The chemical composition and amino acids (AA) digestibility were determined in insect meals from mealworms, crickets, black soldier fly (BSF) larvae and BSF prepupae, and soybean meal. Six caecectomised laying hens were individually housed in metabolism cages and fed either a basal diet or one of five assay diets. Diets and hens were arranged in a 6 × 6 Latin square design with 6 subsequent periods. In each period, the laying hens were fed their respective diet for 9 d, and excreta samples were quantitatively collected twice daily from day 5 to 8...

Particle size and storage time are factors that can affect the fermentation quality and digestibility of rehydrated corn grain silage (RCS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of particle size and storage time on chemical and microbiological characteristics, aerobic stability, and ruminal degradability of RCS. Corn grains were ground to pass through either a 3 mm (fine) or 9 mm (coarse) screen, rehydrated to 44.3% moisture and ensiled in 200 L polyethylene buckets. Samples were taken before and after ensiling at 10, 30, 90 and 200 days of storage to assess microbial counts, fermentation end products, and DM ruminal degradability...

Vitamin D3 has an integral part in calcium and phosphorus homoeostasis, which in turn plays a key role in egg production of hens. The present study aimed to investigate whether an additional vitamin D3 supplementation improves the laying performance and egg quality of hens according to their genetic potential. For this purpose, four layer lines (low performing: R11 and L68; high performing: WLA and BLA) supplemented either with 300 or 3000 IU vitamin D3 per kg feed were compared concerning serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3 ), calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), laying performance and egg quality...

Concentrate-rich starter diets are commonly fed to dairy calves to stimulate growth performance. However, feeding high amounts of starter feed with low inclusion of forage fibre may jeopardise the development of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Moreover, studies investigating the effects of feeding on carcass and meat quality of young calves at rearing are rare. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of hay quality and concentrate inclusion on the traits of GIT development, slaughter performance and veal quality of young dairy calves...

The use of enrichment and bedding materials in pig husbandry intends to comply with the animals' behavioural needs to perform natural exploratory behaviour, which is strongly connected to foraging behaviour. It can thus be assumed that pigs will ingest a certain material quantity possibly posing a risk to animal health and food safety as previous studies identified contaminants in enrichment and bedding materials. However, risk assessment requires knowledge about the effective amount of ingested material. Voluntary material intake of pigs with free access to peat and disinfectant powder was estimated by measuring the tissue levels of toxic metals originating from the respective materials in 28 pigs (seven groups, n  = 4) via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and comparing the results to tissue levels of pigs fed with known amounts of metals...

Replacement of soybean oil by insect fat from Hermetia illucens (HI) has been reported to increase the proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and decrease those of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in total lipids of breast and thigh meat in broilers. Since the susceptibility of meat to oxidation is strongly dependent on its PUFA content, the present study hypothesised that replacement of soybean oil by HI larvae fat in broiler diets reduces the formation of lipid oxidation products, including oxidation products of cholesterol and phytosterols, in heat-processed breast muscle of broilers...

Leucine improves the exocrine capacity of the cow pancreas, but the mechanism was not revealed clearly. Mitogen-activated protein kinase-interacting kinase 1 (MNK1) is a pancreatic acinar cell-specific stress response kinase that regulates digestive enzyme abundance. We aimed to investigate the MNK1 gene and protein expression profiles among various organs or tissues of dairy cows and to demonstrate the mechanism by which leucine-stimulated MNK1 regulates pancreatic exocrine function. Firstly, the expression profiles of MNK1 protein and gene in the tissues and organs of dairy cows were measured using immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR methods...

Chromium is a trace element essential in metabolising carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins and is involved in other biological functions. Therefore, this study determined whether chromium propionate supplementation in dogs improves haematologic, metabolic, immune/inflammatory, and antioxidant biomarkers. A commercial product (Labex® Chromium) containing 0.4% chromium was used at 500 g/ton of food, which provided an additional calculated amount of 2 mg of chromium per kg of food. We used ten beagles divided into two treatments: the chromium group (supplemented with 0...

High amounts of grains in the equine diet led to high starch intake, causing gut alterations. Aimed at reducing harmful effects, Macleaya cordata extract (MCE) is a phytogenic additive that stands out for its antibiotic and anti-inflammatory effects proven in different species. However, there is no useful information for horses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different levels of the inclusion of commercial MCE on body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), total apparent digestibility (AD) of nutrients, faecal pH and fermentative products, on ponies fed a high-starch diet...

Corn peptide (CP) is a small, natural, biologically active peptide obtained by protease-catalysed hydrolysis of corn. CP exerts antihypertensive, hypoglycaemic, antihyperlipidemic, antioxidant, and antitumor effects, as well as prevents cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Although CP plays a role in preventing obesity-related diseases, its role in reducing obesity has not yet been determined. In this study, we analysed the inhibitory effects of CP on lipid droplet accumulation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced C57BL/6J Obese Mice...
