[ 1 ] - Distribution of Antibiotic Resistance Genes among the Phylogroups of Escherichia coli in Diarrheic Calves and Chickens Affected by Colibacillosis in Tehran, Iran

Antibiotic resistance occurs in the endogenous flora of exposed population in addition to pathogenic bacteria. This study was conducted to evaluate the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes among 63 isolates of Escherichia coli of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in diarrheic calves and poultry. According to the results, B1 and B2 were the most prevalent phylogroups of E. coli in calves and pou...

[ 2 ] - The effect of Resistant Starch and pistachio hull phenolic extract feeding on feed intake, performance, Hematological and blood parameters of suckling Holstein calf

The present study was performed to determine the effect of resistant starch as a type of prebiotic and phenolic compound extract on performance, hematological and blood parameters of suckling Holstein calf. For this, 54 suckling Holstein calves (27 male and 27 female) were randomly assigned in 9 treatments including: RS1 (8 g resistant starch), RS2 (16 g resistant starch), PE1 (1800 mg phenolic...

[ 3 ] - Effects of Different Levels of Resistant Starch on Growth Performance and Ileum Morphology in Broilers: A Comparison to Fructooligosaccharide and Zinc Bacitracin

This study was conducted to examine effects of resistant starch compared to fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and zinc bacitracin (ZnB), on performance and ileum morphology in broilers. The experiment groups included a control (basal diet with no additive; CON), four groups receiving different levels of resistant starch type 2 (1, 2, 3, and 4% added to basal diet; RS), a group receiving fructooligosa...
