The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of synthetic lysine (sLys) on dry matter intake (DMI), average daily weight gain (ADG), dry matter conversion ratio (DMCR), carcass characteristics and economics of productionof finisher broiler chicks. As 240 day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed to 12 pens of 20 chicks each and assigned to four treatment rations in ...

It is well documented that aging has negative effects on fertility. With increasing age, the activity of antioxidant enzymes are reduced and because of roosters sperm composition, a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), the probability of sperm damage increases. The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of nano-selenium and sodium selenite on fertility in a...

Probiotics can improve growth, survival and resistance to pathogenic organisms of the cultivated species in aquaculture systems with water recirculation. However, their possible benefits on biofloc systems have been less studied. In this study, the benefits of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens bacterium, on a biofloc culture of Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. B. amyloliquefaciens was applied as d...

Biofloc culture system is an eco-friendly method, because it limits the water usage and effluent discharge to surrounding environment. The present study aimed investigate immune potential, growth, survival of Indian white shrimp Penaeus indicus, post larvae in biofloc technology (BFT) with C:N ratio 15:1 during nursery phase different salinities (5‰, 15‰, 25‰, 30‰, 35‰). Experiments were conduc...

Commercial broiler chicks were given a three-strain composite of bacitracin-resistant Clostridium perfringens by oral gavage and were sampled periodically to determine the dynamics of C. perfringens colonization of the intestinal tract of broiler chickens and fecal shedding. After gavage, the chicks were divided into two groups and placed in isolators, one group received a traditional corn-base...

One alternative to increase production is maximize the use of biofloc system cultivation technology. However, problems in are; difficulty cultivators replace or alternatively commercial bacteria production. efforts made bacillus sp. The aim study was determine optimal concentration sp that could growth saline tilapia. This used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments, each rep...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two levels of four commercial multi-enzymes on the apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (amen) and digestibility of crude fat, crude protein, dry matter, and organic matter in broiler chickens through total excreta collection method. one hundred thirty male broiler chicks were assigned to 45 metabolic cages involving 9 tre...

Whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the most commercially farmed species worldwide because of its fast growth, good survival rate at high farming densities, and osmoregulatory capacity, which makes it an excellent candidate for cultures at different salinities. The knowledge of shrimp nutritional requirements is critical in the formulation of diets to allow optimal growth at differe...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate and compare antibiotic, organic acid, probiotic and prebiotic effects on performance, egg quality and blood metabolites in commercial laying hens. the experiment was a completely randomized design with 160 laying hens strain hy line (w-36) from 32 to 42 weeks of age with 5 treatments and 4 replicates of 8 hens each. the experimental treatments consisted...
