High ambient temperatures are a critical challenge in the poultry industry which is a key
producer of the animal-based food. To evaluate heat stress levels, various parameters have …

In vertebrates and invertebrates, morphological and functional features of gastrointestinal
(GI) tracts generally reflect food chemistry, such as content of carbohydrates, proteins, fats …

Over the last 50 yr, the study of intestinal peptide transport has rapidly evolved into a field
with exciting nutritional and biomedical applications. In this review, we describe from a …

The objective of this study was to investigate intestinal nutrient transporter and enzyme
mRNA in broilers selected on corn-and soybean-based (line A) or wheat-based (line B) …

This study determined the effects of dietary branched-chain amino acids (AA)(BCAA) on
growth performance, expression of jejunal AA and peptide transporters, and the colonic …

Inclusions of non-bound amino acids particularly methionine, lysine and threonine, together
with the “ideal protein” concept have allowed nutritionists to formulate broiler diets with …

Simple Summary Dietary inclusions of phytate-degrading enzymes have made immense
contributions to sustainable chicken-meat production since the turn of this century. Firstly …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary protein quality on intestinal
peptide transporter (PepT1), amino acid transporter [Na+-independent cationic and …

The biggest obstacles in the application of marine peptides are two-fold, as in the case of
non-marine plant and animal-derived bioactive peptides: elucidating correlation between …

Little is known about the effect of low-protein (LP) diets on intestinal barrier function and
permeability. In the first part of this study, starting on day 9 of age, the growth performance of …
