RESUMO

Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa avaliar o desempenho e a qualidade óssea de poedeiras na fase de pós pico de postura, alimentadas com dietas contendo níveis de fósforo e fitase. Foi realizado um experimento com 384 poedeiras da linhagem Hy-line branca distribuídas em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 4 x 3, com 4 níveis de fósforo disponível e 3 níveis de fitase. O período experimental foi dividido em quatro ciclos de 28 dias, ao final de cada ciclo experimental foram determinados o consumo de ração, produção de ovos, peso de ovos, conversão alimentar, mortalidade, peso médio do ovo, espessura de casca, unidades Haugh e gravidade específica dos ovos. Ao final do período experimental foram determinadas as quantidades de cálcio e fósforo excretadas pelo método de coleta total de excretas e uma ave por unidade experimental foi sacrificada por deslocamento da articulação crânio-cervical para retirada dos ossos e avaliação da largura, comprimento e índice de robustez do fêmur e tíbia. Houve interação entre os níveis de fósforo e fitase para consumo de ração, conversão alimentar e percentual de postura. Para os níveis de inclusão de fitase todas as variáveis de qualidade de ovo não apresentaram diferenças significativas. Os tratamentos não afetaram as características ósseas das poedeiras.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance and bone quality of laying hens after peak production fed diets containing phosphorus levels and phytase. An experiment was conducted with 384 Hy-line distributed in a completely randomized in a factorial 4 x 3 with 4 levels of available phosphorus and 3 levels of phytase. The experimental period was divided into four periods of 28 days, at the end of each cycle were determined experimental feed intake, egg production, egg weight, feed conversion, mortality, and average egg weight, shell thickness, Haugh units and specific gravity. At the end of the experimental period were determined amounts of calcium and phosphorus excreted by the method of total excreta collection and a fowl per experimental unit was sacrificed for collection of bones and evaluation of width, length and level of robustness from femur and tibia. There was interaction between phosphorus levels and phytase on feed intake, feed conversion and percentage of posture. For inclusion levels of phytase all egg quality variables showed no significant differences. The treatments did not affect bone characteristics of laying hens.

RESUMO

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance, bone densitometry and carcass yield of broilers chicks, using different levels of phytase enzyme. Nine hundred and sixty male one-day-old broiler chicks were used. The birds were distributed in a completely randomized experimental design, involving five treatments and six replications of 32 chicks each. The treatments consisted of a control diet for each phase, and four other diets were formulated adding growing levels of the phytase enzyme (250, 500, 750 and 1,000 FTU of phytase kg-1 feed). When adding the phytase enzyme, the nutritional matrix was valued to guarantee the same nutritional levels as the control diet. In general, the addition of phytase enzyme determined a linear decrease on the performance of the birds. However, the performance obtained with the level of 250 FTU phytase kg-1 feed were no different from the control treatment. The best bone density results were observed in the control treatment with no phytase, and the highest leg and thigh yield were obtained at the level of 514 FTU phytase kg-1.

Um experimento foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a inclusão de diferentes níveis da enzima fitase, sobre o desempenho, a densitometria óssea e o rendimento de carcaça e partes de frangos de corte nas diferentes fases de criação. Foram utilizados 960 pintainhos de corte com um dia de idade, da marca comercial Ross, distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro tratamentos mais uma testemunha (quatro níveis da enzima fitase - 250, 500, 750 e 1.000 FTU de fitase kg-1 de ração + testemunha) e seis repetições de 32 aves cada. Ao adicionar a enzima fitase, a matriz nutricional da mesma foi valorizada para garantir os mesmos níveis nutricionais da dieta testemunha. Foram avaliados os índices de desempenho, de densitometria óssea e o rendimento de carcaça e de partes nas diferentes fases de criação. De maneira geral o aumento na inclusão da enzima fitase determinou declínio linear sobre o desempenho das aves. Entretanto, até o nível de 250 FTU de fitase kg-1 de ração não foram observadas diferenças expressivas em relação ao tratamento isento de fitase. Os melhores resultados de densitometria óssea foram observados no tratamento controle sem a adição da enzima fitase e o maior rendimento de coxa+sobrecoxa foi obtido com o nível de 514 FTU de fitase kg-1 de ração.
