TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed some nutritional aspects that could interfere with the moisture and quality of poultry excretaflitter, focusing on dietary factors affecting water consumption, water excretion and the amount and composition of excreta: dietary protein level, electrolyte balance, ionophores, cereals causing viscosity problems or containing high levels of non-digestible fibre fractions, unusual ingredients or byproducts and finally some feed technological treatments.

Abstract: The control of excretanitter moisture and quality is a priority in the modern poultry industry, to avoid environmental and animal welfare problems and to reduce productivity losses. Control implies the reduction of their amounts and moisture content. Several factors can affect them, some related to management and housing, others related to diseases and finally, dietary factors. The paper reviews some nutritional aspects that could interfere with the moisture and quality of poultry excretaflitter, focusing on dietary factors affecting water consumption, water excretion and the amount and composition of excreta: dietary protein level, electrolyte balance, ionophores, cereals causing viscosity problems or containing high levels of non-digestible fibre fractions, unusual ingredients or by-products and finally some feed technological treatments.

TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that low or highly soluble dietary non starch polysaccharides (NSP) differently affect infections with Heterakis gallinarum or Ascaridia galli in grower layers and indicated that S-NSP resulted in lowest worm burden in dimetridazole-untreated birds, whereas it caused highest worms burden in treated birds.

Dietary electrolyte balance for broiler chickens under moderately high ambient temperatures and relative humidities
TL;DR: Water intake increased linearly with increasing DEB, giving higher litter moistures and lower rectal temperatures, and blood HCO3 and pH increased with the highest DEB (360 mEq/kg) causing respiratory alkalosis.
