Use of ß-glucanases and ß-1,4-xylanases to supplement diets containing alfalfa ...
Mourão, J.L.; Ponte, P.I.P; Prates, J.A.M.; Centeno, M.S.J.; Ferreira, L.M.A.; Chaveiro-Soares, M.A.; Fontes, C.M.G.It is well established that the use of alfalfa in diets for monogastric animals is limited by its high fiber content. However, alfalfa is a natural source of xanthophylls and gives poultry products a desirably yellow color. In addition, alfalfa saponins may contribute to reduce the levels of cholesterol in the meat and egg yolk. We have investigated the potential utilization of β-glucanases and β-1,4-xylanases ...
Pasture intake improves the performance and meat sensory attributes of free-ran...
Ponte, P.I.P; Rosado, C.M.C; Crespo, J.P.; Crespo, D.G; Mourão, José Luís; Chaveiro-Soares, M.A.; Mendes, I.L.T.; Gama, L.T.; Prates, J.A.M.Free-range chickens are assumed to consume low to moderate levels of pasture, although the effects of forage intake in broiler performance and poultry meat quality remain to be established. In addition, despite cellulases and hemicellulases being widely used as feed supplements to improve the nutritive value of cereal-based diets for fast-growing broilers, the potential interest of these biocatalysts in the pro...
Role of a family 11 carbohydrate-binding module in the function of a recombinan...
Lordelo, M.M.; Guerreiro, C.I.P.D.; Ribeiro, T.; Ponte, P.I.P.; Falcão, L.; Freire, J.P.B.; Ferreira, L.M.A.; Prates, J.A.M.; Fontes, C.M.G.A.Cellulases and xylanases display a modular architecture that comprises a catalytic module linked to one or more non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). CBMs have been classified into 52 different families, based on primary structure similarity. These non-catalytic modules mediate a prolonged and intimate contact of the enzyme with the target substrate eliciting efficient hydrolysis of the target poly...
Crop -glucanase activity limits the effectiveness of a recombinant cellulase us...
Lordelo, M.M.; Ponte, P.I.P.; Guerreiro, C.I.P.D.; Soares, M.C.; Mourão, J.L.; Crespo, J.P.; Crespo, D.G.; Prates, J.A.M.; Ferreira, L.M.A.1. The supplementation of diets rich in soluble polysaccharides with microbial cellulases and hemicellulases decreases digesta viscosity and promotes broiler performance. 2. In contrast, recent experiments suggest that polysaccharidases are ineffective for improving the nutritive value of pasture biomass used by free-range broilers. However, the feasibility of using cellulases and hemicellulases to improve the ...
A family 11 carbohydrate binding module (CBM) improves the efficacy of a recomb...
Lordelo, M.M.; Ribeiro, T.; Ponte, P.I.P.; Guerreiro, C.I.P.D.; Santos, H.M.; Falcão, L.; Freire, J.P.B.; Ferreira, L.M.A.; Prates, J.A.M.1. Exogenous microbial -1,3-1,4-glucanases and hemicellulases contribute to improving the nutritive value of cereals rich in soluble non-starch polysaccharides for poultry. 2. In general, plant cell wall hydrolases display a modular structure comprising a catalytic module linked to one or more non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). Based on primary structure similarity, CBMs have been classified in...
Produção de frangos de carne em pastagens à base de Leguminosas
Ponte, P.I.P; Rosado, C.M.C; Crespo, J.P; Crespo, D.G; Chaveiro-Soares, M.A; Mourão, J.L; Mendes, I; Gama, L.T; Prates, J.A.M; Ferreira, L.M.APortugal apresenta reconhecidas potencialidades edafoclimáticas para a produção de pastagens à base de leguminosas, tanto em condições de regadio como de sequeiro. Este trabalho pretendeu avaliar a possibilidade de desenvolver formas alternativas para a produção de frangos de carne em pastagens. Avaliou-se o desempenho produtivo de frangos RedBro Cou Nu x RedBro M mantidos dos 28 aos 56 dias em pastagens de se...
