“…In addition, high-moisture storage of barley has been shown to decrease the viscosity of barley extract (Hesselman et al, 1981;Åman et al 1990). In broiler diets, high-moisture stored barley leads to less sticky droppings and increases the dry matter content of excreta and the cleanness of cages and feathers (Hesselman et al, 1981;Svihus et al, 1995Svihus et al, , 1997a. Furthermore, b -glucanase has been shown to decrease ileal digesta viscosity (Almirall et al, 1995;Esteve-Garcia et al, 1997;Fuente et al, 1998), a finding consistent with the present study.…”

“…These compounds reduce the nutritive value of barley by increasing digesta viscosity and thus reducing the availability of nutrients for digestion and absorption. Furthermore, the growth rate of broilers fed on barley-based diets is reduced, food:gain ratio is increased and excreta become wet and sticky compared to those fed wheat-based diets (Hesselman et al, 1981;Svihus et al, 1995). Consequently, barleybased diets are commonly supplemented with bglucanase to overcome the antinutritional effects of b -glucans (Hesselman and Åman, 1986;Pettersson et al, 1991).…”

“…High-moisture storage has reduced the bglucan content of barley, decreased digesta viscosity and improved the food:gain ratio and nutrient digestibility in broiler chickens (Svihus et al, 1995). Therefore, the benefit of b -glucanase supplementation of high-moisture barley based diets is subject to uncertainty.…”

“…Therefore, the benefit of b -glucanase supplementation of high-moisture barley based diets is subject to uncertainty. Furthermore, amino acids in high-moisture barley would be expected to be more readily available than in dried barley, since b -glucan degradation during ensiling can potentially improve amino acid digestibility (Svihus et al, 1995). In addition, high-moisture storage of wheat has improved the digestibility of phosphorus in broilers (Svihus et al, 1995;1997a).…”

1. Effects of preservation method (drying or air-tight storage of whole grain and ensiling of rolled high-moisture grain) and beta-glucanase supplementation (Econase) on apparent ileal amino acid digestibilities and metabolisable energy content of barley were evaluated with Ross broiler chickens. In addition, the effect of barley preservation method was assessed using Leghorn cockerels. 2. Birds were given either a semi-purified soyabean meal basal diet or a mixture of the basal diet and barley (50:50 on dry matter basis). Apparent ileal digestibilities (AID) of nutrients were assessed using the slaughter technique. AID of nutrients and nutrient digestibility measured using excreta (AED) were determined using chromium mordanted straw as an indigestible marker. 3. In broilers, AID of amino acids, dry matter and organic matter were lower for dried than air-tight stored barley, particularly for diets based on ensiled barley. In cockerels, barley preservation method had no effect on amino acid AID. The AED of nutrients and nitrogen corrected apparent metabolisable energy content (AMEn) was highest for ensiled barley across both experiments. 4. beta-glucanase supplementation increased nutrient digestibility, phosphorus retention and AMEn content of air-tight stored and dried barley diets in particular but had only negligible effects on ensiled barley. Beta-glucanase improved the AID of amino acids in dried barley but not in air-tight stored or ensiled barley. 5. Amino acid digestibilities were lower in broilers than cockerels and the effect of barley preservation on feeding value of barley was different for broilers and cockerels.

Barley, oats, and wheat were stored anaerobically for three months after adjusting the dry matter content to 60%. The content of true protein was reduced when grains were high-moisture stored, but the amino acid content was not affected to the same extent. High-moisture storage decreased the soluble dietary fibre and soluble β-glucan content in barley and oats, and simultaneously the extract viscosity of the grain was reduced to the same level as for wheat. In two experiments with two to five week old broiler chickens given diets with 70% dried or high-moisture stored grain, feed:gain ratio was reduced (P < 0.05) to the same level as for the wheat diets when high-moisture stored barley instead of dried barley was fed, and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, fat, and minerals increased (P < 0.05). Weight gain and cleanness of cages also increased (P < 0.05), and the relative size of the digestive tract was reduced (P < 0.05). Digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, and minerals increased (P < 0.05) when highmoisture stored oats compared to dried oats were fed, and highmoisture storage of wheat increased (P < 0.05) P and Ca digestibility.

Recent advances in fermented feeds towards improved broiler chicken performance, gastrointestinal tract microecology and immune responses: A review

Previously, fermentation has been associated with methods that improve the nutritional value of unconventional feed ingredients for broilers. In recent decades, the fermentation process has been employed to produce functional feeds that have the potential to improve broiler gastrointestinal tract microecology, health and production performance. Some of the functional ingredients found in fermented feed include lactic acid bacteria (LAB), lactic acid and other organic acids, and appear to play major roles in determining the beneficial effects of fermented feed on broiler gut health and performance. Unlike the pig, the available literature on broiler fermented feed is still rather limited. This review describes recent advances in the use of fermented feed (on the basis of conventional and unconventional feed ingredients) in broilers. Similarly, this review also shows that additional research is necessary to exploit fermented feed as a viable food source in broiler nutrition.
