This research aimed to increase functional value of broiler-chicken meat containing high antioxidant and low cholesterol through substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with Indigofera zollingeriana top leaf meal (ILM). The experiment used 160 day old broiler chicken (Cobb strain). The experimental chicken were provided dietary treatments when they were 15-days old (initial body weight of 460.5±1.56...

The effect of Aspergillus niger hydrolysis on cassava peel meal based diet on the growth performance and nutrient retention of broiler chickens was studied. Delignified cassava peel was used as the carbon source in a composed medium under a pH of 5.0, concentration 3% and 35C to grow Aspergillus niger for five days. The culture filtrate obtained was then used to hydrolyze delignified cassava pe...

Little is known about broiler chicken ranging behaviour. Previous studies have monitored ranging behaviour at flock level but whether individual ranging behaviour varies within a flock is unknown. Using Radio Frequency Identification technology, we tracked 1200 individual ROSS 308 broiler chickens across four mixed sex flocks in two seasons on one commercial farm. Ranging behaviour was tracked ...

Global competition for high standard feed-food resources between man and livestock, such as industrial broilers, is a concerning problem. In addition, the low productivity of scavenger chickens in developing countries leaves much to be desired. Changing the ingredients, and therefore, the nutrient composition of feed intake by commercial fed as well as scavenger chickens seems like an obvious s...

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of several well-categorized Salmonella serotypes recognized globally. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of S Typhimurium strain UPM 260, isolated from a broiler chicken.

the objective of this study was to find a relationship between blood gas parameters and thyroid hormoneactivity with ascites syndrome in broiler chickens exposed to cold temperature and receiving a high qualitydiet. one hundred and sixty one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided in two equal groups. toincrease the incidence of ascites, chicks of group 1 were fed ad libitum with a higher ...

this study was designed to investigate the effects of different levels of tarragon powder on general performance and anetometric, properties of digestive system of male broiler chickens. 200 one-day-old ross 308 male broiler chickens in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replicates per treatment and 10 birds in each replicate were used. experimental diets were set on the bas...
