“…Consumption of combined short-and longchain inulin-type fructans increased Ca absorption and enhanced bone mineralization during pubertal growth of human (Abrams et al 2005). However, Swiatkiewicz et al (2011) and Kim et al (2011) reported that FOS or inulin do not improve the bone growth and skeletal integrity of broiler chicks. In the present study, we found the positive effects of FPCM on calcium retention in bone.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of fermentation products of Cordyceps militaris (FPCM) on growth performance and tibia mineralization of broiler chicks. A total of 240 one-day-old female Ross 308 broilers were allotted into four treatments with six cages of 10 chicks each. Four diets were the control diet supplemented with 0, 1, 2 and 4 g/kg of FPCM, respectively. Compared with the control, supplementation of 1 g/kg FPCM improved body weight gain of broilers from 22 to 42 days of age and from 1 to 42 days of age (P < 0.05); 4 g/kg of FPCM enhanced the feed intake of 22-to 42-day-old and 1-to 42-day-old chicks (P < 0.05). Addition of 2 g/kg FPCM increased tibia calcium (Ca) content of broilers at 21 and 42 days (P < 0.01). FPCM did not affect serum biochemical parameters (P > 0.05). These data indicate that FPCM had positive effects on growth performance of broiler chicks and the optimal dietary FPCM level was 1 g/kg in chicks from 1 to 42 days of age.

“…Vitamin D deficiency impaired bone mineralization, and resulted in low tibia breaking-strength, weight, length, width, ash weight values and low ash, Ca and P percentages in broilers in groups 1 to 6 in the present study. High levels of vitamin D 3 increased bone growth and mineral deposition in broiler chickens (Whitehead et al, 2004;Kim et al, 2011). As a metabolite of vitamin D, 1α-OH-D 3 has higher bioavailability than vitamin D 3 .…”

This study evaluated the effects of dietary non-phytate phosphorus (NPP) and 1α-hydroxycholecalciferol (1α-OH-D 3 ) on the growth performance, bone mineralization, and carcass traits of 1-to 21-day-old broiler chickens. On the day of hatch, 600 male Ross 308 chicks were weighed and randomly assigned to 12 treatments, with five cages of 10 birds each. A 6 × 2 factorial arrangement was applied, consisting of 0.20%, 0.25%, 0.30%, 0.35%, 0.40%, or 0.45% NPP and 0 or 5 μg/kg of 1α-OH-D 3 . The basal diet contained 0.52% calcium (Ca) and was not supplemented with vitamin D 3 . Dietary NPP levels significantly affected growth performance and tibia mineralization (except width) of broilers; by contrast, meat yield and organ relative weight were not influenced by NPP. The inclusion of 1α-OH-D 3 improved growth performance, tibia mineralization, and carcass and breast yield, whereas it decreased the relative weights of the liver, heart, and kidney. A significant interaction between NPP and 1α-OH-D 3 was observed for body weight gain (BWG), feed efficiency (FE), mortality, serum Ca and P levels, tibia breakingstrength, ash weight, and Ca content, as well as breast yield and heart relative weight. These results suggest that broilers fed with 5 μg of 1α-OH-D 3 per kg of diet obtain optimal growth performance and tibia mineralization when dietary NPP level was 0.30% and the analyzed Ca to NPP ratio was 1.97.

“…However, trabecular bone mineral density was not affected by dietary treatment. Likewise, Kim et al (32) and Jendral et al (33) found that total and cortical bone mineral density discriminated between the treatments with no effect on trabecular bone mineral density in, respectively, broiler chicks at day 21 and hens at 65 weeks of age. As stated by these authors, these results could be due to excessive bone resorption from the endosteal surface located at the inner edge of the cortical shell.…”

Abstract Chickens adapt to P and Ca restriction during the very first days of life by improving P utilisation efficiency. The present study was built to identify the mechanisms underlying this adaptive capacity, and to identify the optimal window of application of the restriction (depletion). A total of 1600 Cobb 500TM male broilers were used. During each phase (from age 0 to 4 d, 5 to 8 d, 9 to 18 d and 19 to 33 d), the animals received either a control diet (H) or a restricted diet (L) with reduced levels of non-phytate P (nPP) and Ca (between −14 and −25 % for both) with four dietary sequences: HHHH, HLHL, LHHL and LLHL. None of the feeding strategies affected growth. Tibia ash content at day 4 and 8 was impaired when the L diet was fed from 0 to 4 and 5 to 8 d, respectively (P = 0⋅038 and P = 0⋅005). Whatever the early restriction period or length between 0 and 8 d of age, the mineralisation delay was compensated by day 18. This was accompanied by an increased mRNA expression of the Ca transporter, CALB1, and an increased apparent ileal digestibility of Ca at day 8 (P < 0⋅001). This adaptation was limited to the starter phase in restricted birds. No effect was seen on P transporters mRNA or protein expression. In conclusion, birds adapted to mineral restriction by increasing Ca and nPP utilisation efficiencies. Depletion−repletion strategies are promising in improving the sustainability of broiler production but need to be validated in phytase-supplemented diets.
