In order to investigate the effect of different levels of rapeseed meal on performance and content of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in broiler chickens’ blood, 640 1-d-old Ross male broiler chickens were studied through a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement including 4 levels of rapeseed meal (RSM) (0, 5, 10 and 15 percent) and two levels of enzyme (0 and 0...

This experiment was conducted to compare the effects of prebiotic as alternative feed additive to an antibiotic growth promoter (bacitracin methylene disalicyate) on the growth performance and morphometrical parameters of the small intestine of broiler chickens. One hundred and forty four day old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments for 6 wk and each treatmen...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of0 (control), 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 ml/l of shirazi thyme aqueous extract in drinking water on performance and immune response in broilers. two hundred one- day- old broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to five treatments with four replicates and 10 birds per cage in a completely randomized design. daily feed intake, daily body weight gain and...

this study was investigate the effects of two levels of metabolism energy (me) and length of fattening periods on performance and growth characteristics of chalishtori male lambs. 64 ram lambs were weaning and intake diets with two levels of energy include: 2.5 and 2.3 mcal me/kg dm in 90 and 120 days fattening period. in this study used of completely random designs with 2×2 factorial methods (...

In a 2×2 factorial experiment the hypotheses tested were that the metabolic acid load caused by benzoic acid (BA) added to the feed affects bone mineralization of weanling pigs, and that a wide dietary calcium (Ca) to phosphorus (P) ratio in phytase-supplemented feeds with a marginal P concentration has a positive effect on bone mineralization. The four experimental diets, which contained 0.4% ...
