Bird Weight

Two trials were conducted to study the effect of feeding barley silage on the behaviour and performance of beak-trimmed laying hens. In each trial, 20 hens and 2 roosters were housed in each of eight group-housed enriched cages, with four cages provided a laying hen diet and four cages additionally given free access to barley silage. Egg production and quality, and hen behaviour were assessed throughout the trials (Trial One 20–30 weeks; Trial Two 19–28 weeks). Data were analysed using Proc Mixed of SAS 9.4 and differences were significant when P ≤ 0.05. Silage-fed hens consumed 41 (13.9 g DM) and 50 (13.5 g DM) grams of silage per hen per day in Trials One and Two, respectively, while consuming less layer diet. Birds fed silage spent less time expressing aggressive and feather-pecking behaviours and in nest boxes, and more time feeding than control birds. Egg production, egg quality, and bird weight were not affected by treatment; yolk colour was darker for the silage treatment. Feathering quality was improved in silage-fed birds compared to control birds. It was concluded that providing hens with access to barley silage can improve welfare indicators without negatively affecting the egg production and egg quality.

Effect Of Feeding

While a considerable amount of information is available on the nutritional properties of rapeseed meal for ruminants, there is only limited information on its suitability and nutritive value as a feed ingredient for pigs. The objective of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the effect of feeding isonitrogenous diets containing rapeseed meals of different origins, but which varied in their glucosinolate content, to pigs. Thus, the effect of the level of dietary glucosinolates from rapeseed meal on the voluntary feed intake and performance of young pigs was investigated. Weaned piglets were chosen as the experimental model because of their sensitivity to unpleasant tastes, their high requirements for protein and their rapid response to the antinutritional components of feedstuffs.
