Fermented FeedFor Laying Hens:

Effects on egg production, egg quality,plumage condition and composition and

activity of the intestinal microflora.

By Engberg RM, Hammershøj M, Johansen NF,

Abousekken MS, Steenfeldt S, Jensen BB.

Abstract:“An experiment with a total of 480

hens (Babcock) was carried out from16 to 38 weeks of age to evaluate thesuitability of wet fermented feed (feedwater ratio, 1:1.2-1:1.4) for layers, tak-ing aspects of nutrition and gas-trointestinal health into consideration.

“The production performance, eggshell quality, plumage condition, litterdry matter (DM) content, as well asthe composition and activity of theintestinal microbial flora were analysed.

“Fermented feedwas characterisedby a high concen-tration of lactic acid(160-250 mmol/kgfeed) and a moder-ate level of aceticacid (20-30 mmol/kgfeed), high numbersof lactic acid bacte-ria (log 9-10 CFU/gfeed) and a pH ofapproximately 4.5.Feed fermentation reducedthe concentration of dietarysugar from 32.1 to 7.3 g/kgDM and the phytate boundphosphorus from 2.7 to 1.9g/kg DM.

“Fermented feed seemedto loose attractiveness forthe birds quite rapidly, re-sulting in a more aggressivebehaviour and a poorerplumage condition than in birds given dry feed.

“The use of fermented feed reduced the lit-ter DM content. During the experimental pe-riod, the body weight gain of hens receiving

fermented feed was 80 g higher than of hensfed the dry mash. Presumably because of anextended adaptation time to the feed, the on-set of lay occurred later when hens were fedon fermented feed, resulting in non-signifi-cantly reduced total egg production (75 vs.82%). There was no significant differencebetween groups with respect to the total eggmass production (g/d/hen, 42 and 45 for fer-mented feed and dry mash, respectively).

“Throughout the experimental period, thefeed DM intake of hens fed with fermentedfeed was lower than that of hens receiving the

dry mash (110 vs.125 g).

“From week 26 to37, fermented feedimproved the feedconversion as com-pared with the drymash (g feed DM/gegg mass, 2.28 vs.2.53).

“The use of fer-mented feed in-creased egg weight

in the period from 34 to 37 weeks (61.4 vs.60.0) and increased shell weight (g/100 gegg weight, 10.2 vs. 9.9) and shell stiff-ness (N/mm, 161 vs. 150) of eggs collectedat 37 weeks. The feeding of fermented feedincreased intestinal health by acidificationof the upper digestive tract, forming a natu-ral barrier towards infection with acid sen-sitive pathogens, e.g. E. coli, Salmonellaand Campylobacter.

“It was concluded that fermented wetfeed offers potential ben-efits for health and nutri-tion, but may become suit-able for layers only after thepractical problems relatedto this feeding form havebeen overcome. However,an early adaptation of thebirds during the rearing pe-riod seems to be necessary.

Bird Flu Found InArkansas Poultry FarmFri Jun 21, 2013 . . .

“(Reuters) - A low-pathogenic strain of

avian influenza was found on an Arkansas

poultry farm, but was quickly contained and

did not appear to be a threat to other poultry

farms in the nation's second largest chicken

state, a state poultry official said.

"We're pretty certain this was isolated to

just this one farm. USDA is there with us on

hand as we work the next few weeks to make

sure it's contained," said Arkansas Livestock

and Poultry Commission director Preston

Scroggin.

“Testing found about eight birds in the Ar-

kansas flock of 9,000 were positive for the

H7N7 low-pathogen avian flu, Scroggin said.

The flock was humanly euthanized and buried

and the eggs they produced were destroyed.

“The farm and all farms within a 6.2-mile

radius of it were quarantined. No additional

cases were found on nearby farms.

“The Arkansas farm supplied birds to

Tyson Foods Inc, Scroggin said. Poultry farms

30 to 40 miles away from the site sent in birds

for testing and they have come back negative,

he said.

“Scroggin said the farm is in Scott County

in western Arkansas and raises hens that pro-

duce eggs for chickens. Tyson Foods, which

supplied the birds and feed to the farmer who

owns the facil ity, learned of the problem

through routine testing last week.

“Tyson has since heightened its bio-secu-

rity measures and surveillance of avian influ-

enza, said Mickelson. It also plans to test all

area breeder farms that serve the company, as

well as any contract broiler farms within a six

mile radius of the affected farm, he said.

“The feeding of fermentedfeed increased intestinalhealth by acidification of theupper digestive tract, form-ing a natural barrier towardsinfection with acid sensitivepathogens” . . . E. coli, Sal-monella, Campylobacter.”

“The use of fermented feedincreased egg weight in the pe-riod from 34 to 37 weeks andincreased shell weight and shellstiffness of eggs collected at 37weeks. . .”

“Fermented feedseemed to loose attrac-tiveness for the birds quiterapidly, resulting in a moreaggressive behaviour anda poorer plumage condi-tion than in birds given dryfeed. . .”

Ever notice how you get your youngerbirds to a show and only THEN notice someof the subtle (or big) differences betweenthem? Some are surprising and others not somuch. It’s one of the reasons you show yourbirds. Gives you a chance to table-top themalongside each other as well as someone else’sbirds. Little things suddenly leap out at you.Color (consistencies/inconsistencies/varia-tions/differences), depth of keel, length ofback, tail set, wing set, width at the chest, width

of back and whether it carries through, etc etc.Try not to wait until a show, especially if

you are about to pick your keepers. I investedin a few cages a couple years ago for tabletopping my own birds. Some of the best moneyI’ve ever spent. Now, I find myself pulling thecages out when working with others on theirown birds. You put the birds next to eachother and BOOM…….so easy to see what areotherwise subtle or invisible differences whenyou try to look at them next to each other onthe ground in a pen. Even if you only buy onetwo-hole or 4-hole cage…………penny forpenny, it wil l be some of the best moneyyou’ve ever spent………like putting on a pairof glasses!

If you can’t afford to buy one, build some-thing, have it built, or hit some yard sales andpick up some dog pens. Do this with yourmentor or a fellow breeder so that you have anobjective pair of eyes working with you.

If you’re planning on breeding, rememberthe advice Bob Anderson gave a couple yearsago in one of his President’sMessages…...don’t lose sight of your twomain breeding goals for the season. And don’tforget the other critical tool to have availablewhen you’re sorting through yourbirds……..your APA or ABA Standard.

Pigmentation of the Red Junglefowl

To begin to understand the color forms ofour domestic fowl, we should first look at theirmajor progenitor, the red jungle fowl (Gallusgallus), and seek to understand the layers ofpigments that create the true wildtype, redduckwing, color form. Once we understandhow the three forms of melanin come togetherto create that color form, then we can move onand begin to see how the mutations in thedomestic fowl redistribute or affect those pig-ments to create the many color varieties weknow.

The jumping-off point is to understand thatthere are three distinct forms of melanin presentin the wild type red duckwing pattern of thered jungle fowl. The classical term for the redjungle fowl pattern would be agouti, (look atthe chick down, which is chipmunk patterned)but that term is not used in the hobby andrarely in the scientific literature. Instead theterms ‘wildtype’ or ‘duckwing’ are used to re-fer to this expression, which is the MC1R geneknown as the e-locus allele e+. The e-locusalleles determine where the three melanins goon the feather areas and how they layer uponeach other in any given area. The three formsof melanin are eumelanin (black pigment), sex-linked pheomelanin (the well-known z-chro-mosome, s-locus genes s+ - sex-linked goldand S – sex-l inked silver) and autosomalpheomelanin, which is a different form ofpheomelanin from the sex-linked type not di-

rectly affected by the s-allele mutations. Autosomal pheomelanin is the least stud-

ied, recognized and understood of the threeforms of melanin, yet this form is present withand distributed by all the e-alleles. It is mostprominent and visible on the e-alleles e+ andeWh in the females, but it is present with allthe e-alleles and with both sexes. There are noe-allele mutations that suppress autosomalpheomelanin, though E and ER mask this formof pheomelanin under eumelanin (layering).(While I will discuss autosomal pheomelaninas it relates to the redjungle fowl in this ar-ticle, it will not be thefocus of this article, andwill be dealt with inmuch greater detail in aforthcoming article.) Iwill begin here with Au-tosomal pheomelanin(Aph). {Please note thechange to the abbrevia-tion from my originalpublished abbreviationof Ap. The designationAp is already used to denote an obscure feath-erless mutation that is not part of any hobbybreeds and thus was a mutation that had neverdrawn my interest or attention. My thanks tomy friend David Hancox for bringing this tomy attention!}

Aph is the key to understanding the redjungle fowl’s coloring, as Aph underlies thecoloring of the entire bird (see image 1). Thereis much misunderstanding about this factor

and many people want to call it ‘autosomalred’, thinking the vague references by pastresearchers to the red shoulder of some sex-linked silver males was a complete descrip-tion of this factor. It is not, as the red shoulderof males is but one aspect of Aph expressionand comes about as an interaction betweenAph and mahogany (Mh) and is not the ex-pression of Aph alone. Aph is in fact not red.It is a warm colored salmon/cinnamon tonedpigment. The most obvious expression of thispigment, without interaction with other genes,

is the breast of unmodifiedduckwing hens . Thatsalmon breast is the color ofautosomal pheomelaninwithout other color inggenes interacting with it.Aph is NOT effected in anyway by the sex-linked silvergene (S) as it is autosomaland not the same pigment.They simply both happen tobe forms of a pigment thatwe loosely ca ll‘pheomelanin’. This is so

important to understand in order to fully grasphow these three pigments work together tomake the finished phenotype.

Next is the sex-linked pheomelanin (see im-age 2) and on the red jungle fowl this is thewildtype form (s+) gold. It is important torealize that unmodified gold (s+) is not red. Itis an orange tone. To make a red tone fromeither type of pheomelanin, other genes mustmodify each type of pheomelanin. In the red

jungle fowl on the e+ e-allele the sex-linkedpheomelanin is distributed in a dimorphicmanner, which means that it manifests differ-ently in the male and the female. On the fe-male, the most obvious area of sex-linkedpheomelanin is the hackle, where s+ layersover Aph on most of the hackle (just as it doesin the male). The area of the head and hacklewith the least expression of s+ is the upperhead, the ring of feathers around the face andthe lower edges of the hackle down the frontof the neck. On the female, the entire back andcushion, much of the shoulder and the wingalso express s+ layered over Aph. On the male,we see the expression of s+ in the saddles, butnot in the shoulder or upper wing (more onthis below). The gene s+ is expressed in themain wing feathers, creating the orange tri-angle we see when the wing is folded.

Finally, we come to the third main pig-ment, eumelanin or black pigment (see image3). Eumelanin expression is very dimorphic andis most prominent on the male where it coversthe breast and the entire lower body and legs,as well as the tail and sickles and parts of thewing. On the female, we see much lesseumelanic expression where it is most promi-nent on the tail and within the wing. However,there is also eumelanic expression in the cen-ter stripe of the hackle and as stippling (smalldots expressed as a mild pattern and perhapsthe precursor to pattern gene) across the en-tire back, cushion, shoulder and much of thewing.

Now, we have seen where the three mainpigments are distributed and layered in bothsexes, but we are not completely finished, asthere are two other factors that modify thesepigments to make the finished product in thewildtype red duckwing. The first is dilution ofthe sex-linked pheomelanin and the second isintensification to red of certain areas of auto-somal pheomelanin (this involves dimorphicexpression). We acknowledge both of thesefactors as modifier genes in domestic fowl andcall one dilute (Di) and the other mahogany(Mh). However, it is not clear if the two factorsin the domestics are exactly the same gene oralleles of these genes, or if the factors in thered junglefowl are actually wildtype precur-sors to the genes we work with in the domes-tics. It has seemed to me for some time that myresults from numerous test-matings over manyyears were suggesting that there was not justone form of dilute and mahogany. I suspectthat the forms of both of these factors seen inthe red jungle fowl are wildtype precursors tothe more extreme versions seen in some do-mestic poultry varieties. However, I do nothave enough conclusive evidence to venture

naming the variations of either of these fac-tors and suggest that much more researchneeds to be done on these two factors.

In spite of this lack of clarity as to howmany mutations or alleles there may be ofthese two factors, I can conclude certainbasic points about them. First, it is impor-tant to understand that dilute has a strongeffect on sex-linked pheomelanin but hasvery little effect on Aph. Mahogany haslittle effect on sex-linked pheomelanin un-less dilute is absent, but has a great effecton Aph. In fact, you can say that Aph is theplatform necessary for the expression of ma-hogany, because if Aph is suppressed, ma-hogany does not express in the phenotype(more on this in an upcoming article). It isthe combination of Aph and mahogany thatresults in the phenotypic effect that pastresearchers have called ‘autosomal red’.

Now, let us look at how these two fac-tors come together on the red jungle fowlto finish the phenotype (see image 4). Di-lute reduces the concentration of sex-linkedgold (s+). The area of greatest dilution isthe low er hackle, w here sex-linkedpheomelanin is most concentrated in thehackles of both males and females. The up-per hackle has a lesser concentration of s+and is not diluted to the same extent as thelower hackle. The back and cushion of thefemale show the effect of dilute, though itis less obvious due to the layering ofeumelanin as stippling. On the male, thedilution in the hackle is nearly identical tothe female and the saddles and wing tri-angle show mild dilution, though not asmuch as in the lower hackles. Mahoganylayers on autosomal pheomelanin to createdeep, rich red areas. This is very prominent onthe male shoulder, and while less so on thefemale shoulder, there will be a mild expres-sion of this effect, obscured somewhat by thestippling and shafting on the female. On themale, there is a slight expression of mahoganyon the rear edge of the folded wing triangleand at the forward edge of the saddles. Onboth sexes there is a strong mahogany expres-sion around the face, on the top of the head,on the outer edge of the hackles and to a lesserextent on the upper hackle. The mahoganyseen on the wildtype red jungle fowl does notseem to have a strong effect on the autosomalpheomelanic female breast, unlike some expres-sions of mahogany seen in domestic strains.

As can be seen, this wildtype color formis not just the expression of the e-allele. The e-allele determines where the three pigments goand how they layer, while two modifier genesthen create visual extremes within the two

forms of pheomelanin. It is a very elegant colorpattern, designed by natural selection to cre-ate a pattern that is broken up and able toblend more efficiently with the natural envi-ronment. Solid colors are not efficient forblending into the background, thus we see acomplicated layering and shading of the threeforms of melanin, with the two forms ofpheomelanin being further modified into vi-sual extremes to create an array of shades de-signed to blend into the background by break-ing up the outline of the bird and so help toensure survival. From this, we can see that theold way of looking at red duckwing as simplye+ s+ is very simplistic and inefficient. Forthose who are comfortable using the gene ab-breviations, wildtype red duckwing would bewritten as e+/e+ s+/s+ (male) or s+/~ (female)Aph/Aph Di/Di Mh/Mh. END
