Aflatoxin B1 is a toxin produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus which reduces development and function of organs in broilers. The aim this study was to determine effect adding binder from different bentonite feed contaminated with AFB1 on productivity, intestinal morphology, liver toxicity A total 60-day old chick male broilers were placed 12 pens. Each treatment consisted three replicates, e...

Introduction & Aim: The aim the present study is to examine the effects of Boswellia serrata Triana & Planch on (immune response) performance and carcass characteristic in broiler chicks.  Experimental: In this study, 360 one day old chicks (Ross 308) were allocated to six treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design for a six week period. Treatments consisted of ...

A balance trial experiment was carried out to evaluate the potential relationship between an enzymatically hydrolyzed yeast (EHY) and yeast culture combined with a live Bacillus subtilis (Bs) on the productive parameters, ileal digestibility, retention of nutrient and energy and villus morphology in broilers. Seventy two 28 d old, Ross B308 male broilers were assigned to a factorial combination...

An Iowa grain processor attempted to alter the typical 12-h preharvest fasting period by giving broilers cornstarch derivative pellets and water for 6 h followed by 6 h of no feed or water. After slaughter, plant food inspectors determined that livers from the treatment group were lighter in color than normal, and consequently a significant number of chicken carcasses were condemned for human c...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of experimental chlorate product (ECP) feed supplementation on Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) in the crop and ceca of market-age broilers. In trial 1, 160 market-age broilers were randomly assigned to 8 treatment groups and replicated twice, with 20 broilers per pen for 1 wk. Trial 2 used the same design, but used 80 market-age broilers with 10 broilers...

Broiler mortality during transport to abattoirs (dead-on-arrival/DOA) evokes concern due to compromised animal welfare and associated economic losses. The general aim of this study was to characterize pathological lesions associated with mortality in broilers close to slaughter. The specific aim was to investigate whether disease at the end of the growth period may be a predisposing factor for ...

Ascites is a metabolic disorder of modern broilers that is distinguished by cardiopulmonary insufficiency in the face of intense oxygen demands of rapidly growing tissues. Broilers with ascites exhibit sustained elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy, the end result of which is heart failure. It has been shown that mitochondrial function is impaired in broile...

This study was planned to determine the effects of sumac juice and different application methods on fattening immune performance broiler chickens. The started with 240 Ross 308 chickens at age 1 day. trial model consisted 6 groups in total, 3*2 interaction model, which three levels were given two ways. Each group arranged contain 4 replications, 10 broilers per replication. Birds supplemented (...
