the objective of this paper was to study the responses on productive performance, carcass characteristics and plasma constituents of modern broiler chicks to administration of cinnamon powder (cp) in the diet. commercial breeds (ross 308) of broiler chicks examined from 1 to 42 days of age. this experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and four replicates (15...

This study investigated the Pennyroyal in terms of its effects on performance and meat quality (color pH) Japanese quails different levels. A total one day-old quail chicks were randomly distributed to a control two experimental groups containing three levels pennyroyal (0.0, 0.1 0.2 %). Each group was divided into five repetitive with, ten each group. At end experiment, values parameters measu...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of feed withdrawal on the viscera of commercial broilers. Birds were withdrawn from feed 0, 3, 9, 12, 14, 16, or 18 h before slaughter. Crop and gizzard contents were determined after dissection, and intestinal shape and villi were subjectively scored. Raw liver color was measured colorimetrically. Length of feed withdrawal (time) and its inte...

Three-hundred and twenty 7-day-old Ross 308-strain broiler chickens were fed diets containing 0 or 125 ppb aflatoxin B 1 (AFB1) from 7 to 28 days of age. Sodium bentonite (0.5%), yeast (Saccharomyces cervisiae) 0.2%, hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) (0.5%), ammonia (0.5%), formycine (0.1%), and toxiban (0.1%) were added to the basal diet, as fed basis to determine the effects of ...

The effects of selected herbal dietary supplements on the growth performance and carcass quality of broiler chicken were investigated. Three hundred and eight day-old, male broiler chicks of Indian River strain were randomly allotted to seven experimental diets namely negative control, 0.0125% flavomycin (positive control), 0.1% Moringa leaf powder (MLP), 0.05% Moringa leaf powder, 0.035% Zigbi...

Blebbistatin is a myosin II-specific inhibitor. However, the mechanism and tissue specificity of the drug are not well understood. Blebbistatin blocked the chemotaxis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) toward sphingosylphosphorylcholine (IC(50) = 26.1 +/- 0.2 and 27.5 +/- 0.5 microM for GbaSM-4 and A7r5 cells, respectively) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (IC(50) = 32.3 +/- 0.9 and 3...
