1. The effects of including copra meals from different sources in nutritionally-balanced broiler chick diets were compared. A meal screw press-expelled twice to contain 75 g residual lipid/kg produced a lower growth rate than a meal pressed once to contain 220 g lipid/kg. 2. Chicks fed copra meal at 400 g/kg diet had a higher growth rate on a diet formulated to contain 12.4 g lysine/kg and 8.3 ...

an experiment was conducted to determine the appropriate methionine level in broiler breeder’s diet. the treatments consisted of 6 levels of methionine (0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4 and 0.45% diets), with 4 replicates of 7 hens each for a duration of 8 weeks and for ages of 28 to 35 weeks. diets contained similar levels of protein metabolizable energy. the levels of the other amino acids were take...

an experiment with 300 one-day old ross male broiler chicks was conducted to determine the effects of glauconite and zeolite on the broiler's performance, tibia bone and blood characteristics. five experimental treatments [control, glauconite (2 & 4 percent), and zeolite (2 & 4 percent)] were used in a completely randomized design with 4 replicates. during the experiment weight gain, feed ...
