Variação aniônica da dieta sobre características ósseas de frangos de corte: resistência à quebra, composição orgânica e mineral

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the bone chemical composition and breaking force resistance of tibiotarsus birds at 21 days of age. The bone percentage of colagenous proteins (CP), non colagenous proteins (NCP) and minerals (calcium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium) was analyzed. A total of 650 commercial male broiler chicks were fed corn and soybean diets. A completely randomized block design with five replications of 26 birds per experimental unit was used. The treatments consisted of the basal ration supplemented with NH4Cl in order to obtain five levels (-50; 0; 50; 100 and 150mEq/kg) of electrolyte balance. The EB level affected the percentages of phosphorus, potassium and sodium, PC and PNC, Ca: P relation and breaking force resistance. The reduction of EB diets at levels below 150mEq/kg will affect negatively the mineralization and bone resistance. The breaking force of tibiotarsus is not correlated with the mineral concentration individually, but correlates negatively with the concentration of collagenous and non-collagenous proteins.

Cálcio, fósforo e proteína total no sangue de frangos de corte em função de níveis de balanço eletrolítico da ração

Determinaram-se os melhores valores do balanco eletrolitico (BE) de dietas para frangos quanto aos teores de calcio, fosforo e proteina total no sangue de frangos de corte aos 42 dias de idade. Foram utilizadas 1728 aves de marca comercial, machos. As aves foram alimentadas com duas dietas basais, 20 ou 23% de proteina bruta (PB), na fase inicial, e uma unica racao basal, 20% de PB, na fase de crescimento, combinadas com niveis de balanco eletrolitico de 0; 50; 100; 150; 200; 250; 300 e 350mEq/kg. Foi utilizado delineamento experimental inteiramente ao acaso, em arranjo fatorial, com seis repeticoes de 18 aves cada e 96 unidades experimentais. Foi escolhida uma ave em cada unidade experimental para a coleta de sangue. Foram avaliados os teores de calcio, fosforo e proteinas totais no sangue dessas aves aos 42 dias de idade. Os melhores valores de BE estimados para o teor de proteina total no sangue foram de 101 e 131mEq/kg da dieta, para planos nutricionais de 20-20% e 23-20% de PB, respectivamente. Para os teores plasmaticos de calcio e fosforo, nao foram encontradas diferencas entre os niveis de BE estudados.

Balanço de minerais e desempenho em frangos de corte aos 21 dias de idade alimentados com rações contendo Solanum malacoxylon

It was studied the performance and the amounts of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K) and sodium (Na) excreta and carcasses of broilers at 21 days of age fed addition of Solanum malacoxylon (SM) in rations. It was used a completely randomized design with three treatments: 0.0, 2.5 and 5.0 g of SM/kg diet, five replicates of four birds each. Using 5.0g of SM/kg diet reduced weight gain, decreased feed conversion, although consumption has not been affected. The inclusion of the plant did not affect (p>0.05) the levels of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium in excreta, and consequently the absorption of these minerals. The mineral composition of the carcasses was changed, and the concentrations of Na, Mg and K influenced. It is recommended that the addition to 2.5g of SM/kg of feed for broilers up to 21 days of age.
