Abstract

Determinaram-se os melhores valores do balanço eletrolítico (BE) de dietas para frangos quanto aos teores de cálcio, fósforo e proteína total no sangue de frangos de corte aos 42 dias de idade. Foram utilizadas 1728 aves de marca comercial, machos. As aves foram alimentadas com duas dietas basais, 20 ou 23% de proteína bruta (PB), na fase inicial, e uma única ração basal, 20% de PB, na fase de crescimento, combinadas com níveis de balanço eletrolítico de 0; 50; 100; 150; 200; 250; 300 e 350mEq/kg. Foi utilizado delineamento experimental inteiramente ao acaso, em arranjo fatorial, com seis repetições de 18 aves cada e 96 unidades experimentais. Foi escolhida uma ave em cada unidade experimental para a coleta de sangue. Foram avaliados os teores de cálcio, fósforo e proteínas totais no sangue dessas aves aos 42 dias de idade. Os melhores valores de BE estimados para o teor de proteína total no sangue foram de 101 e 131mEq/kg da dieta, para planos nutricionais de 20-20% e 23-20% de PB, respectivamente. Para os teores plasmáticos de cálcio e fósforo, não foram encontradas diferenças entre os níveis de BE estudados.

The best values of electrolytic balance (EB) in diets for blood levels of calcium, phosphorus and total protein for 42 days old broiler chickens was determined. 1728 Ross male chicks were used, which were fed with two basal diets with 20 or 23% of crude protein (CP) in the initial phase and one basal diet with 20% of CP during growing phase. They were combined with the following EB levels: 0; 50; 100; 150; 200; 250; 300 and 350mEq/kg. A completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of treatments was used with six repetitions of 18 birds and 96 experimental units. One bird was chosen from each experimental unit for blood collection. The content of calcium, phosphorus and total protein in the blood of these birds at 42 days of age was evaluated. The best values of EB for the nutritional plans of 20-20% and for 23-20% were 101 and 131mEq/kg of crude protein, respectively. Significant differences were not found among the EB studied for the serum concentrations of calcium and phosphorus levels.

A review of the role of acid-base balance in amino acid nutrition.

J F Patience (1990)

Acid-base balance and amino acid metabolism are intimately related. Changes in acid-base balance influence the metabolic fate of many amino acids. Also, acid-base homeostasis is achieved in part by alteration of amino acid metabolism, not only in the kidney, but also in liver, muscle and splanchnic tissue. Glutamine is the primary amino acid involved in renal ammonia-genesis, a process intimately related to acid excretion. The metabolism of other amino acids, such a serine, glycine and the branched-chain amino acids, also appears to be influenced by acid-base balance. Conversely, the metabolic fate of various amino acids will influence the daily acid load experienced by the animal. Oxidation of amino acids contributes to the total acid and base load imposed on the pig. The basic (cationic) amino acids (lysine, arginine and histidine) yield neutral end-products plus a proton; sulfur (methionine and cysteine) amino acids are also acidogenic because they generate sulfuric acid when oxidized. The dicarboxylic (anionic) amino acids (aspartate and glutamate, but not asparagine and glutamine) consume acid when oxidized and thus reduce the acid load of the diet. Acid-base balance and related phenomena are discussed in the context of practical and metabolic aspects of amino acid nutrition.
