The present study evaluated effects of 0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% L-threonine in diet on performance and gastrointestinal tract development in broiler chickens during summer. From 0 to 42 days old, body weight gain was greater in 0.75% L-threonine fed birds than in 0.0% and 0.5% L-threonine fed birds (P0.05). During the growth period, 0.75% L-threonine fed birds had the highest body weight gain...

population management of exploited species requires information on absolute density and abundance through reliable survey methods. the baseline information is further needed for population dynamics studies and determination of conservation status. the current population size of pheasant is totally unknown, because there is no official attempt to estimate population size in previous years. in th...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of olive leaf (ol) on immune response and some blood metabolites of broiler chickens. a total of 400 one-day-old broiler chicks (male and female) were randomly assigned to 5 experimental treatments with 4 replicates of 20 birds each. birds of different treatments were given diets containing 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1% ol powder from 14 to 4...

A 42 days experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of dried Centella asiatica leaf meal (CSP) as an herbal feed additive on the growth performance, haematology and serum biochemistry of broiler chicken. A total of 200 Ross 308 day old broiler chicks of mixed sex was divided into four (4) treatment groups of fifty (50) birds, each group was further divided into five replicates each of ...

the effect of genotype, sex and hatch on carcass traits and physical characteristics of eggs was investigated in the japanese quail. two strains of japanese quails including the white (p1) and wild (p2) genotypes were chosen as the parental generation and crossed reciprocally (10 single-pair mating) to create the f1 progeny. the f1 birds (27 males and 81 females) were mated randomly to produce ...

The current study was conducted to identify the quantitative trait locus (QTL) for the body weight at age 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days and daily gain at age 0-1, 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 weeks, slighter carcass weight and tonic immobility in Japanese quail. Two divergently lines of wild and white Japanese quail which maintained in the Animal Science Research Center of the Shahid Bahonar University of Kerma...
