“…There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in digestibility of any of the nutrients in the treatments, a result that is consistent with the observations by Dziuk et al (1985), in a study with birds, and Maia et al (2010), in research with the same levels used in this study, but with dogs.…”

-The effect of the additives Yucca schidigera (YSC) and zeolite (clinoptilolite) on digestibility, fecal texture and odor, blood parameters and urine pH of domesticated felines was evaluated. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with twenty-one cats, in two periods, distributed in seven treatments: moist commercial feed (control); control + 125, 250 and 375 ppm YSC; and control + 0.5; 0.75 and 1.0 % zeolite. No differences were observed between the diets regarding apparent digestibility coefficients of nutrient, energy, urine pH or blood parameters. However, levels of 0.5 and 0.75% zeolite were effective both in reducing odor (R 2 = 96.39) and for fecal texture (R 2 = 99.63), showing a quadratic pattern for these variables.Levels of 125 and 375 ppm YSC were also efficient in reducing fecal odor; however they did not adjust to regression. Levels of 0.5% and 0.75% zeolite significantly reduce odor of feces and increase fecal texture when added to commercial feed for cats.

“…demonstrating a complex but deÐnite e †ect of Y schidigera on the osmoregulation of supplemented animals. Interestingly, this e †ect was also observed in caecectomised birds, demonstrating that alterations of the microbial population of the caecum was not responsible for this e †ect (Dziuk et al 1985). Although lowered serum/urine concentration quotients of urea are consistent with reduced rather than increased urea excretion (Beyer and Gelarden 1988), the possibility that blood urea levels are reduced by increased urea clearance rate cannot be ruled out.…”

“…This indicates that net microtubular reabsorption, from glomerular Ðltrate, of these nitrogenous metabolites was lowered relative to that of water and that the supplement alters renal osmoregulation. Indeed Y schidigera supplementation can signiÐcantly reduce ([11%) or increase (]17%) the water requirements of turkeys (Dziuk et al 1985), a Superscripts beside mean denote the number of animals (n) for each group which yielded sufficient serum and urine for both analyses. b As determined by two-way ANOVA.…”

: Y ucca schidigera was fractionated with butan-1-ol, yielding a butanolextractable (BE) fraction, containing all the in vitro antimicrobial activity, and the aqueous, non-butanol-extractable (NBE) fraction. Four groups of Ðve female rats (12 weeks old) were allowed ad libitum access to diets supplemented with water (control) or 200 mg kg~1 total Y schidigera (TOT) or its fraction equivalent of NBE or BE for 64 days. The e †ects of the fractions and their interactions in the TOT treatment were analysed according to the factorial experimental structure by two-way ANOVA. NBE reduced serum urea ([50%, P \ 0É019) and ammonia ([46%, P \ 0É037) concentrations, serum/urine concentration quotients of urea ([79%, P \ 0É009) and ammonia ([57%, P \ 0É002). NBE also reduced hindgut acetate/propionate ([12%, P \ 0É007) but increased faecal ammonia concentration (]87%, P \ 0É039). BE reduced hindgut indoles ([25%, P \ 0É023) and interacted synergystically with NBE in the TOT treatment to further reduce hindgut acetate/propionate by 6% (P \ 0É006). NBE increased (]27%, P \ 0É002) and BE decreased ([57%, P \ 0É005) hindgut urease activity levels, resulting in essentially no change (]4%) in the TOT treatment. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Y schidigera is an unlikely explanation for most of its e †ects in vivo because these are caused by NBE and in vitro antimicrobial activity is exclusive to BE. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin were also exclusive ([98%) to BE and cannot account for the e †ects of Y schidigera on N metabolism.1998 SCI. ( J Sci Food Agric 76, 91È99 (1998)

“…However, yucca saponin fed in a concentration of 63 ppm to turkey poults at 6-14 weeks of age did not significantly improve weight gains, feed conversion, or digestive coefficients. Also in the same research, compared with non-stressed control groups, saponin-fed birds did not have significantly greater average weight gains or feed intakes when stressed by crowding (three poults per cage) or by adding ammonia to the atmosphere (30-35 ppm) (Dziuk et al, 1985).…”

A total of 135 laying quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica), 9 weeks old, were divided into three dietary treatment groups. Three replicates were assigned to each treatment group consisting of 15 birds per cage. The diet was supplemented with 0, 100 and 200 ppm Yucca schidigera powder and given ad libitum to the quails for a period of 14 weeks. Body weight, egg production, feed consumption and feed efficiency were not different due to dietary treatments among the groups. Increased egg weight was determined in the control group. Yucca powder supplementation decreased serum glucose, cholesterol triglyceride level in laying quails. Serum total protein concentration was not changed by dietary treatments but albumin level was decreased in quails fed 100 ppm yucca powder. Egg yolk cholesterol concentration was not significantly different among the groups but tended to decline (11.5%) as a result of yucca supplementation. Red Blood Cell (RBC) and White Blood Cell (WBC) counts, packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) were not affected by supplementation of yucca powder. However, haemoglobin (HB) concentration was slightly increased and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) was significantly increased by 200 ppm yucca powder supplementation to the diet.
