Nutritional assessment of phytase and interactions for broilers

Três experimentos foram realizados com o objetivo de determinar os coeficientes de digestibilidade ileal verdadeiros dos aminoácidos (CDiv) do farelo de soja, milho + farelo de soja e trigo+ farelo de soja utilizados nas formulações de rações para aves; determinar a relação ideal treonina:lisina digestível em dietas para frangos de corte suplementadas com fitase; e o efeito da xilanase e fitase sobre o desempenho, rendimento de carcaça e a histomorfometria intestinal de frangos de corte na fase inicial. No primeiro experimento 504 pintos machos da linhagem Cobb, com peso médio de 493g, foram distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 3 tratamentos (níveis de fitase 0, 500 e 1000 FTU), oito repetições e sete aves por gaiola, durante o período experimental de 14 a 23 dias de idade para determinação dos coeficientes de digestibilidade dos aminoácidos pelo método da coleta ileal do farelo de soja, milho+farelo de soja e do trigo+farelo de soja. Houve aumento do CDiv da metionina e da metionina+cistina do farelo de soja quando incluído 500FTU de enzima (p0,05) no CDiv da metionina, arginina e histidina do trigo+farelo de soja com a inclusão dos níveis crescentes de enzima. Entretanto, houve diferença (p0,05), mas observou-se efeito da fitase sobre o consumo de ração, ganho de peso e peso final das aves (P 0.05). In the second experiment, 2,500 male broilers (Cobb 500), with an initial weight of 210±5g of 8 and 18 days of age in a completely randomized design with 10 treatments and 10 repetitions with 25 birds each. The treatments were two levels of phytase (0 and 500FTU) x five digestible threonine: digestible Lysine ratio (58, 61, 64, 67 and 70%). There was no effect of phytase supplementation on feed conversion (P>0.05), but there was effect of phytase on feed intake, weight gain and final weight of the birds (P <0.05). The mean carcass yield results and cuts were higher (P <0.01) in birds fed the addition of phytase in the diet. In the third experiment, 420 male broilers with an initial weight of 189 ± 5g of 8 and 21 days of age were distributed in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 20 repetitions of 7 birds each. Treatments were diets enzymes without enzyme, xylanase and xylanase + phytase. The xylanase enzyme was used was two times higher than the recommended half. The feed intake by birds fed diets with xylanase was lower (p<0.05) than for the birds of other treatments. There was better feed conversion (p <0.05) in birds fed xylanase and phytase association. There was no effect of the enzyme on the use of absolute and relative yields of response of birds up to 21 days of age, as there was no effect on villus height of the duodenum and jejunum. In the ileum the measurements, an increase of the villi of birds that received xylanase and phytase (p
