Abstract

1. The objective of this study was to investigate wheat genotypes bred for increased intrinsic phytase activity for InsP6 disappearance and the formation of lower inositol phosphates in such wheat-fed broiler chickens. The influence of monocalcium phosphate (MCP) supplementation on these characteristics and the utilisation of P and Ca were also determined. A three-step in vitro assay and a broiler trial were performed. 2. In the 63 wheat genotypes tested in vitro, phytase activity varied from 1900 FTU/kg to 5200 FTU/kg, and InsP6 disappearance increased with higher phytase activity of wheat in a linear manner. The addition of MCP significantly reduced in vitro InsP6 disappearance by one-third, independent of the inclusion level of wheat in the feed. When exogenous phytase was added to wheat, in vitro InsP6 disappearance increased independently of the phytase activity of the wheat used. 3. In the broiler trial, four wheat genotypes with phytase activities between 2400 and 3700 FTU/kg were included at 400 g/kg in diets with and without MCP. The diets were not pelleted. Separately, wheat 1, without MCP, was tested with the addition of exogenous phytase. Unsexed Ross 308 broiler chickens were allocated to 72 metabolic units of 10 birds each and assigned one of the nine diets. Mineral utilisation was measured based on excreta collection from 20 to 23 d of age. Digesta from the crop and terminal ileum were collected on d 24. 4. In the crop and ileum, InsP6 disappearance was not affected by the wheat genotypes, but the addition of MCP significantly decreased InsP6 disappearance. Precaecal P disappearance was significantly reduced by the addition of MCP, with wheat genotypes also exerting an effect. Wheat genotypes and the addition of exogenous phytase significantly affected P utilisation. Exogenous phytase had no effect on InsP6 disappearance in the crop but did up to the terminal ileum, the precaecal InsP6 and P disappearance increased with the addition of exogenous phytase. 5. Although the intrinsic wheat phytase activity exerted distinct effects on in vitro InsP6 disappearance, no such effect was found in the broiler trial. The addition of MCP significantly inhibited InsP6 degradation in vitro and in vivo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to examine the effects of feeding Fusarium toxin-contaminated wheat (8.21 mg deoxynivalenol (DON) and 0.09 mg zearalenone (ZON) per kg dry matter) at different feed intake levels on the biotransformation and carry-over of DON in dairy cows. For this purpose, 14 ruminal and duodenal fistulated dairy cows were fed a diet containing 60% concentrate with a wheat portion of 55% (Fusarium toxin-contaminated wheat (mycotoxin period) or control wheat (control period)) and the ration was completed with maize- and grass silage (50 : 50) on a dry matter basis. Daily DON intakes ranged from 16.6 to 75.6 mg in the mycotoxin period at dry matter intakes of 5.6-20.5 kg. DON was almost completely biotransformed to de-epoxy DON (94-99%) independent of the DON/feed intake, and the flow of DON and de-epoxy DON at the duodenum related to DON intake ranged from 12 to 77% when the Fusarium toxin-contaminated wheat was fed. In the serum samples, de-epoxy DON was detected in the range of 4-28 ng ml-1 in the mycotoxin period, while concentrations of DON were all below the detection limit. The daily excretion of DON and de-epoxy DON in the milk of cows fed the contaminated wheat varied between 1 and 10 microg and between 14 and 104 microg, respectively. The total carry-over rates as the ratio between the daily excretion of DON and de-epoxy DON into milk and DON intake were in the ranges of 0.0001-0.0002 and 0.0004-0.0024, respectively. Total carry-over rates of DON as DON and de-epoxy DON into the milk increased significantly with increasing milk yield. In the urine samples, de-epoxy DON was the predominant substance as compared with DON with a portion of the total DON plus de-epoxy DON concentration to 96% when the Fusarium toxin-contaminated wheat was fed, whereas the total residues of DON plus de-epoxy DON in faeces ranged between 2 and 18% of DON intake in the mycotoxin period. The degree of glucuronidation of de-epoxy DON was found to be approximately 100% in serum. From 33 to 80% of DON and from 73 to 92% of de-epoxy DON, and from 21 to 92% of DON and from 86 to 100% of de-epoxy DON were glucuronidated in the milk and urine, respectively. It is concluded that DON is very rapidly biotransformed to de-epoxy DON in the rumen and only negligible amounts of DON and de-epoxy DON were transmitted into the milk within the range of 5.6-20.5 kg day-1 dry matter intake and milk yields (fat corrected milk) between 10 and 42 kg day-1.
