In the study, the effects of in ovo injection of amino acids (L-methionine, L-lysine, and Larginine) and their combinations on hatching traits, post-hatch performance, cell-mediated immune response and blood profile of FUNAAB Alpha broiler chicken were evaluated. The study was carried out in two trials. In the first trial, a total of 360 hatching eggs of indigenous chicken were fumigated, weighed and placed in the incubator. On day 14 of incubation, candling was done and eggs with living embryos were distributed into four treatments; Control (un-injected eggs), L-methionine injected eggs, L-arginine injected eggs and L-lysine injected eggs. Each egg was injected 0.5 mL solution of the amino acid on day18. Hatched chicks were distributed into three replicates containing 30 chicks each. In trial 2, another 360 hatching eggs were used in the treatments which were; Control (eggs without amino acid injection), L-arginine injected eggs, combination of L-arginine and L-methionine injected eggs and combination of L-arginine and L-lysine injected eggs. On day 21 post-hatch, cell-mediated immune response, haematological and serum biochemical parameters were determined. Data obtained from the two trials were subjected to Completely Randomized Design. Results revealed the highest hatchability of 70.27% in the control treatment (un-injected), followed by 51.35% in arginine-injected eggs with the lowest (2.70%) in methionine-injected eggs. Arginine was found to enhance hatchability while L-methionine injected in ovo decreased hatchability. In the second trial, the results showed highest hatchability (89.58%) in eggs under the control, followed by 39.29%, 30.80% and 21.43% in eggs injected with the combination of arginine and lysine, arginine injected eggs, and those with arginine and methionine combination, respectively. Significant (p<0.05) differences in growth performance were only observed in the feed conversion ratio and percentage survivability. Better feed conversion ratio of 2.18 and 2.29 were recorded in birds injected with arginine and the control as against those subjected to combined arginine and methionine (2.96) as well as combined arginine and lysine (3.12). Survivability of 100% was recorded in chickens from arginine-injected eggs in ovo injection and chickens from eggs injected with the combination of arginine and methionine. The study concluded that in ovo injection of arginine either singly or in combination with lysine or methionine positively influenced hatchability, chick weight and growth performance without any deleterious effect on the blood profile of the post-hatch chicks.

A total of two-hundred-and-forty day old broiler chicks were used to study the response of broiler birds to diets containing graded levels of tiger nut residue (TNR) as a replacement for maize. The diets consisted of 0, 10, 20 and 30% of TNR as a replacement for maize as T1 (control), T2, T3 and T4 respectively. The birds were allotted to four dietary treatments of 4 replicates each containing 60 and 15 birds respectively in a completely randomized design. The data obtained from the experiment were subjected to one - way analysis of variance. The results showed that average weight gain (AWG) and final weight gain (FWG) were high for birds fed 10% TNR and increased numerically than the 0, 20 and 30% groups at the starter phase. In the finisher phase the average weight gain (AWG) and final weight gain (FWG) followed the same trend. Feed intake was not significantly affected by the diet at the starter and finisher phases. In the starter phase the T1 (control) recorded the best and the lowest feed conversion ratio but in the finisher phase, the best feed conversion ratio was observed in T2. The TNR inclusion had no significant (p˃0.05) effect on live weight, dressed weight, dressing percentage, cut-parts and organs of the birds. The haematological parameters were not significantly (p˃0.05) affected by the diets. All the biochemical parameters determined; serum protein, albumin, globulin, urea, creatinine, ALT, AST, cholesterol and triglyceride were not significantly (p˃0.05) affected by the treatment diet. It was concluded that tiger nut residue (TNR) as a replacement for maize at a 30% level of inclusion did not cause any deleterious effects on the performance, carcass and blood profiles of broilers

This study was carried out to determine the effects of in ovo pollen extract injection on growth parameters, ileal histomorphology, and caecal microflora of fasted broiler chicks. In this experiment, 2×2 factorial experimental design was used. One d old, 120 healthy broiler chicks were allocated to 4 treatment groups and 6 replicates (5 mixed sex chicks allocated each replicates). Treatment groups were: A) Pollen extract injection and 24 h fasting (P24); B) Pollen extract injection and 48 h fasting (P48), C) Control, no injection 24 h fasting (C24) and D) Control, no injection 48 h fasting (C48). The experiment lasted 21 days. Live weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio were recorded weekly. Ileal histomorphology, caecal microbiota, organ weight were recorded at 21th days of experiment. In ovo pollen extract injection did not affect hatchability rate. At the end of 21 days, in ovo pollen extract injection did not affect feed intake, live weight gain, feed conversion ratio, inner organ development and ileal villi width irrespective to fasting 24 h and 48 h. In ovo pollen extract injection increased ileal villi length, caecal lactic acid bacteria and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae count, decreased caecal Enterobactericaea count. In conclusion, in ovo pollen extract injection can be applied for broiler eggs to improve weight gain, better digestion and gut health.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of in ovo injection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) to fertile Ross 308 broiler eggs or dietary supplementation on growth performance, internal organ development, gut histomorphology and cecum microbiota during 14 d of growing period. This study was designed as 2×2 factorial experimental design. Fertile 92 Ross 308 eggs were injected with SC solution 0.2ml at 18d of hatch and 90 eggs non-injected as control, afterward dietary SC supplementation was applied during the 14 d to broiler diet. In this study, 160 broiler chicks were used in four treatment groups at 10 replicate for each treatment group and 4 chicks for each replicates. Treatment groups were A) in ovo SC injection + dietary SC supplementation, B) in ovo SC injection + basal diet, C) no injection + dietary SC supplementation, D) no injection + basal diet as control. Live weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and gut histomorphology, caecum microbiota, internal organ weight were recorded at 14 days of age. Live weight gain increased in C group than in the D group. Feed consumption, feed conversion ratio and internal organ weights were not affected by the treatments. Villi length and villi width increased in A group among the other treatment groups in jejunum, villi length increased in A and C groups among the other groups in ileum. Villi length/villi width ratio increased in A group than in the D group in ileum, was not different in jejunum. LAB counts in caecum were higher in A group than those of C and D groups, but was not different from B group. Enterobactericaea count was lower in A and B group than in the D group, was not different from C group. To conclude, results showed that dietary Saccharomyces cerevisiae supplementation increased broiler growth at 14 day by increasing villi development and improving gut health.

Контрольная группа бройлеров получала полнорационный комбикорм растительного типа, сбалансированный по всем питательным веществам, а опытная - полнорационный комбикорм аналогичной питательности с включением изучаемой рыбной муки в количестве 5% до 21 суток и 3% - с 22 до 28 суток. С 29 суток рыбная мука исключалась из рациона. Рыбная мука содержала 3,66% влаги, 76,70% сырого протеина, 7,97% сырого жира. При этом содержание кальция составило 4,51% , фосфора - 2,62%, натрия - 1,10%; уровень лизина составлял 7,09%, а метионина + цистина - 3,36%. Живая масса бройлеров в возрасте 35 суток в опытной группе достоверно повысилась на 7,54% (р<0,001), а конверсия корма снизилась на 6,84%. Рыбная мука не оказала существенного негативного влияния на вкусовые качества мяса; содержание сырого протеина в грудных мышцах в опытной группе было на 3,35% выше, сырого жира - на 1,09% ниже, чем в контроле. Сделан вывод, что ввод высокопротеиновой рыбной муки в комбикорма позволяет получить хорошую сохранность, живую массу и приросты живой массы бройлеров за счет лучшего использования питательных веществ, причем улучшение продуктивности и меньшее использование синтетических аминокислот полностью окупает затраты на рыбную муку. PROTEIN-RICH FISHMEAL IN COMPOUND FEEDS FOR BROILERS EGOROV I.A.1, EGOROVA T.V.1, SHEVYAKOV A.N.1, KLEINERMAN YU.E.2 1 Federal Scientific Center “All-Russian Research and Technological Institute of Poultry” of Russian Academy of Sciences 2 Vetsnab, LCC The chemical composition of protein-rich fishmeal (produced by Vetsnab, LCC ) and its efficiency as protein additive for broilers were studied. The fishmeal contained (%): moisture 3.66; crude protein 76.70; crude fat 7.97; calcium 4.51; phosphorus 2.62; sodium 1.10; lysine 7.09; methionine+cystine 3.36. Two treatments of broilers (cross Smena-9, 1-35 days of age, 70 birds per treatment) were fed similar vegetable diets with equal nutritive value and reared in similar management conditions; in the experimental diets soybean meal was partially substituted by fishmeal at the levels 5% of total diet since 1 to 21 days of age and 3% since 22 to 28 days; since 29 days the treatments were fed similar vegetable finisher diets. Live bodyweight at 35 days of age in the experimental treatment was significantly higher by 7.54% in compare to control (p<0.001), feed conversion ratio lower by 6.84%. Sensory evaluation of breast and thigh meat evidenced the absence of negative impact of the fishmeal on the taste; concentration of crude protein in breast muscles was higher by 3.35%, crude fat lower by 1.09% in compare to control. The conclusion was made that supplementation of starter and grower diets for broilers with protein-rich fishmeal results in better productive performance and digestibility of dietary nutrients in compare to entirely vegetable diets without the deterioration of meat quality; better productivity in broilers and lower use of the synthetic amino acids in the diets entirely compensate for the fishmeal related expenses.

SUMMARY1. Weanling male rats were used in three experiments to evaluate the sequence of limiting amino acids for maximum growth with diets based on wheats containing 10, 13 or 17% crude protein (N×5·71).2. Lysine was the first-limiting, threonine the second-limiting, and valine or methionine the third- or fourth-limiting amino acid for growth rate and feed-conversion ratio of rats offered the diet based on wheat containing 10% crude protein. A further four amino acids (isoleucine, histidine, tryptophan and tyrosine) were limiting for feed-conversion ratio only.3. For the diet based on wheat containing 13% crude protein the sequence of limiting amino acids was lysine, threonine and methionine.4. Only lysine was limiting in the diet based on wheat containing 17% crude protein.5. Plasma-free amino-acid concentrations were found to be a valuable criterion for prediction of the first-limiting amino acid in diets.6. Improvement of growth and feed-conversion ratio was observed with diets based on wheat containing 17 or 13% crude protein when the limiting amino acids were supplemented to provide the recommended allowance. Further improvement in feed-conversion ratio was obtained when lysine and threonine were provided in excess of the recommended allowances.7. There was a lysine-threonine interaction affecting growth rate and feed-conversion ratio, and a lysine-me.thionine interaction affecting feed-conversion ratio.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fresh culture product and microencapsulated Bacillus NP5 for the growth performance and immune response of common carp infected by Aeromonas hydrophilla. The 5.09 ± 0.01g common carps were reared in aquarium and fed 3 times a day for 30 days. The dose of probiotic added to feed was 1%. The treatments in this study were positive and negative control (K+ and K-; without probiotic addition), the addition of fresh culture probiotic (A), and the addition of microencapsulated probiotic (B). Each treatment was repeated in 3 replications. On day 31, the fish of K+, A, and B were injected by 0.1mL (107cfu/mL) A. Hydrophilla. While the fish of K- were injected by phosphate buffer saline (PBS). The post-infection observation was carried out for 14 days. Treatment B showed the better results which were 96% survival rate, 2.66% of daily grown rate, 1.65 of feed conversion ratio, total bacteria in the intestine and immune response which were better than control.Keywords : Bacillus NP5, fresh culture, microencapsulated, Aeromonas hydrohilla, common carp
