Figure Lengend Snippet: Ingredient and nutritional composition of experimental diets fed to female growing broiler chickens from 10 to 30 d of age. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4

Article Snippet: We formulated 4 dietary treatments, where SBH were included in coarse ( SBH-C : unground; geometric mean diameter ( GMD ) 1134 μm ± 144 μm) or fine ( SBH-F ; ground with a 1 mm screen, GMD 459 μm ± 85 μm) form; and 50 g/Kg soluble wheat arabinoxylans (Naxus, BioActor BV, Maastricht, The Netherlands) were substituted for maize starch ( SBH-C-AX and SBH-F-AX ) or not (SBH-C and SBH-F).

Techniques: Starch, Calcium Carbonate, Titanium Dioxide

Figure Lengend Snippet: Titanium:cobalt ratio in feed, crop, stomach (proventriculus plus gizzard), SI (small intestine), ceca, and colon from broiler chickens fed diets containing soybean hulls (SBH) with or without arabinoxylans (AX). SBH-C: coarse SBH without AX; SBH-F: fine SBH without AX; SBH-C-X: coarse SBH with AX; SBH-F-AX: fine SBH with AX. Error bars indicate SEM. Asterisks indicates differences among diets within segment (* P < 0.05).
