  1. 16. Ciona (Ciona intestinalis) as a source of fibre for chickens : Effects on productive performance, organs weights and caecal microbiota

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Qasim Mashood; [2019]
    Keywords : Broiler; dietary fibre; ciona; cellulose; gut microbiota; sodium;

    Abstract : In this experimental study broiler birds were fed in a randomized block design for 32 days on a control diet (C) based on wheat and soy bean meal and two experimental diets containing 2% (C2) and 4% ciona meal (C4) to examine the suitability of Ciona intestinalis in poultry feed as a source of fibre and its effects on growth performance, microbial composition and digestive traits. Luminal content was taken from caeca at day 12 and 32 and analysed for microbiota profile and short chain fatty acids (SCFA). READ MORE
