To investigate the efficacy of alternatives to antibiotics, the present study was conducted to compare the effects of antibiotic, lactic acid, a blend of commercial essential oils (EOs) and EOs in combination with lactic acid on growth performance and the functional activity of the gut in broiler chickens. A total of 168 broiler chickens were given the basal diet supplemented with 10 ppm colist...

The current trial was conducted to investigate effects of tryptophan (Trp) supplementation in crude protein (CP) deficient diets on performance, gut development and immune responses in broiler chickens. A total of 420 day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were assigned to one of 6 dietary treatments, ‎comprising 5 replicates in a completely randomized design including: 1) ‎control diet (CTL) (diet ...

Ultrasound is commonly used in clinical examination which is economic, non-invasive and convenient. Ultrasound can be used for the examination of solid organs and hollow organs. Due to the presence of air, routine ultrasound examination of the digestive tract is not very appropriate, Because of the development of endosonography and its related technology, diagnosis and treatment of gastrointest...

Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States, affecting multiple health outcomes in children, adolescents, and adults [2–5]. This increased risk includes metabolic disturbances such as glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular and liver diseases [6–21]. Increasing data suggest that the link between obesity and poor health outcome is rel...

The effects of replacing groundnut cake(GNC) with cottonseed cake (CSC) at 0, 50 and 100% levels in starter finisher diets on broiler performance, carcass characteristics gut morphology were evaluated a 56 - day feeding trial. Average daily feed intake, average weight gain, feed/gain ratio significantly (P< 0.05) affected by dietary treatments the phases. Eviscerated (E. W) dressing percenta...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Sar1b GTPase (Sar1b) represents an obligatory component of COPII vesicles that bud from the endoplasmic reticulum to transport proteins to the Golgi apparatus. Its genetic mutations lead to a severe disorder known as chylomicron retention disease. Despite growing knowledge on Sar1b, little is known about it tissue distribution and regulation, which constitute the aims of the pre...

The article presents data on pathomorphological changes of the digestive organs in associative course heterakidosis and histomoniasis turkeys. Changes liver were observed 57.1% cases: protein fatty dystrophy, hepatocyte necrosis. cеcal lesions 100% cases, mainly fibrinous inflammation. In other parts intestinal tract – acute catarrhal

BACKGROUND Excessive non-subcutaneous fat deposition may impair the functions of surrounding tissues and organs through the release of inflammatory cytokines and free fatty acids. OBJECTIVE We examined the cross-sectional association between non-subcutaneous adiposity and calcified coronary plaque, a noninvasive measure of coronary artery disease burden. DESIGN Participants in the Multi-Eth...
