The objective of this study was to determine the effects of alpha lipoic acid on the performance and serum lipid profile in broiler chicken. In this study, eighty, day-old Venn Cobb commercial broiler chicks broiler chicks were randomly distributed into two treatment groups with four replicates of ten birds each and the birds were fed with experimental diets T1 (Control ration as per BIS [1992]...

A total of 700 day old female broiler chicks (Ross 308) were distributed into seven groupsin acompletely randomized designwith five replicates, and 20 chicks in each replicate. Dietary treatments, timeof the switch from an unsaturated sunflower oil (SFO) to a saturated tallow (T)dietary fat source, were: 1) SFO for the entire growth period (6 weeks), 2) SFO for 5 weeks followed byT for last wee...

The implication of heat stress (HS) in the oxidative phenomenon and its related diseases chickens has been widely reported. Salicin is a precursor for synthesis salicylic acid aspirin obtained from bark Salix alba, with an undeniable anti-inflammatory effect. However, little attention paid to salicin’s antioxidant/oxidative stress-reducing effect compared well-known purpose study was investigat...

Three hundred one-day-old male broilers (Ross 308) were allocated to five treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design. Treatments supplemented with 0 (control), 400, 800, 1200 or 1600 ppb chromium in the form of chromium chloride. All birds were intramuscularly immunized with killed vaccine of Newcastle and Avian Influenza (H9 N2) virus at 8 d. On days 18 and 28 blood samp...

the goal of this study was to determine the effects of ?-agonist zilpaterol hydrochloride on growth performance and carcass quality in ross broiler chicken. zilpaterol hydrochloride was daily fed at levels 0, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3 mg/kg of live body weight (lbw) from d 25 to 45 of age. eighty 308 ross female broiler chickens were employed in a 20 d feeding trial of four replicates, five birds per trea...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of inclusion sodium bentonite (SB) in Japanese quails’ diet on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical status, and meat quality traits. A total 120 seven-day-old quails ( Coturnix coturnix Japonica ) were randomly divided into four groups, with each group containing five replicates, six birds each. SB mixed at concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 2...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the heamato-biochemical, relative organ weight and bacteria count of broiler chicken given different levels of Luffa aegyptiaca leaf extract (LUF). A total of 250 day old Ross 308 broiler chicks of mixed sex were divided into five treatments, each group was further divided into five replicates each of ten (10) birds in a completely randomized design. ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried aerial parts powder and extract of tanacetum balasmita (tb) medicinal plant on performance, carcass traits and blood parameters of broilers. two hundred eighty ross-308 broilers from 10 to 42 days of age were used in a completely randomized design in 5 treatments and 4 replicates (14 birds per replicate). the tre...

effects of post-hatch fasting (phf) and subcutaneous injection of ca-gluconate (ca-g) on productive performance, immune response and mortality of broiler chicks were investigated using 640 one-day-old ross 308 chicks in a 5×2 factorial experiment with five phf levels (zero, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h) and two ca-g injection levels (zero and 0.7 ml) in a completely randomized block design in four repli...
