This research was conducted to investigate the effect of inclusion of wheat bran (as a source of insoluble fiber) in a barley-based diet, fed from 11 to 42 d of age, on villus morphology of jejunum, serum cholesterol level, abdominal fat pad and growth performance of broiler chickens. Three hundred and thirty six 10-d-old female Ross 308 chicks were allocated to six diets with four replicates o...

effects of post-hatch fasting (phf) and subcutaneous injection of ca-gluconate (ca-g) on productive performance, immune response and mortality of broiler chicks were investigated using 640 one-day-old ross 308 chicks in a 5×2 factorial experiment with five phf levels (zero, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h) and two ca-g injection levels (zero and 0.7 ml) in a completely randomized block design in four repli...

Key questions for a local broiler farm are: which hybrid to rear and industrial feed use? To show how farmers can manage them, combination of biological tests characterizations the most commonly used hybrids feeds in (Serbian) market was designed performed. The Cobb 500 Ross 308 were used, as well same quality category from three established domestic producers (A, B, C) available market. A fact...

Background: Since the prohibition of antibiotic growth promoter in poultry ration by the European Union, poultry producers have been  trying to replace them by other growth promoters like medicinal herbs. Lipia citridora is a medicinal  herb enriched by several powerful phenolic compounds and with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which lead to enhancing appetite and growth performance o...

We determined the effects of dietary supplementation of different doses of Miswak (Salvadorapersica) steam and leaf powder on the performance, blood parameters, cecal flora, and carcass traits of broilers. Four hundred and eight one-day old Ross 308 broiler chicks were provided one of the following experimental diets over 42 days:  a basal diet without any additives, or a basal diet supplemente...

AIM An experimental study was conducted on 192-day-old broiler chicks for evaluating the effect of 10% neem leaf extract (NLE) supplementationon biochemical parameters in chickens experimentally infected with Escherichia coli O78 at 10(7) CFU/0.5 ml at 7 days of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 192-day-old broiler chicks were procured. These chicks were divided into two groups (A and B) contain...

This study investigated the effectiveness of clove and cardamom alcoholic extracts as growth promoters on performance, carcass traits, some blood serum components, immunity parameters, intestinal microbial population morphology broiler chicks. To this purpose, a total 240 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308 strain) were distributed randomly into three groups in form completely randomized design. The e...

In order to estimate the crude protein (CP) equivalence value of Natuzyme-p (NP) enzyme by using regression response equations, two experiments were carried out using Ross (308) broiler chicks. Graded levels of dietary CP (while amino acids levels were kept constant) and NP enzyme were used to derive the regression equation in the first experiment. Four levels of dietary CP and NP enzyme were f...
