The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition, metabolizable energy, the digestibility coefficients of dry matter, crude protein and the amino acids contained in yeast extract supplied to broiler chickens. Two metabolism assays were carried out. In the first assay, 200 14-day old Cobb-500® male broiler chickens were used kept in metallic cages in a randomized complete design in groups of 10 birds per experimental unit. The total excreta collection method was used to determine the apparent […]

The true digestibility coefficients and the values of true digestible amino acids of whole toasted soybean, micronized soybean and five soybean meals samples were determined. The forced feeding method was used with cecectomized adult cockerels. A total of 24 adult Leghorn cockerels averaging 2348 ± 165 g were used. Each feedstuff was fed to six cockerels, with the cockerel the experimental unit, in two replicates in the time. A total of 30 g of the tested feedstuff was forced fed […]
