3) and 50% (T2 and T4). Investigation was carried out in 4 repetitions, 75 chickens of Arbor Acres x Ross 308 hybrid in each group. Trial lasted 42 days. Chickens were fed three standard mixtures (starter, grower and finisher).Investigation demonstrated that group of chickens of treatment T3 realized the best final body masses (2254g), followed by chickens in treatment T4 (2173g), chickens of group T2 (2112g), K group (2106 g), and the worst results were established in chickens of group T1 (2103g). It was established that differences in final body mass of chickens from group T3 in relation to chickens from groups T1, T2, T4 and were statistically highly significant (P<0,001). Statistically significant differences (P<0,05) were established between body masses of chickens from group T4 in relation to T1, T2 and K group. Mortality of chickens was as followes: K-3,64%, T1-2,50%, and T2-5,00%, T3-6,39%, and T4-3,33%. Feed conversion in all investigated groups was almost identical (K-1,91; T2-,93; T3-1,93; T4-1,94) with the exception of T1 with 1,97. In regard to production index (PI), the best results were realized by group of chickens T3 (261), followed by chickens T4 (258), K (253), and the worst results were established in chickens of groups T1 (248) and T2 (248).

“…Barnett and Morgan (1959) obtained greater egg yolk pigmentation when dehydrated Coastal Bermudagrass replaced dehydrated alfalfa meal; the ingredient substitutions were based upon percent of the ration rather than xanthophyll content. When Coastal Bermudagrass and dehydrated alfalfa meal were tested at comparable dietary xanthophyll levels, they provided equal broiler pigmentation (Wilkinson and Barbee, 1968).…”

Xanthophyll depleted, fasted broilers were intubated with various xanthophyll sources in a series of six experiments. The increase in serum xanthophyll per milligram xanthophyll intubated per kilogram body weight was used to estimate exahtnophyll availability. Statistically significant differences among samples within and among generic sources were obtained. As a result, beta-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethyl ester (apo-EE) was used as a reference standard in Experiments 4 to 6. When the availability of apo-EE was given a relative value of 100, the availability of xanthophyll from corn gluten meal ranged from 47.7 to 89.1% (four samples), from dehydrated alfalfa, 34.6 to 65.4% (eight samples), and from Coastal Bermudagrass, 18.8 to 27.9% (three samples).
