an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of early feed restriction on performance and serum thyroxin concentration of broiler chicks. the experiment was designed in a 2×2 factorial with 5 replicates of floor pens with 12 male or female chicks in each. 240 male and/or female day-old chicks of a commercial strain (hybrow) were wing banded, weighed and randomly allocated to two treatment...

in this study, effect early age feed restriction and thermal conditioning on growth ,carcass characteristics broiler chickens subjected to heat stress was evaluated. three hundred chicks (cobb500) were randomly divided into four equal groups as treatments including thermal conditioning group (tc), feed restriction-thermal conditioning group (tcfr), feed restriction group (fr) and control group ...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the oral consumption of guggulplant resin on the performance and humoral immunity response of broiler chicks. for doing this experiment, 320 one-day old chicks of the cobb 500 strains, in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates were used. experimental diets include: control diet (without the guggul), control die...

This study was conducted to determine whether early age feed restriction improves heat tolerance in female broiler chickens. Chicks were brooded for 3 wk and then maintained at 24+/-1 C. On Day 0, chicks were assigned to one of four feeding regimens; each regimen was applied to four cages of chicks. The feeding regimens were 1) ad libitum feeding (ALF); 2) 40% feed restriction at 4, 5, and 6 d ...

this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels guar meal and β-mannanase on broilers male chicken. in this experiment , four hundred ross day old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to a 4×2 factorial design to feed broiler chickens diets containing guar meal at 4 level of guar meal (0, 3, 6 and 9%) with five replications of each treatment with or without β-mannana...
