The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of partial replacement of soyabean meal (SBM) with 35% of raw or fermented faba beans (RFB and FFB, respectively) on the development of the gastrointestinal tract and growth performance in young turkeys. FB were fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum. In comparison with RFB, FFB had similar crude protein content, but lower NDF and higher ADF contents...
A two-factor experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of varying dietary levels (10, 20 and 30%) of faba bean (FB; Vicia faba L.) seeds with high- and low-tannin content (HT and LT, respectively) on the gastrointestinal function and performance of turkeys during the last 6 weeks of rearing. In the control group (FB0 ), birds were fed maize-soyabean meal-based diets. In comparison with HT FB...
The study was conducted on 672 one-day-old female Hybrid Converter turkeys divided into 6 dietary treatments (7 replications per group) which differed in DL-methionine (DL-Met) supplementation levels. The Met content in diets between 1 – 4/5 – 8 weeks of feeding was as follows: 4.1/3.7, 4.7/4.1, 5.6/4.6, 6.1/5.0, 6.8/6.5 and 7.5/7.4 g · kg-1. In groups 3 and 5, dietary Met levels corresponded to those...
It was hypothesized that dietary polyphenol-rich fruit pomaces can improve the antioxidant status of both diets and the tissues of turkeys fed such diets. Turkeys were fed diets containing a cellulose preparation (C) or 5% dried apple pomace (AP), blackcurrant pomace (BCP), strawberry pomace (SP) and seedless strawberry pomace (SSP). Blood and liver biochemical parameters were determined in 7 birds...
The objective of this study was to verify the hypothesis that increasing levels of dietary methionine can stimulate the mechanisms of cell-mediated and humoral immunity in young turkeys. The blood and organs involved in cell-mediated and humoral immune responses were analyzed in 8-week-old turkeys that had been vaccinated against Ornithobacterium rhinotraheale (ORT) infection (on days 17 and 48)....
The aim of this study was to determine body weight gains, feed intake and feed consumption patterns in turkeys, when offered a choice of various feed ingredients (protein-fat-mineral-vitamin concentrate pellets, ground-pelleted wheat and whole grain wheat). The experiment started on 264 male Hybrid Converter turkeys aged 4 weeks, divided into four experimental groups with six replicates per treatment...
This study evaluated the effects of dietary replacement of soyabean meal (SBM) with yellow lupine seed meal (YLM) in turkeys. A total of 1120 one-day-old Hybrid Converter female turkeys were fed diets containing 0%, 8%, 16% and 24% of YLM (LM0 , LM8 , LM16, LM24, respectively) in a 16-week experiment. In the first phase of feeding (weeks 0–4), an increase in the YLM content of diets caused a linear...
The objective of this study was to verify the hypothesis that adding dried fruit pomaces differing in their polyphenol contents to diets for young turkeys does not compromise bird performance. Young turkeys aged up to 15 weeks were fed diets containing a cellulose preparation (C) or 5% dried apple pomace (AP), blackcurrant pomace (BCP), strawberry pomace (SP), or seedless strawberry pomace (SSP)....
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different levels of dietary methionine on selected immune parameters of young turkeys. A total of 357 one-day-old female Hybrid Converter turkeys were randomly divided into three groups with low, medium and high level of dietary methionine (LM, MM, HM) of seven replicates each. Methionine was added to the basal diet (LM) at 0.16% (MM) and...
