Chestnut Wood Tannins in Broiler Diets: Pharmacokinetics, Serum Levels during Rearing, and Intestinal Absorption Pattern of Gallic Acid Open
Studies on the bioavailability, serum levels, and absorption of hydrolyzable tannin compounds are lacking. In this study, we performed a pharmacokinetic trial, measured the serum levels of compounds in broilers that were reared with differ…

Chestnut tannins in broiler diets: Affecting intestinal development in different feeding phases Open
It is known that high doses of various tannins could impair broiler growth, and this seems to be linked to a lowered protein availability. However, effects on protein digestion under the influence of hydrolysable tannins were minimal in pr…

Chestnut tannins in broiler diets: performance, nutrient digestibility, and meat quality Open
In 2 broiler trials, the effects of chestnut tannins on performance and meat quality (trial 1), and digestion (trial 2) were evaluated. In both trials, Ross 308 broilers received one of 2 basal diets: one basal diet contained corn and soy …

Forecasting COVID-19 Severity by Intelligent Optical Fingerprinting of Blood Samples Open
Forecasting COVID-19 disease severity is key to supporting clinical decision making and assisting resource allocation, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). Here, we investigated the utility of time- and frequency-related features o…

Improving Ruminal Degradibility Of Oil Palm Fronds Using Enzyme Extracts From White Rot Fungi Open
Background: Oil palm fronds (OPF) when pretreated with white rot fungi (WRF) shows increased rumen degradability but with significant biomass loss. Thus, effects of pre-treated OPF with enzyme extracts from WRF on rumen degradability were …

Comparing two techniques for viscosity measurements in poultry feedstuffs: does it render similar conclusions? Open
Viscosity of intestinal contents is known to affect digestion and absorption of nutrients. In most poultry studies, intestinal viscosity has been measured only after complete removal of solid particles by centrifugation. Centrifugation may…

Does release of encapsulated nutrients have an important role in the efficacy of xylanase in broilers? Open
The non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) in cell walls can act as a barrier for digestion of intracellular nutrients. This effect is called "cage effect." Part of the success of fibrolytic enzymes in broiler feed is assumed to be attributed t…
