No full textAn experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of diets containing peas on productive traits, carcass yields, and fatty acid profiles (breast and drumstick meat) of broiler chickens. Hubbard strain broiler chicks, divided into 2 groups, received from 14 d to slaughtering age (49 d) a wheat middlings-based diet containing soybean (190 g/kg) or micronized-dehulled peas (400 g/kg) as the main protein source. The inclusion of peas did not significantly change the growth performance of birds. The pea level had no effect on the dressing percentage, the percentage of breast or drumstick muscles, and abdominal fat. The muscles of birds fed the pea diet had significant (P < 0.05) lower L* (lightness) and b* (yellowness, drumstick muscle) values and fat content. Instead, total collagen and water-holding capacity values were higher in the pea treatment. The polyunsaturated fatty acid concentration in breast and drumstick muscles was significantly increased with the alternative protein source inclusion, whereas the saturated fatty acid was similar among treatments. The n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio of the broiler drumstick meat decreased significantly in the pea group. Dietary pea inclusion improved the saturation index of meat without altering atherogenic and thrombogenic indexes. It can be concluded that the pea treatment tested had a positive effect on the performance and meat quality of broiler chickens

Effect of xylanase supplementation and particle-size on performance of guinea fowl fed wheat-based diets
No full textEffects of harvest period, nitrogen fertilization and mycorrhizal fungus inoculation on triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack) forage yield and quality
No full textThe practice of grazing winter cereals before heading and subsequently harvesting the forage is common in some
countries. Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is particularly interesting due to its nutritional characteristics, and forage
yield and quality are strongly influenced by agronomic techniques. The effect of two modes of utilization (cut at heading
stage and cut during winter grazing simulation with regrowth cut at heading stage), three nitrogen (N) fertilization levels
[0 and 100kgha−1 split in two phases; and 100kgha−1 before sowing, using a fertilizer with 3,4-dimethylpyrazole
phosphate (DMPP) as a nitrification inhibitor (NI)] and mycorrhizal fungus inoculation (mixed inoculation of Glomus
intraradices and Glomus moseae) on forage yield and quality, protein fractions and in vitro digestibility of triticale was
determined in southern Italy. Mode of utilization and fertilization affected significantly forage yield and quality, while
mycorrhizal fungus inoculation influenced positively some quality parameters. Cutting at heading stage of triticale led to
high dry matter (DM) production compared to the winter cut simulating grazing, but no differences in protein yield (PY).
N fertilization increased total DM and PYs, but no differences were reported among the application modalities of N
fertilizers. Triticale protein fractions and protein and fiber digestibility were improved by N fertilization. Mycorrhizal
fungus inoculation positively influenced forage quality at heading stage, which resulted in more digestible fiber and
protein. As a result, when triticale was grown under Mediterranean conditions, mode of utilization and N fertilization
resulted in greater forage yield and quality, while mycorrhizal fungus inoculation influenced positively forage nutritional
quality parameters
