“…The results of the present study reveal that wet feed reduced BW and WG and increased FI and FCR values. These findings agree with those of Liu et al (2019), who noticed insignificant decreases in BW and WG and substantial rises in FI and FCR in wet-fed geese [ 14 ]. Furthermore, Akinola et al (2015), Emadinia et al (2014) and Farghly et al (2018) described insignificant changes in the WG and FCR of broilers and Muscovy ducks as a result of wet feeding compared to dry feeding [ 6 , 7 , 13 ].…”

“…Afsharmanesh et al (2016), Tabeidian et al (2015) and Atapattu and Sudusinghe (2013) showed significant improvements in the FI, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and daily weight gain (WG) of broilers when fed on wet feed [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. However, others did not report noticeable changes in the WG and FCR of broilers, Muscovy ducks and geese as a result of wet feeding compared to dry feeding [ 6 , 7 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Thus, the further processing of wet feeds or supplement inclusion is needed to ensure that beneficial effects on growth performance are attained.…”

The present study evaluated the effect of three feeding methods (dry feed, wet feed or wet feed fermented with Bacillus licheniformis) on the growth performance, intestinal histomorphometry and gene expression of the lipid metabolism- and growth-related genes of broiler chickens. A total of 360 one-day-old Cobb-500 broiler chicks were randomly allotted into three groups containing four replicates with 30 birds each. The first group (control) was fed a dry mash basal diet. The second and third groups were fed wet feed and fermented wet feed. The final body weight and weight gain were reduced (p < 0.01) in the wet feed group, while they did not differ between the fermented wet feed and dry feed groups. Feed intake was not altered, and feeding on wet feed significantly (p < 0.01) increased the feed-to-gain ratio compared to the remaining groups. No differences between the three feeding methods in carcass characteristics, blood biochemistry and nutrient digestibility were observed except for crude protein digestibility, which was increased (p < 0.01) in the fermented wet feed group. Duodenal and ileal villi heights were elevated in birds fed fermented wet feeds, while crypt depth was not altered. The expression fold of IGF-1, GH and m-TOR genes in the pectoral muscle of birds fed wet feed was decreased (p < 0.05), while myostatin gene expression was elevated. Feeding on wet feed reduced the hepatic gene expression of PPARγ and increased that of FAS. In conclusion, wet feed negatively affected the broiler chickens’ efficiency under heat stress; however, fermenting the wet feed with Bacillus licheniformis improved feed utilization and birds’ performance compared to the dry feed group.

“…Fats especially from plant-based sources have shown positive alterations in the gut microbiota in both in vivo and in vitro studies [26]. Coconut oil is a highly saturated oil (about 90 %), and 60 % of its total fatty acid composition are medium chain length of 6 to 12 carbon atoms [10], which are absorbed directly into the portal circulation without re-esterification in intestinal cells [22].…”

This study was carried out to examine the comparative effects of coconut oil (CO), avocado oil (AO), and melon seed oil (MSO) on the growth performance, blood, biochemical, hematological parameters, and total microbial loads of Noiler birds. A total of 120 Noiler birds with an average weight of 50.3 ± 0.13 g were randomized into four treatment groups with 3 replications (10 per pen) for six weeks of fattening. Weekly body weight gain and daily feed intake of the birds were recorded for six weeks, after which average weight gain and feed conversion ratios were calculated. At the end of the feeding trials, blood samples were collected for biochemical and hematological parameter assessments, and the digesta from the colon and ileum were collected for their intestinal total microbial load analysis. The average weight gains and feed conversion ratios (FCR) of the birds supplemented with CO (1229.40 ± 15.00) and MSO (1232.66 ± 43.18) were observed to be significantly higher (P < 0.05), compared to the birds supplemented with AO (1110.73 ± 18.29) and the birds fed feed only (1034.79 ± 2.04) having the least weight gained. The biochemical parameters of the birds across the treatment were not significantly different (P > 0.05). White blood cells, packed cell volume, red blood cells and lymphocytes were significantly higher in the CO group compared to the birds supplemented with the avocado oil and melon seed oil. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the weight of the spleen, bursa and gall bladder among the birds. The Lactobacillus spp. in the colon of birds supplemented with coconut oil (6.43 ± 0.56) and melon oil (6.25 ± 0.65) were significantly higher. It can be concluded that coconut oil and melon seed oil have the potential to serve as growth promoters for chicken production.

“…Our previous study indicated that dry pellet is more suitable for geese from 28 to 70 D of age ( Liu et al., 2019b ). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding frequency on growth performance, carcass traits, and apparent nutrient digestibility in geese from 28 to 70 D of age.…”

This study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding frequency on growth performance, carcass traits, and apparent nutrient digestibility in geese from 28 to 70 D of age. In experiment 1, a total of 240 geese were distributed in a completely randomized design into 4 treatments and 6 replicates of 10 birds each. The treatments were free access to the feeder (ad libitum) and access to the feeder 3, 4, and 5 times daily. Geese fed 3 times daily had a lower ( P < 0.05) BW, ADG, and ADFI and a higher ( P = 0.064) feed conversion ratio ( FCR ) from 28 to 41 D of age compared with the other groups. Geese fed 4 times daily had a higher ( P < 0.05) ADG and ADFI and a lower ( P < 0.05) FCR from 42 to 55 D of age compared with ad libitum fed geese. Geese fed 3 times daily had a higher ( P < 0.05) ADG from 56 to 69 D of age than geese fed ad libitum and 4 times daily. No differences ( P > 0.05) in BW, ADFI, ADG, and FCR were observed between ad libitum and feeding frequency groups from 28 to 69 D of age. Carcass traits and gastrointestinal development were not affected ( P > 0.05) by feeding frequency. In experiment 2, the apparent nutrient digestibility in geese from 71 to 77 D of age fed using different feeding frequencies was determined using the total fecal collection method. Feeding frequency did not affect ( P > 0.05) the apparent digestibility of DM, CP, crude ash, calcium, phosphorous, or ether extract in geese. Our study demonstrates for the first time that compensatory growth can be gained by enhancing feed intake when a lower feeding frequency is imposed on geese. Both ad libitum feeding and fixed feeding frequency for 3 to 5 times daily are suitable for geese from 28 to 70 D of age to achieve optimum production.
