a study was conducted to evaluate efficacyof wheat based vs. corn based diets on growth performance, carcass traits,blood parameters, jejunum morphological development, immunity, cecal microflora and excreta moisture in broiler chicks fed according to digestible essential amino acid profile. one hundred forty day old ross 308 male broiler chicks randomly distributed into ten separated floor pen...

effects of chromium nano particles (nanocr) on performance and meat quality of japanese quail under physiological stress was determined by  using 360 birds in a completely randomized design with six treatments, four replicates and 15 birds per each, during  17- 35 d of age. the tratments were negative control (non-stressed), and five groups under physiological stress which fed on diets suppleme...

The effects of raw and sodium hydrogen carbonate-treated oak acorn were evaluated on broiler chicken performance and cecal flora. A total of 340 one-day-old broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five experimental treatments and four replicates with 17 birds each. A corn-based diet served as the control and four treatment groups were diets containing 20 or 25% raw or tr...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of adding ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) and cumin essential oil (CEO) to diets of broiler chicks on the performance, blood parameters, immune response and carcass traits. A total of 240 day-old Ross-308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four treatments with six replicates and 10 birds in each replicate in a completely randomized desi...

the present study was aimed to assess the influence of brown marine algae and vitamin e (ve) (160 ppm α-tocopheryl acetate) on stability of chicken meat enriched with fish oil. in this study, 360 d-old broilers (arbor acres plus) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups with 4 replicates of 15 birds in each. experimental groups consisted of corn-soybean basal diet (c), corn-soybean basal di...

the probiotic effects of two gram positive bacteria, bacillus subtilis and bacillus licheniformis, were examined on growth performance, body composition and survival rate of artemia urmiana. three diets containing 102 (t1), 104 (t2), 106 (t3) cfu of probiotics g feed-1 and a control diet (c) without probiotic were used through a completely randomized design (each with three replicates). the use...

in this experiment 144 hy-line (w36) laying hens, 65 to 77 weeks of age were separated into 4 treatments with 3 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design experiment. the grass clipping wastes incorporated into a complete formulated layer diet, consisting on a corn and soybean based diet, were 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5% in 1 to 4 experimental groups. the results showed that...
