Determination of Nutrient Mass Balance in Turkeys

Abstract: Retention and excretion of phosphorus and nitrogen were determined for turkeys fed 2 diets at 3 ages, via mass balance based on the nutrient content of consumed feed, carcasses, and litter. The 2 diets consisted of an industry diet (IND) and a low phosphorus + 600 U of phytase/kg (LP) diet. A subsample of birds was weighed and killed at 12, 15, and 18 wk of age for nutrient retention (via whole carcasses) and excretion (via litter). Diet did not affect BW or feed intake from 12 to 18 wk of age. The mass of pho… Show more

“…Phytase has been used extensively in poultry to improve digestibility of phytate-bound P and to minimize P excretion into the environment (Adedokun et al 2004;Applegate et al 2008;Adeola and Cowieson 2011). However, the amount of improvement as a result of exogenous phytase supplementation differs between studies as a result of feed ingredient types, diet matrix, and age of birds (Adeola and Cowieson 2011).…”

“…with increasing age and weight, N excretion per day per bird increases due to higher daily feed intake (NRC, 1994;Smith et al, 2000;Pope et al, 2004;Applegate et al, 2008). with increasing age and weight, N excretion per day per bird increases due to higher daily feed intake (NRC, 1994;Smith et al, 2000;Pope et al, 2004;Applegate et al, 2008).…”
