This article is the first in a series of manuscripts to evaluate nutritional rehabilitation in chickens as a model to study interventions in children malnutrition (Part 1: Performance, Bone Mineralization, and Intestinal Morphometric Analysis). Inclusion of rye in poultry diets induces a nutritional deficit that leads to increased bacterial translocation, intestinal viscosity, and decreased bon...

The role of histamine in the regulation of food and water intake in mammals and birds of the review, this study evaluated the effects of intraperitoneal administration of famotidine as histamine H2 -receptor antagonist, in broiler chicks on feed intake and satiety in water and was hungry. 32 male Ross broiler chicks reared in groups of four weeks, 16 samples (control and test ) were then inject...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feed withdrawal (F) and heat acclimatization (A) on malebroiler and -layer chickens responses to acute heat stress (AHS) at four weeks of age. Totals of ninety male chicks of broiler or layer type were randomly allocated into 30 pens of grower batteries with raised wire floors. Chicks were subjected to F and A three times a week through th...

Climate change and associated shifts in marine prey communities can alter food availability for foraging seabirds. This issue is illustrated the Gulf of Maine by northward shift Atlantic butterfish (Peprilus triacanthus; hereafter butterfish) their subsequent increase seabird diets. Here, we examine effects diets Common Tern (Sterna hirundo), a threatened species this region. ...

In this study, the carcass and commercial cuts weights and yields in broilers of different ages fed diets supplemented with probiotics were determined. A total of 336 male broiler chicks (Ross-308) were randomly allocated into three treatment groups (P0, P1 and P2). A basal diet (P0), basal diet plus 0.01% (P1) and 0.02% (P2) probiotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 4x10 8 cfu g -1 ) were offered t...

background: to control avian coccidiosis with drug-independent strategy effec-tively and safely, multivalent hyperimmune egg yolk immunoglobulin (igy) was prepared and its ability to protect against eimeria tenella infection was evaluated. methods: hens were orally immunized with live oocysts of 5 species of eimeria for six times, antibody titers in serum and yolk were monitored by indirect enz...

Three hundred one-day-old male broilers (Ross 308) were allocated to five treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design. Treatments supplemented with 0 (control), 400, 800, 1200 or 1600 ppb chromium in the form of chromium chloride. All birds were intramuscularly immunized with killed vaccine of Newcastle and Avian Influenza (H9 N2) virus at 8 d. On days 18 and 28 blood samp...
