the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mushroom waste and probiotic levels on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in broiler chickens. a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement with two levels of probiotic supplementation (0 and recommended rate) and three levels of mushroom waste inclusion (0%, 3%, and 6%) was used in a completely randomized design using male broi...

an 84-day feeding trial was carried out onfingerling (4.44 ± 0.06 g) rainbow trout (oncorhynchusmykiss, walbaum, 1792) to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with a commercial prebiotic grobiotic®-a (g-a) on the growth, feed efficiency, haematology and immunlogical parameters. ttreatments containing various inclusions of g-a (0 %, 0.5 %, 1.0 %, 1.5 %, 2.0 %, 2.5 %, and 3.0 %) were ad...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of satureja khuzistanica essential oils (skeo) on performance, serum metabolites and differential counts of white blood cells in broiler chickens. a total of 280 one-day-old straight-run cobb 500 broiler chickens were allocated into seven treatment groups with four replicates of 10 birds each from day 1 to 42 of age. the birds were continuously...

using probiotics can control pathogens by a variety of mechanisms. probiotics can promote growth performance and have, therefore, become increasingly important in the aquaculture industry. convict cichlid belongs to the family of cichlidae and is known for its rapid development in laboratory conditions and is suitable for behavioral examinations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect...

the effect of different levels of wood betony (wb), stachys lavandulifolia extract, as complement in feed, on the performance of common carp, cyprinus carpio was evaluated. the fish (44±0.62 g) was assigned to four treatments, three replicates each. the fish was fed on normal diet with no wb (control) vs. diet containing 2, 4 and 8% of wb extract. fish were successively fed on the diet, 2% live...

this study evaluated the effects of 0.25% activated charcoal added to sesame seed meal (ssm) in partial replacement of soybean meal (sbm) of juvenile clarias gariepinus diet on growth and haematological parameters for 70 day experimental period. six experimental diets were formulated as: control diet 1 (100% ssm without activated charcoal), control diet 2 (100% ssm plus 0.25% activated charcoal...

the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of corn substitution with triticale in grower diets (zero, 50 and 100%) with/without exogenous enzyme supplementation on growth performance, digestive organs relative weight, jejunal morphology and blood lipids of quail chicks. two hundred and forty one-day-old unsexed japanese quail chicks were randomly assigned to a completely randomiz...
