The use of insects on the animal industry is a promising alternative because it combines nutritive value, nutraceutical proprieties (antimicrobial peptides), efficient breeding systems and more sustainable since it requires less water, space and uses by-products as substrate. Moreover, the insect's antimicrobial peptides are effective against many pathogens and, also they act on the modul…
The aim of this study is to evaluate performance, intestinal health (intestinal mucosa, enzymatic activity and microbiota) and apparent metabolizable energy (EMA) in broilers fed diets with different combinations of sorghum and corn, as well as the whole grain of sorghum. To evaluate different strategies of using diets based on sorghum (ground or whole) and/or corn, Exp.1 will consist of …
The aim of the study is to will evaluate the efficiency of addition of a probiotic in broiler diets in the maintenance of the structure of the intestinal microbiota following antibiotic therapy. The chickens will be raised in floor pens during from 1 to 42 days of age. The birds will be allocated in a completely randomized experimental design with four treatment and nine replicates. The t…

Increasingly the use of insects in animal feed is gaining space; the countless researches carried out using insect flour point out real benefits on its use, among them improvement in animal performance, improvement in immune responses, nutraceutical properties, all associated with efficient and more sustainable breeding systems (less water need, use of sub -products as substrate and less …
The use of insects in the animal industry is a promising alternative because it combines nutritive value, nutraceutical proprieties, efficient production systems, less environmental footprints, and more sustainability since it requires less water, space and uses by-products as substrate. Chickens have the natural behavior of feeding themselves from a variety of insects during their entire…
The study of the relationship between the additives and nutrients is essential for improving the use of these substances and the maximum animal performance. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of levels of threonine and the inclusion of blends of essential oils on the performance and intestinal health (morphology, intestinal microbiota and mucin production) in broilers cha…

L-Methionine is an essential amino acid required for protein synthesis and normal growth of animals. It is also the first limiting amino acid in a typical com-soy poultry diet. Utilization of protein or amino acids is affected when deficient or excess levels of a limiting amino acid are supplied. Amino acids interact, and amino acid transporters maintain coordination and integrity of meta…
Commensal bacteria living in the intestine are related to the immune response of the bird. This research will evaluate how changes in intestinal microbiota in layer type chickens after prebiotic supplementation and inoculum challenge with Salmonella generate resistance to colonization by Salmonella. The experiment will be 6 to 14 weeks, with pullets in growing phase, housed in experimenta…
The objective of this study is to evaluate the capacity hops beta-acids to modulate the expression of genes related with intestinal inflammatory response, under normal conditions and bacterial challenge, establishing the relationship between intestinal microbiota-host-additive. The research will be conducted with an ex vivo model, that permit a study more detailed, i.e., without interfere…
