This study was conducted to investigate the effect of feed particle size and feed form on growth performance, nutrient metabolizability and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. This experiment was a 2${\times}$2 factorial arrangement including two feed particle sizes (fine and coarse) and two feed forms (mash and pellet). A total of two hundred and eighty eight day-old male Arbor Acre broilers were used in this six week experiment. Birds were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments with six replicates per treatment and twelve birds per replicate. The results showed that pelleting diets resulted in greater ADG (p<0.01), greater ADFI (p<0.01) and lower feed to gain ratio (F/G) (p<0.05) during starter, grower and overall period. Also, pelleting improved both apparent metabolizable energy (AME) (p<0.01) and the apparent metabolizability of crude protein (p<0.05) and organic matter (p<0.05) regardless of the phase. Reduction of feed particle size enhanced AME (p<0.05) during d 19 to 21. Increased villus height (p<0.05) and crypt depth ratio (p< 0.05) within duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were observed in birds fed the pellet diet compared with those given the mash diet. In conclusion, results indicated that feed pellets might enhance performance by improving nutrient metabolizability and digestive tract development.

An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of dietary inorganic (copper sulfate) and organic (copper proteinate) forms of copper and energy level on performance and nutrient utilization of broiler chickens. Two hundred day-old commercial Vencobb broiler chicks were purchased and randomly distributed to 20 cages of 10 birds each. These replicates were randomly assigned to one of five treatments in a (($2{\times}2$)+1) factorial arrangement. These two factors were sources of Cu ($CuSO_{4}$ vs. Cuproteinate) and dose of Cu supplements (200 mg and 400 mg/kg dietary dry matter) and the control (no supplemental Cu). After the starter period (up to 3 weeks), from d 22 onwards another factor i.e. energy at two levels (2,900 vs. 2,920 kcal/kg diet) was introduced with the previous factorial arrangements by subdividing each replicate into two equal parts, for two energy levels, without disturbing the dose and source of Cu supplement. Cu-salt supplementation linearly increased (p<0.01) live weight (LW), live weight gain (LWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) at 3 weeks, whereas cumulative feed intake (CFI) was unaffected (p>0.05). LWG and FCR were higher (p<0.01) in Cu-proteinate supplemented birds compared to $CuSO_{4}$ supplementation. A linear dose response (p<0.01) of Cu was found for the performance of broiler chickens. Birds having a higher energy level in the finisher stage increased (p<0.01) LWG and FCR. Cumulative feed intake was similar (p>0.05) across the groups up to the 5th week. Cu-proteinate increased performance of broiler chickens compared to $CuSO_{4}$. Dose of supplemental Cu-salt irrespective of source showed a linear response (p<0.01) for performance. Supplementation of Cu-proteinate increased metabolizability of DM (p<0.01), NFE (p<0.05), total carbohydrate (p<0.01) and OM (p<0.01) at the starter period. Increased dose of Cu-salt linearly increased (p<0.01) metabolizability of DM, CP, CF, NFE and OM. Higher energy level in the diet improved DM (p<0.05), EE (p<0.01), NFE (p = 0.01), total carbohydrate (p<0.01) and OM (p<0.01) metabolizability. Cu-proteinate supplementation showed better nutrient utilization compared to CuSO4. Dose of Cu linearly increased DM, CP, EE, NFE, total carbohydrate and OM metabolizability. CF metabolizability was unaffected (p>0.05) among the treatments. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of Cu-salt more than the requirement may improve performance and nutrient utilization in broiler chickens even with a high energy finisher diet. Cu-proteinate showed better performance and nutrient utilization compared to $CuSO_{4}$.

본 시험은 옥수수 주정박(corn distiller's dried grains with solubles; DDGS)의 산란계용 배합사료에 첨가시 산란계의 생산성 및 영양소 대사율, 계분의 암모니아 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 23주령의 Hy-line Brown 계통의 산란계 216수에 DDGS를 0% 함유한 사료를 대조구(T1)로 하고, 대조구와 동에너지(TMEn 2,780 kcal/kg)-동단백질(17.0%)이 되게끔 DDGS를 각각 10%(T2), 20%(T3) 첨가한 3가지 사료를 10주간 급이하였다. 시험설계는 3처리 6반복 반복당 12수씩 완전임의 배치법을 사용하였다. 조사항목으로 사료섭취량, 산란율, 난중 및 난생산 사료요구율, 영양소대사율 및 계분의 암모니아 발생을 측정하였다. 본 시험에서 사료섭취량, 산란율, 난중 및 난생산 사료요구율 등의 산란 생산성은 모든 처리구 간에 유의적인 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 영양소 대사율에 있어 건물의 대사율의 경우 DDGS를 첨가한 처리구들에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 조지방과 NDF의 대사율은 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다(P>0.05). 가용무질소물의 대사율은 DDGS 첨가 수준이 높아질수록 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). Ca과 P의 대사율은 DDGS 첨가구들과 대조구 사이에 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 계분의 암모니아 발생은 DDGS 첨가수준이 높을수록 암모니아 발생이 낮게 나타났으나 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로 산란계사료에서 DDGS를 10~20%까지 옥수수-대두박을 대체하여 사용할 경우, 건물과 NFE 대사율을 감소시키는 효과가 있지만, 산란성적에 아무런 영향이 없이 사용할 수 있다고 판단된다.

This study investigated whether supplemental Cu, Fe, Zn, and Mn are needed in a practical diet for pullets. Four hundred and twenty females of an egg-laying strain (1-d-old, Lohmann Brown Layer) were randomly distributed into 4 groups, consisting of 7 replicates of 15 birds each. During the 18-week experimental period, chicks were given three basal diets in sequence, each with single or multiple Mn, Zn and Cu supplementation to improve the mineral balance gradually. In the Control, no Mn, Zn, and Cu were added; in the single Mn supplemented group (sMn) Mn was added to 120, 60, and 60 mg/kg for 1-6, 7-12, and 13-18 weeks of age, respectively; in the multiple Mn and Zn supplemented group (mMnZn), Mn was added to 180, 90, and 90 mg/kg and Zn was added to 120, 105, and 105 mg/kg for 1-6, 7-12, and 13-18 weeks of age, respectively; in the multiple Mn, Zn, Cu supplemented group (mMnZnCu), Mn, Zn, and Cu were added to the same multiple of basal Fe concentration relative to NRC (1994) recommendations. Energy and protein metabolizability were determined by subtracting energy/protein intake by energy/protein excretion (from both feces and urine) and dividing by energy/protein intake. There were no statistically significant differences between groups in terms of feed intake, final body weight or tibia length throughout the experiment. Optimal growth performance was observed in the Control, while adding trace minerals to basal diets tended to result in decreased productive performance. Protein metabolizability was increased by mMnZn and mMnZnCu treatments, but energy metabolizability was not affected. Concentrations of Mn, Zn, Cu in excreta varied greatly related to dietary content, and the retentions of Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn were all increased due to the improvement of mineral balance. Based on these results, it is suggested that the concentrations of Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn in typical basal diets used in this study were adequate for normal growth for pullets from 1 to 18 weeks of age.

본 실험은 항생제 $BMD^(R)$ premix(Bacitracin methylene disalicylate), 유기산 복합제인 $Lactacid^(R)$((주) 은진인터내셔날) 그리고 essential oil 제품인 $Immunocin^(R)$((주) 은진인터내셔날) 이 육계에 미치는 영향을 비교 평가하기 위하여 생산성, 영양소 이용율, 혈액 성상, ND titer, IgG, 그리고 장내 미생물 균총 등을 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 사양 시험은 육계 ($Ross^(R)$종) 1,000수 (암 수 각각 500수)를 공시하여 4처리 5반복, 반복당 암 수 동수로 50수씩을 floor pen(가로: 2.0m, 세로: 2.4m) 에 완전임의 배치하였다. 사양시험 기간은 35일, 시험 기간 동안 물과 사료를 자유 채식시켰고 24시간 점등하였다. 시험구는 대조구, $BMD^(R)$ premix(Bacitracin methylene disalicylate 2.5%) 0.1 % 첨가구, $Lactacid^(R)$ 0.5% 첨가구, 그리고 $Immunocin^(R)$ 0.1% 첨가구등 4첨가구를 두었다. 생산성에서 essential oil 복합제 $Immunocin^(R)$ 0.1% 첨가구가 $BMD^(R)$ 25ppm 첨가한 항생제구와 동일한 수준의 생산성 개선 효과를 보였는데 (P<0.05) 특히 사료 요구율이 유의하게 향상되었다(P<0.05). 그러나 유기산 복합제인 $Lactacid^(R)$ 0.5% 첨가구는 항생제구보다 생산성 개선 효과가 없었다. IgG 농도는 $Immunocin^(R)$구가 첨가구들 중에서 가장 높았으며(P<0.05) 혈액의 leukocytes 와 stress index는 $Immunocin^(R)$ 첨가구가 낮은 경향을 나타냈다. 장내 미생물의 Cl. perfringens 수는 첨가구간에는 유의차가 없었으며 E. coli 수는 항생제구와 $Immunocin^(R)$ 구가 가장 적었다(P<0.05). 영양소 이용 율에 있어서 조단백질은 $Lactacid^(R)$ 구와 $Immunocin^(R)$ 구 높았다(P< 0.05). NFE 이용율은 생산성 개선 효과는 없었으나 $Lactacid^(R)$ 구가 가장 높았다(P<0.05). 결론적으로 essential oil 제제인 $Immunocin^(R)$을 육계 사료의 첨가제로 사용시 항생제와 같은 수준의 생산성 개선 효과를 보였으나 유기산제제인 $Lactacid^(R)$는 대조구와 차이가 없었다.

This study was a sequential experiment consisting if feeding trial and in vitro culture studies. Feeding was conducted by $2{\times}2{\times}2$ factorial design with two cimaterol levels (0, 0.25 mg/kg), two energy levels (3,200, 2,900 ME kcal/kg) and two sexes. In starting period (0-21 days) broilers were fed diets containing two energy level without dietary supplementation of cimaterol. During finishing period (21-42 days) cimaterol groups were fed cimaterol supplemented diets. In vitro cultures were carried out to study the cellular metabolism of protein and fat in liver and adipose tissues prepared from chicks used in feeding trials. Body weight gain was significantly improved by the administration of cimaterol to experimental diets by 2.4% (p < 0.05). Feed intake was reduced by cimaterol administration at the high energy level, but this trend was reversed at low energy level. Feed efficiency was improved by cimaterol administration and at high energy level the difference (5.7%) was significant(p < 0.05). The administration of cimaterol had no effects on percentage of abdominal fat content, giblet and neck. There was little difference in carcass yield between control and cimaterol treated group. The administration of cimaterol had no effects on nutrient metabolizability or carcass composition. The results of in vitro studies with liver tissues showed that cimaterol increased the lipolytic activities (p < 0.05) and decreased lipogenic activities (p < 0.05). In in vitro studies with acinar cell of liver tissues. cimaterol increased the amount of retained protein and decreased secreted protein at high energy level. but the trend was opposite at low energy level.

This experiment examined the effects of feeding Aspergillus oryzae (AO) culture to laying hens, on fecal microbial populations, fecal pH and moisture content, egg quality, and metabolizabilities of several nutrients. Sixteen commercial 38-wk-old laying hens were randomly allotted to four diets: control; with 0.15% locally produced AO culture; with 0.3% locally produced AO culture, and; or with 0.3% imported AO. Each treatment consisted of four replicates (cages) containing one bird per cage according to a completely randomized design. After 4 wk, AO were recovered in the feces of birds fed the AO diets, indicating that AO might pass through the fore-gut alive and become active in the hind gut. The number of Lactobacillus spp. in feces was higher in all treated groups than that of the control, indicating that AO would provide a beneficial environment for the Lactobacillus spp. to proliferate in the intestine. The number of fecal E. coli was significantly reduced by the addition of AO. A similar trend was also found for aerobic bacteria. Although not significant, fecal moisture contents tended to be reduced by the addition of AO. Fecal pH was not significantly different among the treatments. The addition of AO did not affect the various economic traits of eggs. Metabolizabilities of gross energy and dry matter measured during the 5th wk were increased by the AO supplementation. It appears that AO culture alone could be used as a probiotic supplement for layers.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of post-harvest storage duration and wheat variety on the digestibility and energy content of new season wheat fed to finishing pigs. Two wheat varieties (Shi and Zhong) were harvested in 2013 and stored in the warehouse of the Fengning Pig Experimental Base at China Agricultural University for 3, 6, 9, or 12 mo. For each storage period, 12 barrows were placed in metabolism crates and allotted to diets containing 1 of the 2 wheat varieties in a randomized complete block design. The experimental diets contained 97.34% wheat and 2.66% of a vitamin and trace mineral premix. With an extension of storage duration from 3 mo to 12 mo, the gross energy (GE) and crude protein (CP) of the wheat decreased by 2.0% and 12.01%, respectively, while the concentration of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and starch content increased by 30.26%, 19.08%, and 2.46%, respectively. Total non-starch polysaccharide, total arabinose, total xylose and total mannose contents decreased by 46.27%, 45.80%, 41.71%, and 75.66%, respectively. However, there were no significant differences in the chemical composition between the two wheat varieties with the exception of ADF which was approximately 13.37% lower in Shi. With an extension of storage duration from 3 mo to 12 mo, the digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME) content and the apparent total tract digestibility of GE, CP, dry matter, organic matter, ether extract, ADF and metabolizability of energy in wheat decreased linearly (p<0.01) by 5.74%, 7.60%, 3.75%, 3.88%, 3.50%, 2.47%, 26.22%, 27.62%, and 3.94%, respectively. But the digestibility of NDF changed quadratically (p<0.01). There was an interaction between wheat variety and storage time for CP digestibility (p<0.05), such that the CP digestibility of variety Zhong was stable during 9 mo of storage, while the CP digestibility of variety Shi decreased (p<0.05). In conclusion, the GE, DE, and ME of wheat was stable during the first 3 to 6 mo of post-harvest storage, and decreased during the following 6 to 12 mo of storage under the conditions of this study.
