Aim of the study was to evaluate effects diet non-phytate phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) level on growth performance some blood, bone faeces parameters broilers. A total 480 one-day-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated 3 dietary treatments with 5 replicates for a 42-d study. Corn-soybean meal based diets consisted three different Ca P concentrations starter grower periods. High, mediu...

An experiment on Lohmann male broilers was conducted to evaluate the effect of different energy and protein levels on broiler performance and plasma concentrations of growth hormone (GH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). 600 day-old broilers were fed on either 2800(low-energy) or 3200(high-energy) Kcal ME/Kg diets with different protein levels during three periods of starter, grower a...

Dozier, III, A. J. Davis, and M. E. Freeman, University of Georgia. According to a popular benchmark reporting service, a diverse array of metabolizable energy values is being used in formulating di...

Over a 6-month period, the mean mortality risk (based on 393 operations participating in the United States National Animal Health Monitoring System 1995 National Swine Study, and representing operations with > or = 300 market hogs in 16 states), was 2.3 +/- 0.2% in the grower/finisher production phase (where figures after the +/- represent the standard error of the estimate). Mortality > or = 4...

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...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (DLP) on performance of broilers and laying hens. In first experiment, 240 of broilers (Ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. The amounts of DLP in diets were 0, 1.5, 3 and 4.5 percentage. In the se...

an investigation was carried out to evaluate the growth performance of six commercial broiler hybridsavailable in iran (arbor acres, arian, cobb 500, hubbard, lohmann and ross 508). two hundred and fiftyfertile eggs of each hybrid were taken from different breeder farms, all over the country. the similarity offlocks ages and their health conditions were considered. after hatching, the sexed chi...

l-carnitine as a water soluble derivative of lysine has a crucial biological role in lipid metabolism. present experiment was conducted to study the effect of l-carnitine supplementation into broiler and/or breeder diets on broilers' performance, blood related factors, carcass characteristics and immune system. l-carnitine was added to the broiler breeder's diets at levels of 0, and 6...

Two 42-d floor pen studies were conducted with commercial broiler chickens to measure the efficacy of 1 ppm diclazuril in the starter or grower diet in shuttle programs with 66 ppm salinomycin. Study 1 compared a salinomycin to diclazuril (starter to grower diet) shuttle treatment with salinomycin to salinomycin, salinomycin to 100 ppm monensin, salinomycin to 99.8 ppm lasalocid, and unmedicate...

background & aim: a feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of periodically use of garlic on growth ‎performance, and antibody titer to newcastle and infectious bursal diseases in broiler ‎chickens. experimental: ross broiler chicks randomly allocated into the 10 dietary treatments ‎for 6 weeks. a 3 × 4 factorial experiment was used as three periods of feeding (starter, grower...
