This study was performed with broiler chickens to evaluate the effects of adding beta-glucanase on bird performances and digestive organs weights. A total of 1600 1-day-old broilers (Arbor Acres) were divided into 2 groups and fed either a control diet (group C) based on corn, wheat and barley or a control diet supplemented with beta-glucanase preparation (Safizym GP 40, Lesaffre Feed Additives...

modern strains of broiler are highly susceptible to heart failure. heart related mortalities are observed predominantly in fast growing broiler chickens. the aim of this study was to investigate serotonin levels in ascitic and non ascitic broilers of three strains (ross, arbor acres plus and cobb). in this respect, a factorial test in crd method applied for the statistical analyses. in each of ...

This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of different concentrations of the dietary plant extract supplement YGF251 (young growth factor) on growth performance, blood profiles, relative organ weight, nutrient digestibility and meat quality in broiler chickens. A total of 640 one-day-old male Arbor Acres broiler chickens with an average initial body weight of 40.25 ± 0.5 g were randomly al...

Problem Statement: The efficacy of Methionine (Met) sparing effect of Betaine (BET) has been shown to be associated with dietary compositions, animal physiological stage and living conditions. This study was to determine the extent to which dietary Met could be replaced by BET in broiler chickens under the feeding conditions specific to Chinese poultry industry.Approach: A total of 900 day-old ...

The effects of water supplementation of bee venom (BV) on performance, antioxidant activity, and liver function in Arbor Acres broiler chickens were investigated. Hence, 3 experimental treatment groups (control, 0.5 mg/L of BV, and 1 mg/L of BV) were allocated to 3 replicates of 5,000 one-day-old chicks each. The control group was kept on tap water, whereas the other 2 groups were supplied wate...

Three hundred (300) 21d old (Arbor-acre) broiler chicks apportioned to five (5) dietary groups of sixty (60) birds each, further replicated six (6) times were fed graded levels toasted pigeon pea seed meal (TPSM) assess the performance, flock uniformity, organ weights, carcass yield and hepatic histology at finisher phase. A maize-full-fat soybean diet served as control (I). The TPSM was incorp...

Animals that are well-managed thrive and produce better than those kept under conditions which do not take full consideration of their behavioural welfare needs. This experiment was conducted with one hundred eighty unsexed day-old Marshall Arbor Acre breeds broiler chickens to investigate the effects housing systems on assessment, bone morphometry faecal egg counts. The birds were brooded for ...

The study was conducted to assess the effect of drinking magnetized water (MW) on offensive odour by poultry droppings from broiler chicken (BC). Poultry in farm normally give around area where is sited. Drinking MW could improve digestibility feed and dryness thereby reducing ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) odour. BCs (Arbor Acres breed) were given MW. magnetic treatment unit comprises ...

This study investigated the effects of feeds naturally contaminated with mycotoxins on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, carcass traits, and splenic heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) mRNA expression levels in broiler chickens. The efficacy of yeast cell wall (YCW) adsorbent in preventing mycotoxicosis was also evaluated. Three hundred 1-d-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were randomly...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of vitamin E and nanoparticle-sized (NVE) in a broiler diet on growth performance, blood profiles, meat quality. A total 45 one-day-old Arbor Acres broilers (initial body weight 37.00 ± 0.41 g) were used this experiment for 28 days. All randomly allocated into three dietary treatments randomized complete block design. The as follows: basal (CON...
