this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of probiotic supplementation and feed restriction on growth response in broiler chickens. for this purpose, 336 male broiler chickens of ross 308 were used. after housing, broilers allocated to experimental pens in a completely randomized design with factorial 2×3 arrangement. first and second groups considered as positive control group wit...

in this experiment, randomized complete block design with four replications was used for evaluating of the effect of three feeding methods including: without feed restriction (control group), 6 hours feed restriction from 7 to 21 days and 4 hours from 22 to 28 days, 6 hours feed restriction from 7 to 14 days and 4 hours from 15 to 21 days on performance and ascites prevention of arian male broi...

background: finding new tolerable methods in weight loss has largely been an issue of interest for specialists. present study compared a novel method of calorie shifting diet (csd) with classic calorie restriction (cr) on weight loss in overweight and obese subjects. methods: seventy‑four subjects (body mass index ≥25; 37) were randomized to 4 weeks control diet, 6 weeks csd or cr diets, and 4 ...

as the incidence of obesity increases, less invasive weight loss methods rather than bariatric surgery will be needed. this article reviews the advances in endoscopy, results, benefits and side effects of these techniques for treating obesity. the endoscopic options for weight loss could be broadly grouped under the following categories: restriction procedures, malabsorption procedures, and neu...

this experiment was conducted to compare the effects of quantitative feed restriction and meal feeding on the performance, carcass compositions and ascites syndrome in male broiler chickens (ross 308). in this study, 5 schedule feed restrictions include: 1) ad libitum food intake (al group), 2) feeding maintenance energy requirement from 7 to 14 d of age 3) feeding to support 50% of the normal ...

The effect of feed restriction and enzymatic supplementation on intestinal and pancreatic enzyme activities and weight gain was studied in broiler chickens. Quantitative feed restriction was applied to chickens from 7 to 14 d of age. An enzyme complex mainly consisting of protease and amylase was added to the chicken ration from hatching to the end of the experiment. Birds subjected to feed res...

Forty eight 8-month-old male goats were divided into three groups. In each group, eight goats were feedrestricted for 45, 60 or 75 days, and eight goats served as the control. Restricted groups were fed with a maintenance ration, and the control goats were fed with a ration supporting 50 g of daily weight gain. At the end of restriction period, the restricted goats were offered the same ration ...
