the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of different levels of triticale with/ without enzyme cocktail (xylanase and β-glucanase) on performance of broiler chicks. five hundred day old male broiler chicks (ross 308), assigned to a factorial arrangement (5×2) with a completely randomized design with 5 replicates of 10 chicks each. the factors included 5 levels of triticale (0...

a total of 150 day old female chickens (ross 308) were randomly allocated to 2 groups with 5 replicate and 15 chicks in each replicate to determine the effects of cold induced ascites on performance, antioxidant status, blood enzyme activities and bone metabolism. the two experimental treatments were: 1) chicks that reared under normal temperature (nt) and 2) chicks that reared under cold tempe...

the objective of this study was to find a relationship between blood gas parameters and thyroid hormoneactivity with ascites syndrome in broiler chickens exposed to cold temperature and receiving a high qualitydiet. one hundred and sixty one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided in two equal groups. toincrease the incidence of ascites, chicks of group 1 were fed ad libitum with a higher ...

The effect of dietary thyme-oil extract (TOE) supplementation on immune functions of broilers were assessed by feeding graded levels (50, 100, 200, or 400 ppm) of TOE to male broiler chicks during a 42-d feeding trial compared with negative- or positive-control diets. Dietary control treatments included a negative-control diet with no feed-additive supplementation and 2 positive-control groups ...

This study evaluated the effects of elevated incubation temperature on posthatch nutrient transporter gene expression, integrity of the intestinal epithelium, organ development, and performance in Ross 308 broiler chickens. Ross × Ross 308 fertile eggs (n = 900) were incubated at different eggshell temperatures during development. From embryonic day (ED) 1 to ED12, all eggs were incubated at 37...

Two hundred eighty days old male broiler chicks(Ross strain) were randomly distributed into seven groups with four replicates (10 birds in each replicate) and were fed diets supplemented with different dietary fat sources.The results indicated that the different dietary treatments did not affect weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio at 21 d (P>0.05). However, addition of dietary fa...

Four hundred fifty day old unsexed broiler chicks were used in a 35-day trial at Chittagong veterinary and animal sciences university farm to find out the effect of using crude soybean oil sediment (CSOS) as a substitute for refined soybean oil (RSO) in broiler diet. The experiment was carried out following completely randomized design. The chicks were randomly distributed in three treatment gr...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary salvia mirzayanii supplementation on performance, carcass characteristics, internal organs and cecal microbial population in broilers. a total of 200, one-day-old broiler chicks (ross 308) were fed five experimental diets containing different levels of s. mirzayanii (zero, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and one percent of diet) until 42 days of...
