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. ...

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...

The present study was carried out to examine the effect of supplemental dietary valine in the starter diet of broilers (0-15 d of age) on performance, antibodyresponse to Newcastle disease virus vaccination and bone mineralization. The experiment was conducted using 300 Ross 308 male broilers. One-day-old chicks were randomly allotted to 3 groups; each group consisted of 5 replicate pens with 2...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of portulaca oleracea (po),medicinal plant, on performance, egg traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of laying hens. one hundred eighty hi-line (w-36 strain) mature laying hens 65 up to 76 weeks of age were allotted in a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments and 3 replicates (12 birds per re...

Lysine (Lys) and Methionine (Met) as two primary essential amino acids and precursors of carnitine biosynthesis are involved in most of economical traits function in domestic animals. We assessed the impact of dietary Lys and Met on the performance, lipid redistribution, intramuscular fat, carcass quality and especially phenotypic correlations among some studied parameters in broiler chickens. ...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of medicinal plants, prebiotic and probiotic as alternatives to antibiotics on the growth performance, intestinal morphology and ileal digestibility of nutrients in broilers. a total of 288 one- day-old broiler chicks (cobb 500) were randomly assigned to 6 treatments and 4 replicates with 12 chicks per each replicate in a completely randomiz...

A bio-assay was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation brown seaweed (Sargassum wigetti) on performance broilers. Broilers (400) were divided into 5 treatment groups. Each had 8 replicates with 10 birds per replicate. The chicks control (Group A) fed a basal diet. Group B diet bacitracin methylene disalicylate (BMD) at 0.005%. Treatment Groups C, D, and E received 0.07, 0.1...

A six-week experimental trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels RDDGS in commercial broiler chicken on carcass traits, chemical composition, and fatty acid profile meat. total 144 birds were divided into four treatments three replicates each with 12 fed at inclusion 0% (T1), 5% (T2), 10% (T3) 15% (T4). All rations nearly isocaloric isonitrogenous. One male one fem...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of cottonseed meal (CSM) treated with sodium bentonite (SB) on certain blood components and immune response of laying hens. A 3 × 3 factorial arrangement with 3 levels of SB (0, 10, and 20 g/kg of diet) and 3 levels of CSM (0, 100 and 200 g/kg of diet) were used within 9 dietary treatments of 4 replicates each. Nine mash diets were fed to ...
