Importance of adapted digestion conditions to simulate in vitro lipid digestion of broilers in different life stages.

ABSTRACT: In vitro digestion studies demonstrate large potential to gain more and quicker insights into the underlying mechanisms of feed additives, allowing the optimization of feed design. Unfortunately, current in vitro digestion models relevant for broiler chickens lack sufficient description in terms of protocols and standardisation used. Furthermore, no distinction is made between the different life phases of these animals (starter, grower, and finisher). Hence, our research aimed to establish adapted in vitro digestion conditions, corresponding to the 3 life phases in broilers, with specific focus on lipid digestion. The effect of 3 different bile salt concentrations of 2, 10, and 20 mM, and 3 different lipase activities of 5, 20, and 100 U/mL, on in vitro lipid digestion kinetics were evalua
