A bio-assay was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation brown seaweed (Sargassum wigetti) on performance broilers. Broilers (400) were divided into 5 treatment groups. Each had 8 replicates with 10 birds per replicate. The chicks control (Group A) fed a basal diet. Group B diet bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD) at 0.005%. Treatment Groups C, D, and E received 0.07, 0.1...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of alfalfa leaf meal (alm) on egg production, egg traits and blood parameters of laying hens with 144 hy-line (w36) laying hens from 65-75 weeks of age in 4 treatments, 3 replicates and 12 hens in each replicate in a completely randomized design. experimental groups included: 1) control group, 2) group with 1% of alm, 3) ...

a 70-days experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of natural zeolite (clinoptelolite) on the performance of commercial laying hens. 288 hy-line w36 strain laying hens (50 weeks old) were allotted to 6 dietary treatments including basal diet as control and basal diet supplemented with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% zeolite that were fed ad -libitum throughout the experiment. experimental diets fo...

To study the effect of herb ginger powder on performance, carcass characteristics and blood parameters of broilers used from 192 broiler chicks (Ross ) in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates ( each replicate of 12 chicks ). All treatments, including different levels of ginger powder ratios of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 percent respectively called T1, 2T, T3 and T4 that were ad...

Objective: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding of different levels of dietary crude protein (17.5, 16.5 and 15.5%) with varying levels of lysine (0.77, 0.73 and 0.68%) and methionine (0.36, 0.34 and 0.32%) on performance of white leghorn layers from 34-53 weeks of age. Methodology: Each diet was fed ad libitum to 12 replicates consisting of 88 birds in each replicate. Egg...

The present work aimed at studying growth pattern and carcass traits in pearl grey guinea fowl fed on dietary Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder (NLP) over a period of 12 weeks. Day old guinea fowl keets (n=120) were randomly assigned to four treatment groups, each with 3 replicates. The first treatment was designated as control (T0) in which no supplement was added to the feed, while in tre...

An experiment was conducted to estimate the relative biological availability of manganese (Mn) from some inorganic sources compared with that from reagent grade Mn sulfate. Three hundred developed local strain "Golden Montazah" male chicks 4 weeks old were used. They were randomly distributed into 10 groups (3 replicates / group) (10 male chicks / replicate) according to the average replicate b...

a 42-d trial was conducted to compare the effects of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplements on growth performance, morphology of the jejunum, serum lipid profile and antibody response of broiler chickens. a total of 400 one-d-old male broiler chicks were randomly divided into four treatment groups of four replicates (25 birds per replicate) and fed corn-soybean meal diets. the dietary t...

to investigate the effect of cinnamon, turmeric and carnation powders on growth performance, carcass characteristics, morphological and ph changes of intestine and blood serum oxidation status in broilers, 450 unsexed ross 308 day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted in a completely randomized design with six treatments, five replicates and 15 birds per each replicate, for 42 days. the bro...
