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...
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)....
This review briefly summarizes the results of recent studies investigating the effects of different dietary sodium (Na) levels on gastrointestinal function, excreta moisture content, incidence of footpad dermatitis (FPD), tibia mineralization, and growth performance in turkeys. Research shows that an increase in the sodium content of turkey diets from 0.07% to approximately 0.22% led to minor changes...
The objective of this study was to determine the physiological responses and growth performance of turkeys fed 20% whole wheat (WW) in two feeding programmes, diets A and B, consistent with the NRC (1994) and B.U.T. (2012) recommendations, respectively. In diet B, in successive feeding periods (weeks 5–18), the soyabean meal content was increased by 2.89% to 5.13%, the wheat content was decreased...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of varying levels of whole-grain wheat in the diet (12.5%, 25%, 37.5% and 50%) on the particle size spectra of duodenal digesta and nutrient digestibility in young turkeys. After feeding from 4 to 8 weeks of age, a linear increase in particles larger than 2 mm (P = 0.002) and a linear decrease in particles ranging in size from 1 to 2 mm and...
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of moderate dilution (gradually up to 22.5%) of standard diets (C) with wheat in different physical forms, ground and pelleted (GW) or whole (WW), on growth rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass yield, and incidence of footpad dermatitis (FPD) in growing heavy-type turkeys. Dietary treatments in which part of the basal diet (control, C)...
The objective of this study was to determine the physiological effect of supplementing turkey diets with different vegetable oils, i.e. soyabean (S) oil, rapeseed (R) oil and linseed (L) oil, which have different concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The total contents of n-6 PUFA and n-3 PUFA were as follows: diet S, 49.7 and 7.02%, diet R, 33.0 and 7.96%, and diet L, 30.3 and 30...
The objective of this study was to determine the response of broiler chickens to different dietary sodium (Na) levels. The experiment was performed on 432 male Ross 308 chickens, kept in three-tier battery cages, each with a floor area of 0.5 m2. The chickens were divided into six experimental groups of eight replicates, each of nine birds. Six experimental diets were prepared: a basal diet without...
The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of a different dietary content of sunflower meal (SFM) and the efficiency of an non-starch polysaccharide (NSP)-degrading enzyme preparation on growth and gut function of young turkeys. A total of 1512 one-day-old male turkey poults were randomly assigned to 8 dietary treatments, with 7 pens per treatment and 27 birds per pen. Experimental...
