Abstract

The aim of this research was to study the effect of different levels of the extruded full-fat soybean (EFFSB) on growth performance and serum lipids of male turkeys. A trial was carried out using 300 one day male turkey B.U.T (big 6) during 3 feeding periods (starter, grower and finisher, 18 weeks). Poults were selected and divided into four experimental groups with three replicates containing 25 poults each, in a completely randomized design, and were fed experimental diets for 18 weeks. Treatments consisted on: T1 (control, SBM), T2 (10% EFFSB), T3 (15% EFFSB) and T4 (20% EFFSB). There were negligible changes in mortality. The results showed that the level of feed intake was decreased, while feed efficiency and body weight gain was improved in male turkey fed with different levels of the EFFSB. As a result, the best growth performance was determined for male turkeys fed diets containing 15% and 20% of EFFSB, which was exceeded significantly (p<0.05). The experiment confirmed that addition of extruded full-fat soybean in male turkey diets had influenced on serum lipids, so that cholesterol and triglyceride were reduced significantly (p<0.05) on serum lipids of male turkey.

Highlights

  • Growth depression effects due to anti-nutritional factors (ANF's) present in soybeans have been well documented for more than half a century [1,2]

  • Other additional advantages of the bean in the European Union-15 are its nature as a plant and its high-unsaturated fat content. observed those turkeys between 2 and 3 weeks old digested fats 15% more efficiently than chicks of a similar age [4], which corresponds with the results of Mossab for soybean oil [5]

  • Serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) carries about 75% of total cholesterol in broiler [39], it is more likely that this lipoprotein may be more influence by the type of dietary fat. The results of this experiment point to that use of extruded full-fat soybean in male turkey diets did not has any negative effect on performance of male Turkeys during the whole period

Summary

Introduction

Growth depression effects due to anti-nutritional factors (ANF's) present in soybeans have been well documented for more than half a century [1,2]. There are few recent works on the influence of the level of use and processing of beans on productivity in turkeys. When preparing formulations in practice, the percentages of use have increased recently, frequently discovering diets with inclusion levels of up to 25%. On the other hand diets for turkeys are very concentrated in protein (for newly-born) and in energy (fattening stages) and as a result, in both cases the composition and concentration of these two nutrients in the bean have high values. Other additional advantages of the bean in the European Union-15 are its nature as a plant and its high-unsaturated fat content. Observed those turkeys between 2 and 3 weeks old digested fats 15% more efficiently than chicks of a similar age [4], which corresponds with the results of Mossab for soybean oil [5] Other additional advantages of the bean in the European Union-15 are its nature as a plant and its high-unsaturated fat content. observed those turkeys between 2 and 3 weeks old digested fats 15% more efficiently than chicks of a similar age [4], which corresponds with the results of Mossab for soybean oil [5]
