in order to study of effects of sodium bicarbonate on lameness occurrence and the performance of feedlot cattle, 100 holstein bull calves (251.75 ± 5.75) were used in a completely randomized design. calves were group fed a similar basal diet during 42 days experimental period. used treatments included 1) control treatment without feed additive, and 2) experimental diet that calves consumed 50 g...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary Euphorbia hirta and an acidifier mixture supplementation on gut morphology and some blood parameters of broiler chickens.A total of 240 day old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one ofthe four dietary treatment groups including: (1) basal diet (control), (2) basal diet + 7.5 g/kg E. hirta (Eh7.5), (3) basal diet + 1.5 g/kg ...

Energy and protein utilization quantitative retention of protein, fat energy was investigated with twelve castrated West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep averaging (23.0 h 2.4 kg BW) in nitrogen balance trials. Dried leaves Leucaena leucocephala were offered as supplement at two levels 25% (diet 2) 50% 3) dry matter intake (DM1), replacing hay the basal diet. The diet without supplementation control. ...

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...

in order to evaluate the effects of chlorella on broiler performance and immune system, an experimentwas performed by using 80 ross 308 male broiler chicks. the experiment was accomplished incompletely randomized design including 5 treatments with 4 replication and 4 observations in eachreplicate. the basal diet was based on corn-soybean meal (control) and without any additives. agraded level o...

ruminal bacteria and protozoa provide excellent organic phosphorus (p) sources for the host animal. this experiment was conducted to compare the bioavailability of bacterial and protozoal p in comparison with that of dicalcium phosphate (dcp) as a reference phosphorus source. bacteria and protozoa were isolated from the rumen contents of dairy cows and the chick-model was used to determine the ...
