Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of study of this Special Issue includes animals and fish. The main research content focuses on nutritional metabolic disorders, including dysregulation of autoregulation and foodborne overintake or underintake. Nutrients can be proteins, lipids, sugars, or trace elements, and there are new processes to regulate or supplement nutrients. At the same time, the focus of this publication is animal toxicosis-related research content, especially new environmental toxicants, with the aim of exploring the relevant pathogenic mechanism and harm to animals. At the same time, related animal nutritional metabolic diseases and toxicosis treatment measures or drugs are also in the scope of this Special Issue. We welcome research dedicated to dealing with the digestion, absorption, transport, and metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, organic acids, alkaloids, and drugs, as well as metabolomics, lipidomics, and the crosstalk between gastrointestinal microbiota and the host involved in nutritional and metabolic diseases in animals. This Special Issue is not only intended for results of studies about nutritional and metabolic diseases in domestic animals and in vitro models but is also open to results of studies from cell and animal models for human nutritional and metabolic diseases.

Glycerin contributes to the animal’s energy metabolism as an important structural component of triglycerides and phospholipids. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of replacing corn with 0, 5, 10, and 15% of glycerin in terms of performance, digestibility, carcass yield, relative weights of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) organs, and nutrient metabolism. Four hundred chickens (40.0 g ± 0.05 g) were distributed in a completely randomized design with four treatments and five replicates. Growth parameters were measured at 7, 14, 21, and 42 days. Digestibility of crude protein and fat, carcass yield, relative weights of GIT organs, and biochemical blood profile were measured. The results were subject to an analysis of variance by Tukey’s HSD test (p > 0.05). The inclusion of 5%, 10%, or 15% of glycerin did not influence performance or affect the crude protein and fat digestibility in broilers (p > 0.05) when compared to that of the basal (0%) diet. Similarly, the supplementation of glycerin levels showed no significant influence (p > 0.05) on the relative GIT organ weights, carcass yield, or nutrient metabolism. Thus, we concluded that glycerin may be included in the broilers’ diets in rations of up to 15%. Full article
