The utilisation of various fats by turkeys of different ages

Abstract: 1. The utilisation of fat and fatty acids supplied as maize oil, tallow or lard in the diet of 2-, 4- and 8-week old turkeys has been investigated: a mixture of 10% fat and 15% cellulose replaced glucose monohydrate in a low-fat basal diet. 2. At 2 weeks of age the absorbabilities of the fats were 96, 57 and 91% for maize oil, tallow and lard respectively; at 4 and 8 weekds of age the corresponding figures were 97, 70 and 92% and 98, 74 and 90%. 3. The unsaturated fatty acids (18:1, 18:2) were highly absorbed … Show more

“…The fatty acid absorption pattern was similar to a previous report in 2-, 4-and 8-week-old turkeys which indicated overall absorption of over 90% for maize oil and lard (Whitehead and Fisher, 1975). In contrast, it has been reported (Turner et al, 1999) that apparent overall lipid digestibility in diets containing 5 or 12% fat was 69 to 74% at 3 to 5 d and 72 to 76% at 9 to 11 d in poults.…”

“…Nas primeiras semanas de idade da ave, a digestibilidade dos lipídeos é menor e aumenta com a idade (Whitehead & Fisher, 1975;Katangole & March 1980;Sell et al, 1986). Entre os fatores que afetam a digestão de lipídeos, estão os processos de adaptação e maturação das células absortivas do intestino (Moran Jr, 1985), a maturação dos órgãos para a produção e liberação de enzimas digestivas e também aqueles pertinentes aos diferentes tipos de alimento, sua natureza, composição química e a complexação entre os mesmos.…”

“…Thereafter, it is generally accepted that fat utilization increases with age. Several researchers have supported this concept from a fat digestibility perspective [14,17,23]. The improvement in fat utilization with age is largely a function of increased bile production and intestinal lipase activity as the poult matures.…”
