the role of histamine in the regulation of food and water intake in mammals and birds of the review, this study evaluated the effects of intraperitoneal administration of famotidine as histamine h2 -receptor antagonist, in broiler chicks on feed intake and satiety in water and was hungry. 32 male ross broiler chicks reared in groups of four weeks, 16 samples (control and test ) were then inject...

This study was conducted to compare the effects of diets Borage Powder and control (no additives diets) on broiler’s average blood cell counts and immune system on the broiler chicks. Sixty four male broiler chicks (Ross 308) randomly allocated into one of two treatments with four replicates of eight chickens based on a completely randomized block design.  Diets were include control (no additiv...

this experiment was conducted to study of using different level and treatments of common vetch (visia sativa) on broiler performance in a completely randomized design with 10 treatments, 4 replications and 10 chicks in each, using 400 cobb500 broiler chicks. treatments were: corn-soybean meal based diet as control , and unprocessed or processed common vetch seed (water or autoclaving) each at 3...

A total of 1905 mixed sex day old broiler chickens were reared in environmentally controlled house for 5 weeks to study the production performance of chicks by feeding different levels of canola meal in their diets. The chickens were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment groups ( A, B, C, D and E ) having three replicates of 127 birds in each group. Groups A, B, C, D and E were fed pelle...

The influence of enzyme supplementation on performance and digestibility of dry matter and protein in young broiler chicks was examined for a diet based on triticale supplemented with different levels of enzyme. In a completely randomized design, two hundred d-old chicks (Ross strain) were divided into 20 groups, ten chicks per group. A basal diet containing 65% triticale was supplemented with ...

Objective: The aim of this experiment was to determine chemical composition, protein quality of corn gluten meal (CGM) and its effect on growth performance of broiler chicks. Methods: Chemical composition and nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy of CGM was determined by standard and precision-fed cockerel assay methods.  For evaluating of protein quality, 90 male broiler chicks in a com...

to evaluate the effect of supplemental vitamin c (vc) levels on performance and immune response of broiler chicks, 300 day-old ross male broiler chicks were allocated to a completly randomized design of 5 treatments(500 and 1000 ppm in diet, 500 and 1000 ppm in drinking water and control). immunity was assessed as antibody production against infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and newcastle disea...

Palm kernel cake (PKC) is the main byproduct from the palm oil industry in several tropical countries that contains considerable amounts of oligosaccharide. We earlier demonstrated beneficial prebiotic effects of oligosaccharides extract of PKC (OligoPKC) in starter and finisher broiler birds. This study was envisaged to elucidate the effects of in ovo and/or oral administration of the OligoPKC...

The efficacy of the commercial competitive exclusion product Broilact against Campylobacter jejuni was evaluated in broiler chickens in a 5-week pilot-scale study. Newly-hatched broiler chicks were brought from a commercial hatchery. After arrival 50 seeder chicks were challenged orally with approximately 10(3) cfu of C. jejuni, wing marked, and placed back in a delivery box and moved to a sepa...
