“…Our effects agreed with the ones stated by (Robertson, 1988) who recorded lower microbial counts in caecal contents of rabbits fed diets with high lignin and insoluble non-starch polysaccharides fraction reduced through growing the digesta transit charge. Giant reductions in total anaerobic and coliforms counts within caecal samples from rabbits consumed eating regimen containing caprylic acid, which is brief-chain fatty acid (Skřivanová et al, 2010).…”

The current study was designed to evaluate the effect feeding weaning rabbits sugar beet tops (SBT) with prebiotic on digestibility of nutrients and caecal microbial activity, volatile fatty acids estimation and organs histology. Fifty four 6-week-old unsexed weaning NZW rabbits were randomly distributed in a factorial (3 × 2) design to six equal groups. Sugar beet tops (SBT) was used at levels 0.0, 20 or 30% of the diet instead of the percent of alfalfa hay in the control diet in presence of 1.0 g/kg diet or absence of prebiotic (Perfect). Digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE) and NFE of 12-week old NZW rabbits were improved by feeding SBT-containing diets. Dietary SBT level had no significant effect on pH value, TVFA,s and NH 3 -N values for caecum content of 12 weeks old NZW rabbits, however, total bacteria, E. coli and lactobacillus counts were significantly affected. Feeding SBT-containing diets did not alter plasma concentrations of AST and ALT of 12-week-old rabbits. Dietary prebiotic had a positive effect on the digestibility coefficients of DM, OM, CP, EE, CF and NFE of growing rabbits. Added prebiotic had a positive effect on caecal fermentative activities and caecal microbial activity of growing rabbits. The pH value, ammonia-N level, total bacteria and lactobacillus counts of rabbits fed prebiotic-supplemented diets were significantly higher but E. coli count was reduced as compared to control ones. This study concluded that sugar beet tops can be safely used in rabbit diets up to 30% instead of alfalfa hay.

“…Symonas and Brennen (19) reported that pasting properties of flours depend on starch characteristics, such as swelling potential, degree of gelatinization and the subsequent re-association of amylose and amylopectin after granules disruption. Robertons (20) reported that viscosity is a measure of the resistance to flow, and is an important attribute to both quality and nutritional properties of foods. High viscosity and β-glucan content in barley is linked with cholesterol lowering (21) and hypoglycemic effects in human subjects (22).…”

Three oat cultivars and one oat breeding line were evaluated for chemical, hydration and pasting properties. Protein, starch and β-glucan levels ranged 11.13∼14.37, 56.37∼64.86 and 3.44∼4.76%, respectively. The oat cultivars Daeyang and Seonyang contained higher β-glucan levels of 4.76 and 4.35%. The Daeyang variety had a higher water absorption index (WAI) of 2.83∼3.35 (g/g), but a lower water solubility index (WSI) of 8.67 ∼11.08%. Daeyang and Seonyang cultivars showed higher peak and trough viscosity, but lower breakdown and setback, indicating that they easily swell, and thus could possibly provide the desirable viscosity of an oat product. The β-glucan levels were correlated positively with WAI, peak and trough viscosity, and negatively to WSI, breakdown and setback viscosity.

“…Higher specific volume was also a function of the higher particle size (Table 2). Others researchers also related water and oil absorption capacity with particle size (Cadden, 1987;Robertson, 1988;Auffret et al, 1994;Robertson et al, 2000;Prakongpan et al, 2002;Rhagavendra et al, 2004;Chau et al, 2007). Grinding is not only a particle size reduction but can be related to deep structural modification of fiber (Auffret et al, 1994).…”
