This study aimed to investigate and compare nonlinear growth models (NLMs) with the predicted performance of broilers using an artificial neural network (ANN). Six hundred forty broiler chicks were sexed and randomly reared in 32 separate pens as a factorial experiment with 4 treatments and 4 replicates including 20 birds per pen in a 42-day period. Treatments consisted of 2 metabolic energy le...

Abstract The main goal of broiler breeders management is producing fertilized egg that can be hatched and to generate hatching eggs will result in saleable chicks. purpose this research was evaluate the effects supplementation Nutricell HyC® (combination 25OHD3 vitamin C) with various levels on fertility breeders. This used 6,158 female Cobb strain which were distributed according a completely ...

The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the effects Punica granatum L. and Allium cepa peels aqueous cyclodextrin extracts on broiler chicks’ performance welfare status, as well meat chemical composition oxidative stability. A total 120 one-day-old male Ross-308 chicks were randomly allocated three treatments with four replicate pens (10 per pen). Broiler in control group fed typical commerci...

Abstract This experiment was conducted to explore the effect of fenugreek seeds (FSP) and synbiotic (SP) powders in diet as antioxidant factors on antioxidative, physiological, immunological indicators serum anatomical properties during exposing oxidative stress (OS) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) drinking water broiler chickens from nd until 35 th day age. Totally, 300 chicks Ross 308 a...

Three hundred one-day-old male broilers (Ross 308) were allocated to five treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design. Treatments supplemented with 0 (control), 400, 800, 1200 or 1600 ppb chromium in the form of chromium chloride. All birds were intramuscularly immunized with killed vaccine of Newcastle and Avian Influenza (H9 N2) virus at 8 d. On days 18 and 28 blood samp...

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of antibodies to ALV-J in broilers and broiler breeders. For this, 5 broiler units and 1 broiler breeding unit in the Marmara region were visited. Seventy 4-6 -week-old chicks from the broiler units, consisting of 14 chicks from each broiler unit, were selected. Seventeen chickens from the broiler breeding unit were also selected. The chicks...
