This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary influence of aspirin on growth performance, antioxidant status and mortality in the broilers subjected to cold-induced ascites. A total six hundred 1-d old male broilers (Ross, 308) were randomly allotted to four treatment groups, with five replicate pens per treatment and 30 birds each. The experimental groups were kept in a cold c...

An experiment was conducted on one day old, 120 broiler chicks to study the effect of madar (Calotropis procera) leaf powder and amprolium supplementation caecal histology during coccidiosis. Broiler were divided into five groups (I-V) each with two replicates 12 chicks. Group I II provided unsupplemented diet, III supplemented 0.125% amprolium, group IV V 0.2% 0.4% respectively. On 15th experi...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of ascites-related physiological and metabolic parameters in broiler chickens fed with different components of bentonite. two hundred and seven days old arian male chicks were allocated into five dietary treatment groups including 1) basal diet (control); 2) basal diet + 1% sulphated sodium bentonite (ssb); 3) basal diet + 1% non-processed sodi...

two experiments were conducted to determine lysine (lys) requirements of two commercial strains, ross 308 and cobb 500, from 15 to 28d of age. basal diet was formulated to be adequate in all nutrients except for lys. incremental levels of supplemental lys were added to the basal diet generating six experimental treatments in a range from 0.60 to 1.20% digestible lys. birds were randomized acros...

The aim of this study was to recognize the effects of dietary hempseed (HS) and hempseed oil (HO) on performance, egg quality and blood parameters of laying hens. A total of 320 Hy-line 55-weeks laying hens were randomly allotted to eight dietary treatments with five replicates (8 birds each). The experimental treatments were offered as a completely randomized design as follow: control group (n...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary nigella sativa meal (nsm) on the growth performance, blood parameters, carcass characteristics, egg yolk cholesterol and meat quality in japanese quail. for this purpose 300 one-day old japanese quail chicks in a completely randomized design was used with five treatments in four replicates )containing 15 birds each(. the experimenta...

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) ...

Abstract Background The study examined the effects of dietary supplementation Syzygium aromaticum leaf meal (SLM) on haematology, serum biochemistry and antioxidative status laying hens. Results A total 150 20-week-old Isa brown birds were randomly assigned to three experimental diets: Diet 1/control (no supplementation), 2 (0.25% SLM) 3 (0.50% SLM). Each diet was further divided into five (5) ...
