Abstract: In order to study the efficacy of Yiningyi in improving the production performance, nutrient and energy utilization efficiency, and meat production performance of commercial broiler chickens. 2240 1-day-old healthy AA broiler chickens were selected for the experiment and randomly divided into 2 treatments, with 5 replicates per treatment and 224 chickens per replicate. Treatment 1: Control group, fed with basic diet; Treatment 2: In the experimental group, a 50g/ton level of Yiningyi was added to the basic diet of the control group in treatment 1. Try raising chickens in cages, freely consume food and water, and feed them with pellet feed. It is divided into two stages: 0-21 days and 22-42 days. The results indicate that:
The results of production and meat performance showed that compared with the control group, adding Yiningyi to the diet significantly increased the body weight (21 days, 42 days) and daily weight gain (1-21 days, 22-42 days, 1-42 days) of broiler chickens (P<0.05), reduced the feed to weight ratio (1-21 days, 22-42 days, 1-42 days) (P<0.05), and="" had="" no="" significant="" effect="" on="" daily="" feed="" intake="" 1-21="" 22-42="" 1-42="" p="">0.05). Compared with the control group, the addition of Yiningyi to the diet had no significant effect on the meat production performance indicators of broiler chickens at 21 and 42 days (P>0.05).
The results of liver nutrient content showed that compared with the control group, the addition of Yiningyi to the diet significantly reduced the crude protein content of fresh basal liver after 21 days (P<0.05), 21="" 42="" had="" no="" significant="" effect="" on="" the="" dry="" matter="" based="" liver="" organic="" crude="" and="" fat="" content="" p="">0.05), and had no significant effect on the dry matter, organic matter, carbohydrates, and crude fat content of fresh basal liver (21 days, 42 days) (P>0.05).
Comparative analysis of nutrient and energy utilization efficiency: Compared with the control group, adding Yiningyi to the diet significantly improved the apparent and true utilization efficiency of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fat, and total energy (P<0.05), but="" did="" not="" significantly="" affect="" the="" apparent="" and="" true="" utilization="" efficiency="" of="" carbohydrates="" p="">0.05) or the apparent and true metabolic energy values (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the addition of Yiningyi to the diet significantly increased the apparent utilization rates of tryptophan, arginine, serine, glycine, alanine, tyrosine, and total non essential amino acids (P<0.05), significantly increased the true utilization rates of lysine, methionine, tryptophan, histidine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, cysteine, tyrosine, and total essential amino acids (P<0.05), and="" had="" no="" significant="" effect="" on="" the="" apparent="" true="" utilization="" rates="" of="" leucine="" proline="" p="">0.05).
Keywords: Yiningyi, commercial broiler, production performance, meat production performance, nutrients, energy
1 Materials and Methods
1.1 Test Materials
Yiningyi: Composed of brewing yeast extract and brewing yeast culture (crude protein ≥ 30.0%, crude fat ≥ 4.0%, crude fiber ≤ 1.0%, crude ash ≤ 20.0%, moisture ≤ 12.0%, mannan ≥ 6.0%), provided by Cherry Dewey Co., Ltd. in the United States.
1.2 Experimental animals and design
2240 healthy AA broiler chickens aged 1 day were selected and randomly divided into 2 treatments, with 5 replicates per treatment and 224 chickens per replicate. Treatment 1: Control group, fed with basic diet; Treatment 2: In the experimental group, 500 mg/kg of Yiningyi was added to the basic diet of the control group in treatment 1. Try raising chickens in cages, freely consume food and water, and feed them with pellet feed. It is divided into two stages: 0-21 days and 22-42 days. The composition and nutritional level of the basic diet are shown in Table 1.
1.3 Measurement indicators
Production performance: During the experiment, the feed intake was recorded daily on a repeated basis, with 21 days (measured by random weight, 20% chickens) and 42 days (all weighed). Calculate the average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, and feed to gain ratio. Record mortality and diarrhea rates.
Meat production performance: At 21 and 42 days, 10 animals (2 per replicate) were selected for slaughter in each treatment, and semi clean bore rate, full clean bore rate, abdominal fat rate, leg muscle rate, and chest muscle rate were measured.
Physiological indicators: At 21 and 42 days, abdominal fat percentage and liver fat content were measured using a test chicken that measured meat production performance.
Nutrient and energy utilization efficiency: 28-35 days, determine the nutrient utilization efficiency of the diet using the full manure collection method. At the same time, an additional 20 animals were randomly divided into 5 replicates, with 4 animals in each replicate. Fasting was carried out for 24 hours, and the endogenous nutrient excretion in the digestive tract was measured to calculate the true utilization rate of nutrients.
Liver nutrient composition: 21 days and 42 days, measured using a test chicken for meat production performance to determine liver nutrient composition
Economic benefits: Comparison of feed benefits (European index).
1.4 Data statistics and analysis
The data was analyzed using SAS 9.2 software, and Duncan's multiple range test was used to compare the mean values, with a significance level of P<0.05.
