Investigates the gastrointestinal transit time in 18-week-old Magang geese fed different feedstuffs, suggesting optimal durations for digestibility tests.

Key Points

The aim is to analyze the impact of various feedstuffs on the gastrointestinal transit time of 18-week-old Magang geese.
Eighty male Magang geese, aged 18 weeks, were divided into 10 groups with different feedstuffs.
Geese were tube-fed with various diets including corn, sorghum, wheat, and rice bran.
Excreta samples were collected every 6 hours for 48 hours to assess weight changes and TiO₂ recovery.
Excreta weight increased significantly in the first 24 hours across all feedstuffs (P < 0.05).
From 24 to 48 hours, little change occurred for cereal or protein diets (P > 0.05).
Diets containing 25% to 100% rice bran showed a notable increase in excreta weight from 24 to 36 hours, stabilizing afterward.
TiO₂ recovery increased for rice bran diets during the first 36 hours but remained stable thereafter.
