Metabolism of water, carbohydrates, protein and fats in poultry
The metabolism of water, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in poultry involves complex biochemical processes that contribute to the growth, maintenance, and overall health of the birds. Here’s an overview of how these macronutrients are metabolized in poultry: 1. Water Metabolism:
Identification of fodder and forages
Fodder refers to any agricultural food material, primarily composed of plants, that is used to feed livestock. Fodder can include various types of vegetation, such as grasses, legumes, cereals, and other plant materials, which are cultivated specifically for feeding animals.
Dry Matter Determination
1. Principle Dry matter is determined gravimetrically as the residue remaining after drying at 103 ºC in a ventilated oven. 2. Scope This procedure is applicable for determination of dry matter in feed ingredients, feeds and partially-dried (85% dry matter)
DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION OF NUTRIENTS
The digestion, metabolism, and absorption of nutrients in broilers (young chickens raised for meat production) are complex processes essential for growth, development, and overall health. Here’s an overview of how these processes occur in broilers: 1. Digestion: Mouth: The digestion
