Title: | Bacterial metabolites in the crop, ileum and caecum depend on milling method, thermal treatment and particle size of feed in laying hens | Contributor(s): | Ruhnke, Isabelle (author)![]() |
Publication Date: | 2014 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17536 | Abstract: | Feed processing including milling techniques and thermal treatments, as well as feed particle size can significantly affect physiological processes in the digestive tract of laying hens and broiler chickens. Additionally, it has been shown that feeding coarse particles alters bacterial colonization in broiler chickens. However, the effect of feed processing on the intestinal bacteria of laying hens has rarely been investigated to date. We hypothesized that bacterial metabolites in the gastrointestinal tract of hens can be affected by feed processing, such as milling method, thermal treatment, and feed particle size. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | 18th Congress of the European Society of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition (ESVCN), Utrect, Netherlands, 11th - 13th September, 2014 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 18th Congress of the European Society of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition | Publisher: | European Society of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition | Place of Publication: | online | Field of Research (FOR): | 070204 Animal Nutrition | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO): | 830309 Poultry | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Statistics to Oct 2018: | Visitors: 346 |
