Presentation Transcript

  1. Dietary fibre * = not the total content

  2. Cellulose • cell wall structure (10-15 thousand glucose units) • does not soluble in water • higher animals and humans can’t digest • bacteria in the rumen and large intestine produce cellulase enzyme

  3. The structure of starch and cellulose starch cellulose

  4. Hemicelluloses • closely associated with cellulose • can bind water • not homogenous structure (glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, arabinose polymers) • can metabolise only bacteria

  5. Pectic subtances • the first compound of primary cell walls • the linear chain of galacturonic acid • good water absorbing capacity • soluble in hot water, but animals can not digest • contains considerable gelling properties (jam making)

  6. Lignin • is not a well defined compound • alcohol polymer • high résistance to chemical degradation • binding to cell wall polysaccharides, mostly cellulose • wood products and straw are rich • do not solve in water • from nutritional point of view has a negative effect

  7. Other fibre compounds • -glucan, arabinoxylan (wheat, barley, rye, oats) • anti-nutritive effect • increasing the viscosity of the digesta • decrease the digestibility of nutrients • sticky droppings, Salmonella contamination of eggs • chitin • a linear polymer of glucose amine, containing insects, fungi, and green algae • exudate gums • produces from wounds of plants, contains arabinose, galactose, glucuronic acid

  8. The effect of fibre in the nutrition of ruminants • chewing, rumination, producing saliva, rumen contraction • structural fibre (min. 75% of crude fibre) • only microbes in the digestive tract produce digestive enzymes (cellulase, hemicellulase etc.) • energy source, precursor of volatile fatty acids • has an influence on the time of rumen fermentation, the transport time of chyme in the intestine

  9. Rumen degradation of dietary carbohydrates hemicellulose CH3 cellulose C=O pectin COOH acetate starch pyruvate propionate sucrose butyrate lactose

  10. The effect of fibre in the nutrition of monogastric animals • bacterial degradation only in the caecum and large intestine (horse, rabbits) • peristaltic movement of the intestine horse > rabbit > pig > poultry 12-20% 10-14% 3-8% 3-6% • young animals need less • high fibre decrease the digestibility of the other nutrients • increase endogenous losses • chyme transport time decrease • high fibre means less concentrated food • satiety feeling

  11. Symptoms of fibre deficiency • rumen function disturbances • constipation • anorexy • oesophageal and stomach ulcers

  12. Crude fibre content of some feedstuffs (%)

  13. Fibre requirement of different animal species (%)

  14. Effect of dietary fibre in the human nutrition • requirement: 30-40 g/day • consumption: 15-25 g/day Consequences of fibre deficiency : • large bowel problems, diseases (constipation, diverticuloses, colon or rectal cancer) • metabolic disorders (obesity, diabetes high blood lipid parameters)
