A previous study showed that the use of a capsicum oleoresin based additive (Luctarom Convert – LOM) was able to improve dietary fat digestibility in broilers. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of LOM on growth performance of broiler chickens fed diets differing on its fat source. A…
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of supplementing a bioactive extract from Olea europaea (EOE) in broiler diets on growth performance. For this purpose, 252 1-d broiler chickens (Ross 308) housed in floor pens were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups (6 pens / treatment, with 14 birds…
Traditionally, bile acids (BA) have been viewed as detergent molecules involved in the intestinal digestion and absorption of lipids and hepatic maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis. During the last 15 years, however, it has become clear that BA are important regulatory molecules with systemic endocrine functions that signal changes in luminal…
En cualquier especie animal, la modulación del comportamiento ingestivo implica cambios en su patrón de consumo en el corto plazo, el cual se evalúa teniendo en cuenta la distribución, el número, el tamaño y la duración de las comidas a lo largo del día, partiendo de la base de que…
The evolution of the chemical senses has resulted in a sensory apparatus for high taste and smell acuity in mammals and birds to ensure self-nourishment. Such peripheral chemosensory systems function as a code to unfold the nutritional value of feedstuffs. Food ingestion simultaneously evokes odor, taste and thermo-mechanical (somatosensing) sensations.…
