FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF THE PROTEIN FEED ADDITIVES BASED ON THE WASTES AND BY-PRODUCTS OF SLAUGHTER AND PROCESSING OF POULTRY

The distribution of molecular weights (MW) of the peptides and anti-oxidative capacity (as oxygen radical absorbing capacity, ORAC) were studied in new protein feed additives produced by the short-term thermal hydrolysis and subsequent fermentation by proteolytic enzymes of the wastes and by-products of slaughter and processing of poultry.The study was financed by the Russian Science Foundation, grant No 17-16-01-028-P

The distribution of molecular weights (MW) of the peptides and anti-oxidative capacity (as oxygen radical absorbing capacity, ORAC) were studied in new protein feed additives produced by the short-term thermal hydrolysis and subsequent fermentation by proteolytic enzymes of the wastes and by-products of slaughter and processing of poultry. The properties of the new additives were compared with traditional protein additives, powdered milk (PM) and fishmeal (FM).The study was financed by the Russian Science Foundation, grant No 17-16-01-028-P

THE EFFECTS OF FEED ADDITIVES BASED ON THE WASTES OF POULTRY PROCESSING ON THE PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AND MEAT QUALITY IN BROILER CHICKS

The wastes of the slaughter and primary processing of poultry could potentially be used as animal protein sources for broilers. Feed additives based on these wastes can solve the problem of their utilization and offer an opportunity to save on the more expensive animal protein sources. As it known, by-products are the most valuable source of animal protein. Of particular interest are the feather and meat and bone residue.There are several ways to obtain hydrolysates. One of them is important for enzymatic hydrolysis.The study was financed by the Russian Science Foundation, grant No 17-16-01-028-P

THE EFFECTS OF FEED ADDITIVES BASED ON THE WASTES OF POULTRY PROCESSING ON THE PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE AND MEAT QUALITY IN BROILER CHICKS

The productive performance and meat quality were studied in broiler chicks fed diets supplemented with easily digestible animal derived protein additives produced by short-term intense thermal treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of keratin- and collagen-containing wastes of slaughter and processing of poultry. The trial was performed on 4 treatments of Ross-308 broilers (50 birds per treatment, from 1 to 38 days of age). Control treatment was fed diet with fishmeal as animal protein source; in treatments 2 and 3 the fishmeal was substituted by enzymatic hydrolysate of feathers (keratin-containing wastes) with and without probiotic preparation, respectively; in treatment 4 the fishmeal was substituted by a mixture of enzymatic hydrolysates of feathers and collagen-containing wastes with probiotic preparation. It was found that average live bodyweight at slaughter age was higher in all experimental treatments in compare to control

Efficiency of alternative electric power industry for poultry farming

The growing poultry industry needs additional energy resources. To improve the efficiency of the energy systems in poultry farms (hereinafter referred to as PF), energy saving options were evaluated by modeling: using different tariffs, changing suppliers, changing the supply voltage, entering the poultry farms to the wholesale electricity and capacity market. Studies have shown that the poultry farms can radically reduce the cost per kilowatt-hour through receiving electricity from an alternative source that works on the saved gas

A Substitute for Fishmeal in the Diet of Broiler Chicks

The aim of this research was to study the biochemical properties of a new protein-rich feed additive produced by the short-term intense thermal treatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of the wastes of poultry slaughter and primary processing (feathers and fluff). It was found that this feather-based fermented feed additive contained high amounts of crude protein (86.52%); and the content of easily digestible low-molecular peptides in the additive was 9% higher compared to fishmeal. The amino acid profiles of the additive and fishmeal were compared. The effectiveness of substituting the additive for fishmeal in the diet of broiler chicks was demonstrated by the in vivoexperiments. The results showed that the digestibility of the dietary nutrients was higher in broilers that were fed the new additive compared to those fed fishmeal, which resulted in higher meat productivity: the average daily weight gains in additive-fed broilers was 3.82% higher (p <0.01) compared to fishmeal-fed control broilers, the dressing was 1.4%higher, the muscle in the carcass was 2.1% higher, and the feed conversion ratio was 3.57%lower. The sensory evaluation scores of the meat and broth were also higher in the additive-fed broilers. Keywords: feedadditive, feather wastes of poultry slaughter, enzymatic hydrolysis, distribution of molecular peptide weights, digestibility, productive performance in broiler

Comparison of the Microbiota and Inorganic Anion Content in the Saliva of Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Free Individuals

The oral cavity is one of the most complex microbial environments; however, the complex nature of the salivary microbiota and the level of inorganic anions in the saliva of subjects with and without gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are poorly understood. The primary goals of this pilot research were to assess differences in salivary bacterial community composition and inorganic anion concentrations between patients with GERD and GERD-free people. Thus, the salivary microbiota within both groups was dominated by these genera: Streptococcus, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Veillonella, Neisseria, Haemophilus, Fusobacterium, Rothia, and Leptotrichia. However, the relative abundances of the genera Actinomyces, Atopobium, Stomatobaculum, Ruminococcaceae_[G-2], Veillonella, and Leptotrichia were significantly higher in the saliva samples of patients with GERD, while the genera Porphyromonas, Gemella, Peptostreptococcus, and Neisseria were less abundant in this group. The concentrations of chloride, phosphate, and sulphate ions in the human saliva varied among all subjects and sampling time. These results broaden our knowledge of the salivary microbial community composition and chemistry of saliva of patients with GERD and GERD-free individuals
