          Abstract

          O experimento foi realizado para determinar a exigência de metionina + cistina (met + cis) para frangos de corte dos 22 aos 42 dias de idade mantidos em ambiente termoneutro (23,5ºC). Foram utilizados 240 frangos de corte machos Avian Farms, com peso médio inicial de 827 g, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com cinco níveis de met + cist (0,659; 0,704; 0,750; 0,796 e 0,841%), seis repetições e oito aves por unidade experimental. O aumento do nível de met + cis influenciou positivamente a conversão alimentar (CA), o consumo de met + cis, o peso absoluto da coxa e o peso relativo da sobrecoxa. Não foi verificado efeito dos níveis de met + cis sobre o peso final, o ganho de peso, o consumo de ração, os pesos absoluto e relativo do peito, da carcaça e da gordura abdominal, o peso absoluto da sobrecoxa e o peso relativo da coxa, assim como para os pesos absolutos e relativos dos órgãos (coração, fígado, moela, proventrículo, pulmão e intestinos). O nível de 0,727% de met + cis total (0,661% met + cis digestível), correspondente à relação met + cis/lis total de 70% (72% para lis digestível), proporcionou melhor conversão alimentar em frangos de corte mantidos em ambiente termoneutro.

          The experiment was carried out to determine the requirement of methionine + cystine (met + cys) for broilers from 22-to-42-day-old kept under thermoneutral environment (23.5°C). A total of 240 Avian Farm male broilers, with 827 g average initial weight were distributed in a randomized experimental design with five levels of met + cys (0.659, 0.704, 0.750, 0.796, and 0.841%), six replications and eight birds per experimental unit. The increase of met + cys level influenced positively feed: gain ratio, met + cys intake, drumstick absolute weigh and thigh relative weight. No effect of met + cys levels was observed on the final weight, weight gain, feed intake, breast, carcass and abdominal fat absolute and relative weight, thigh absolute weight, and drumstick relative weight, or for relative and absolute weight of the organs (heart, liver, gizzard, proventriculus, lung and intestines). The level 0.727% met + total cys (0.661% digestible met + cys), corresponding to the ratio met + cys/total lys of 70% (72% for digestible lys) gave the best feed: gain ratio for male broilers kept in thermoneutral environment.

            Breast muscle development in commercial broiler chickens.

            Genetic and gender-related variations in breast muscle yield of broiler chickens may be attributed to differences in number and size of muscle cells (myofibers). In this study, male and female broilers from eight commercial strain crosses (SC) were compared for body and breast muscle weight with adjustment of the Gompertz function. Additionally, breast fillet dimensions (length, width, and depth) and myofiber density (myofiber number/area; MFD) were assessed. Live weight and breast muscle development was determined to 56 d of age at weekly intervals. MFD was assessed at 8 d of age. As expected, SC differed in BW, breast weight and yield, and breast fillet dimensions and had variations in growth curves. Maximal growth rate for breast weight was reached approximately 4 d after that of BW. Males and females showed different growth curves, with males having slower growth rate maturity parameter and reaching the maximal growth rate later than females for BW and breast weight. Breast depth was the breast measure with highest positive correlation to breast yield. SC differences could not be explained by MFD, but males had higher MFD density than females. The possible relationship of the MFD observations to total myofiber number is discussed.

              Replacement value of betaine for DL-methionine in male broiler chicks.

              The effect of DL-methionine and betaine supplementation on growth performance of 2,400 male broilers in the age period of 1 to 38 d, and on carcass composition of a subsample of 384 birds was examined. Three dose levels of DL-methionine (0, 0.05, and 0.10%) and two doses of betaine (0 and 0.04%) were supplemented in different combinations to methioninedeficient diets. Two types of diets were fed as starters and growers: either corn-soybean diets or practical diets typical for the Dutch broiler industry. All diets were fortified with 220 ppm choline in order to avoid a deficiency in methyl groups. Increasing DL-methionine supplementation significantly improved daily weight gain and feed conversion efficiency. Supplemental betaine did not affect bird growth. Betaine slightly improved feed conversion in diets without supplemental DL-methionine, but did not affect this parameter in diets with added DL-methionine. Breast meat yield was significantly increased by about 1.5 percentage points by the addition of 0.05% DL-methionine, whereas 0.04% betaine only tended to increase breast meat yield in the range of 0.3 to 0.6 percentage points. The type of diet did not have any effect on the responses obtained. In summary, there was no evidence for betaine to spare DL-methionine as an essential amino acid supplement in broiler diets.
