Introduction: Skin resistance is greatly dependent on its collagen amount and nutritional substances such as crude protein that affect the skin collagen can indirectly influence the skin resistance and increase its strength. In this regard, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of in ovo methionine injection on histomorphometry of the skin layers. Methods: Thirty fertilized eg...

The current research work was undertaken to evaluate the hepatoprotective and nephroprotective potential of Cichorium intybus following subchronic exposure imidacloprid in white leghorn (WLH) chicks. Thirty, 6 8 weeks old chicks 300-350 g weight were randomly equally divided into five groups. Group I served as control fed normal grower ration other medicated containing leaf powder @ 5000 ppm II...

In the present study, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of a combination of 3 ATCC lactobacilli (LAB3) or a commercially available probiotic culture (PROB) to reduce Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (Salmonella Enteritidis) in broiler chicks. Additionally, we varied the timing of PROB administration in relationship to Salmonella challenge and determined the i...

in order to evaluate the possible immunosuppressive effects of coccidial infection on cell mediated immunity (cmi) of broiler chickens, 640 ross male day old broiler chicks were randomly divided into 4 equal groups of 160 (each consist of 4 replicates of 40). the negative control group remained unchallenged, while the other three groups challenged with 3 different levels of high, medium and low...
