Short and long-term effects of manipulating dietary CP content and diet quality in weaner diets on health and performance of pigs were investigated in a 2 x 2 factorial combination of CP inclusion (high-CP, 230 g of CP/kg vs. low-CP, 170 g of CP/kg) and diet quality (high-quality, cooked cereals, and animal protein vs. low-quality, raw cereals, and plant protein). Diets were fed ad libitum for ...

A total of 2,106 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 73.5 ± 4.21 lb) were used in a 101-d growth study to evaluate the effects dietary benzoic acid level on grow-finish pig performance and carcass characteristics. Pens (27 per pen) randomly assigned 1 3 treatments with 13 pens treatment. Dietary corn-soybean meal-DDGS-based an inclusion none, 0.25, or 0.50% (VevoVitall, DSM Nutritional Products, Pa...

Background: This study was conducted to determine the effect of particles size starter diet on growth performance broiler chickens. Methods: A total 384 Arbor Acres chicks were usedin a completely randomized design with three treatments and four replicates 32 birds each.Birds fed diets 3 sizes (T1: 1.0 mm; T2: 0.8 T3: 0.7 mm) during first week life. At 7 d, same offered in crumbled form until 1...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing dietary limestone with mashhad power plant calcium-waste in combination with available phosphorus level on growth performance, tibial strength and blood alkaline phosphatase activity in broiler chickens. three hundred and eighty four male broiler chickens were used in a complete randomized design experiment with a 4×2 factorial arr...

the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of corn substitution with triticale in grower diets (zero, 50 and 100%) with/without exogenous enzyme supplementation on growth performance, digestive organs relative weight, jejunal morphology and blood lipids of quail chicks. two hundred and forty one-day-old unsexed japanese quail chicks were randomly assigned to a completely randomiz...

The present meta-analysis examined the effects of garlic supplementation on average daily gain (ADG) and blood lipids profile broiler chickens by aggregating 40 peer-reviewed articles published between 1991 2021. studies assessing intervention diets were selected from Scopus, Science Direct, Web Science, PubMed Central, DOAJ databases based eligibility criteria developed referring to PRISMA (Pr...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of exogenous enzymes supplementation (es) on performance, carcass traits and some blood parameters of broilers chickens. one hundred and eighty day old chicks with 40 ± 2 g initial body weight in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 4 replications were fed experimental diets included, 1) basal diet no enzymes (control), 2) bas...

A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of fat emulsifier on fat utilization in broiler chickens using 240 days old chicks which were divided into 24 replicates in a 3×2 factorial arrangement under Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Experimental diets were formulated using 1, 2 or 3% fat with or without fat emulsifier (Lecithin) at 350 mg kgG1. The trial lasted for 35 days and was divided...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of creatine and protein in diets on performance and meat quality of broiler chickens. a total of 320 day old ross broiler chicks were used in a 2×4 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments comprised two levels of protein (ross recommendation and 10% higher than recommendation) and four levels of creatine (0, 0.1, 0....
