Background: Organic acids and ammonium salts added to drinking water can optimize productivity of broiler chickens. Objective: To evaluate the effect acidifying on productive performance, blood intestinal pH, morphology broilers. Methods: 1,400 one-day-old chicks were used two pH levels (4 6) during three periods (1-21, 1-28, 1-42 days age). The treatments consisted with a blend formic acid (31...

This experiment investigated the effects of different doses of Bacillus subtilis spore as a probiotic on the immune response, intestinal morphology and ileal dry matter digestibility in broiler chicks exposed to stress induced by corticosterone (CORT). Two hundred and eighty-eight one-day-old Ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to six treatments in a <e...

The nature of the increased vascular resistance in chronic hypertension has been the subject of much investigation and speculation. The evidence strongly suggests that this resistance is mainly at arteriolar level; hence the arterioles are often referred to as the resistance vessels. When hypertension was first recognized, it was thought that structural changes in the arterioles and capillaries...
