to evaluate the effects of supplementation of tomato pomace (tp), canola, soybean and tallow oils on performance, carcass characteristics, and bone parameters of heat stressed broilers, 792 d-old arian broiler were divided to 36 pens. each dietary treatment had 4 replicate with 22 birds each. these factorial experiment (3*3) involved 3 kinds of canola, soybean and tallow oils and 3 levels of 0,...

background: exogenous phytase enhances the utilization of plant phytate phosphorus in poultry. objectives: in the present study the effects of exogenous phytase was investigated on tibia bone characteristics of white quail. methods: in a 2x2 factorial arrangement, eighty, 11-day old unsexed chicks were randomly divided into 4 treatments of 20 replicates. all birds received one of four experimen...

one hundred and eighty 28-days-old arbor acres broiler birds were utilized in a 28 day experiment to investigate the effect of replacing bone ash with eggshell meal in the diet of broiler birds on their nutrient digestibility and blood parameters. five experimental diets tagged t1, t2, t3, t4 and t5 were formulated to be isocaloric (2865.53 kcal me/kg) and isonitrogenous (20% crude protein) suc...

Studies attempting to document reproductive or other pre-lethal senescence effects in wild birds typically face an array of problems, including flaws in statistical analyses, non-adaptive philopatry to deteriorating environments, confounding effects arising from cohort heterogeneity and differential death rates of phenotypes and the frequent pairing of old birds to younger mates. Furthermore, r...

The objectives of this study were to compare measurements of retention and prececal (pc) digestibility in evaluating mineral phosphorus (P) sources in 3- and 5-wk-old broilers. A corn-soybean meal-based basal diet was used (0.35% P on DM basis). Anhydrous monosodium phosphate (MSP(a)) or anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate (DCP(a)) was supplemented to increment the P concentration by 0.08%, 0.1...

This study was carried out to measure the prececal protein and ether extract digestibility of shrimp and fish meal using the regression approach. A total of 280 Cobb 500 day-old broilers (mixed sexes) were randomly allotted to 7 treatment groups (4 replicates of 10 broilers each) in a completely randomized design. Feed intake was higher in the birds that received protease-supplemented shrimp me...

This study was conducted using one hundred and eighty (180) day-old broiler chicks, of Anak strain to assess the levels of inclusion of indomie waste meal as a substitute for maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The birds were randomly assigned to dietary treatments using completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment contained 3 replicates and each replicate had 6 birds. The study lasted for e...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of egg size and the age and strain of hens on the content of egg solids. Eggs were obtained from commercial farms from four strains of hens with similar age groups and received diets formulated to contain the same dietary energy and protein levels across the strains within a farm. Eggs were collected on 2 different d when the flocks reached the aver...

The effects of body size and feed intake on N digestibility, pancreas and Liver weight, and digestive enzyme activities in male broiler chicks were compared with those induced by dietary tannins. Four groups (SSM, ad lib., pair-fed and young) of sixteen birds each (2 weeks old) were used as experimental animals. They were fed on experimental diets for 4 weeks, except the young group which were ...

Poultry producers accustomed to use light colours in broiler production as atrial increase their productivity, especially the developing countries cover animal protein gap. This experiment was planned study effect of different blue colour intensities (high, medium and dim) on a recently imported Indian River (IR) broilers Egypt. In this study, 270 one-day old chicks were used. The birds exposed...
