This trial was performed to study the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with fermented rapeseed meal (RSM) on growth performance, serum biochemistry variable and intestinal morphology of broilers. A total of 640 d-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments, 4 pens per treatment and 40 birds per pen for a 6-wk feeding trial. In the four treatment groups,...

the present study was done to study the effects of water hypericum perforatum extract (whpe) on performance, abdominal fat, carcass characteristics, and blood biochemical parameters of broilers with 160 day-old ross 308. broilers were randomly distributed among the16 experimental units of four treatments with four replications (10 birds in each replicate) for 42 days. the treatments were includ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect eubiotics on intestinal morphology broilers. For purpose, 125 birds were divided into six groups with two replicates each (10 in replicate). Group A given a Basal diet. All except group challenged Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. B provided basal diet, C fed Probiotic-added diet; D Prebiotics-based E essential oils plus and F organi...

background: nutritional strategies targeting improvement of poultry performance and disease prevention are currently being developed and in this respect the dietary intake of spiced essential oils and pre-biotics in raising broilers is receiving attention. objectives: this study was conducted to compare the effects of diet containing ginger essential oils (geo) and mannan-oligosaccharide (mos) ...

The effect of a dietary phytogenic feed additive (PFA) inclusion level in mucin monosaccharide composition, mucosal morphometry and mucus histochemistry along the broiler intestinal tract was studied. Cobb male broilers (n = 525) were allocated into five experimental treatments that, depending on the type of addition in the basal diet (BD), were labeled as follows: C (BD based on maize-soybean ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) overexpression and intestinal structure and digestive function in heat-stressed broilers. In total, 240 male broilers were injected intraperitoneally with l-(1)-glutamine (0.75 mg/kg of BW) or quercetin (5 mg/kg of BW). Twenty-four hours later, they were heat-stressed for 0, 2, 3, 5, and 10 h, ...

a 2 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of enzyme endofeed w (eew) at 0 and 0.05%, thyme essential oil (teo), probiotic primalac® (pp) and non-feed additive, on intestinal histomorphology of broilers fed wheat-based diet. each of the 6 dietary treatments was replicated 4 times with 12 chicks each from 0 to 42 days of age. there was no interaction between enzyme and ...

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of organic acids and phytase enzyme supplementation on performance and intestinal histomorphology of broilers. The experiment was done in a factorial arrangement 2 × 2 × 2 based on completely randomized design with eight treatments, five replicates with 12 chicks in each until 42 days of age. Diets included natural vinegar (0 and 2%),...
