Effects of Beta Vinasse Using on Performance, Egg Production and Egg Quality in Layer Quail Diets

Bu çalışmada, melastan elde edilen bir fermantasyon ürünü olan beta Vinasın yumurtacıbıldırcın rasyonlarında kullanımının performans ve yumurta kalitesi üzerine olan etkilerinideğerlendirmek amaçlandı. Araştırmada, toplam 180 adet 8 haftalık yaşta Japon bıldırcını, hergrupta 60 adet hayvan olacak şekilde üç gruba ayrıldı (5 alt grup her grupta 12 bıldırcın). Denemegrupları sırasıyla; mısır ve soya temeline dayalı bazal rasyona sırasıyla %0 (Kontrol), %1,5 (15g/kg) (Deneme I) ve %3 (30 g/kg) (Deneme II) beta vinas eklenen gruplardan oluşturuldu.Araştırma sonunda, yem tüketimi, yumurta verimi, yumurta ağırlığı ve yemden yararlanma oranıgibi performansa ilişkin parametre değerlerinde istatistiki açıdan önemli farklılıklar tespitedilmedi (P>0,05). Kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında rasyona beta vinas katkısı yumurtakabuk kalınlığı ve yumurta kabuk direncini önemli düzeyde iyileştirdi (P0,05). Sonuç olarak beta vinasın her iki dozunun da yumurtacı bıldırcınlarınyumurta kabuk kalitesinde iyileştirici etkiye sahip olduğu belirlendi.In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of beta vinasse obtained as a byproduct of molasses added to egg quail rations on performance and egg quality. In the experimental study, a total of 180 8-week-old Japanese quails were equally divided into three groups (5 subgroups, 12 quails in each group), 60 in each group. Trial groups, respectively; The control group without additives to the basal ration based on corn and soybeans was formed as 1,5% (15 g/kg) beta vinasse addition - Trial Group I, 3% (30 g/kg) beta vinasse addition - Trial Group II. At the end of the study, there were no statistically significant differences in the values of performance related parameters such as feed consumption, egg yield, egg weight and feed utilization rate (P>0,05). When looking at egg quality parameters, significant differences (P0,05). Egg shell thickness and eggshell breaking strength were measured at higher values in experimental group egg samples. As a result, we can say that the addition of beta vinasse to egg quail diets has an improving effect on egg shell quality

Effects of Beta Vinasse Supplementation on Performance, Meat Quality and Ilio-Caecal Microflora in Quail Rations

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Beta (?)-vinasse supplementation on the live weight (LW), live weight gain (LWG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass yield, meat quality, and ilio-caecal bacteriological flora of quails. A total of 240 5-d-old Japanese (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) quails, including both males and females, were divided into 3 groups 80 quails and treated as follow: a control group (1) with 0 g ?-vinasse/ kg ration; (2) 15 g/kg ?-vinasse and (3) 30 g/kg ?-vinasse. The study lasted for 6 weeks. At the end of the experiment, supplementation with ?-vinasse did not have a significant effect on FI and FCR. Dietary supplementation with 30 g/ kg ?-vinasse significantly (P < 0.05) increased LW (21 d)and LWG (5 to 21 d). The dietary treatment of quails with different levels of ?-vinasse did not affect hot carcass weight, cold carcass weights, hot and cold carcass yields, and breast and thigh pH.The lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) of breast values were significantly (P<0.05) increased by 30 g/kg supplementation. Different levels of ?-vinasse significantly increased Lactobacillus spp. in faeces. As a result, it was concluded that ?-vinasse (by-product obtained from molasses) can be used in quail diets as an alternative feed source that will meet the nutritional needs of the animal and have positive effects on the digestive system, especially on the intestinal health (an increase in Lactobacillus spp. counts). © 2023, Derya Yesilbag YeşilbağThe authors thank Integro for supplying the feed additive supplement

Effects of dietary supplementation of two commercial plant extracts on the growth performance and ileal inflammation score in broiler chickens

We studied the effects on the performance and intestinal health of broiler chickens who were given Macleaya cordata (M. cordata) extract alone and those given a newly developed plant extract mixture (PEM) as a natural feed additive in the diet. Total 240 Ross 308 male chicks were used in this study and divided into 4 groups of 60 chicks each. For the experimental groups, 100 ppm PEM was added to the diet of group I (PEM 100); 200 ppm PEM was added for group II (PEM 200), and 18 ppm M. cordata extract (MCE) was added for group III. Although there were no significant differences in the feed conversion ratio, carcass weight, and carcass yield, other performance variables, including body weight, body weight gain, and feed intake were significantly affected. An analysis of the data from this study showed that specified feed additives decreased the ileal inflammation score without changing the villus height in the duodenum of the chickens. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of MCE supplement alone and the effects of newly developed PEM improved the performance parameters. Moreover, it can be said that it has an intestinal inflammation-reducing effect. Thus, this supplementation may have the potential to improve intestinal health. © 2020 Istanbul University.

Synthesis, characterization and application of a chelating resin for solid phase extraction of some trace metal ions from water, sediment and tea samples

A new chelating resin, poly (2-thiozylmethacrylamide-co-divinylbenzene -co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) was successfully prepared in the present work. Its composition, morphology, and properties were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. Several factors affecting the extraction of the metal ions including pH, the eluent type and concentration, flow rate, sample volume, and effect of interfering ions were investigated. The adsorption capacity of the resin for the elements studied was found in the range of 4.76-13.0 mg g(-1). A preconcentration factor of 150 was achieved at the optimum conditions. The limits of detection (3s/b) varied from 0.23 to 1.07 mu g L-1. The method validation was performed by analyzing certified reference materials (TMDA-70 Fortified lake water, SPS-WW1 Batch 111-Wastewater, RM 8704 Buffalo river sediment, GBW07605 Tea) and spiked water samples. The method was applied to separate and determine the trace levels of Cd(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II) and Pb(II) in the well water, river water, street sediment, and tea samples. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Use of bromass in broiler rations as a different protein source

In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of modified vinasse (Bromass) on body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass yield, litter quality, blood serum parameters and broiler performance index. A total of 600 Ross-308 broiler chicks were used in the experiment, and the chickens were divided into the following 4 main groups: control (0 g/kg Bromass), group I (5 g/kg Bromass), group II (30 g/kg Bromass), and group III (60 g/kg Bmmass). Additionally, each of the main groups was divided into 10 subgroups of 15 chickens each. The trial lasted for 42 days. Supplementation with Bromass (5, 30 and 60 g/kg) caused significant (P < 0.05) increases in the average body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass weights, carcass yield and breast yields. Additionally, Bromass supplementation caused more dry litter at a significant level (P<0.05) and significant (P<0.05) decrease in serum cholesterol concentration. The addition of Bromass to the broiler diets resulted in a significant decrease in feed prices (P<0.05) and an important increase (P<0.05) in the broiler performance index values. At the end of the study, we concluded that the addition of Bromass as a different protein source, especially at the 30 g/kg level, caused positive effects and Bromass makes it possible to produce a more profitable broiler
