Palm kernel cake (PKC) is the main byproduct from the palm oil industry in several tropical countries that contains considerable amounts of oligosaccharide. We earlier demonstrated beneficial prebiotic effects of oligosaccharides extract of PKC (OligoPKC) in starter and finisher broiler birds. This study was envisaged to elucidate the effects of in ovo and/or oral administration of the OligoPKC...

There is only little information how the age of chicks and the microbial activity in the hind gut of young broilers can affect the digestibility coefficients of amino acids. Ross 308 broilers were kept in battery cages and fed an experimental diet containing N-free components, soybean meal as the only protein source and TiO2 as a marker. Digestibility trials were carried out weekly from the 2 t...

The effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with graded levels morula kernel cake (MKC) on growth performance and haemo-biochemical parameters in broiler chickens were studied. Four isonitrogenous iso-caloric diets formulated by the SBM component at 0, 40, 80 120 g/kg MKC as protein source grower finisher diets. One hundred sixty 2-week-old chicks randomly allocated to treatments, which replica...

Abstract This experiment was conducted in the chickens field of Department Animal Production - College Agricultural Engineering Sciences University Baghdad, for period from 25/2/2022 to 1/4/2022. To study effect partial substitution fermented potato peeling powder instead yellow corn broiler food on productive performance, 231 (Ross 308) chicks were used experiment, distributed randomly seven t...

This study examined the effects of nucleotide supplementation on broiler chick growth performance, immunological response, carcass traits, meat quality, serum biochemical parameters, total antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, mortality rate, and economic efficiency measures chicks. A 180 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308) were distributed into 6 groups, each which consisted 30 chicks, group ...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effects of artichoke on liver function in broiler chicks poisoned with ccl4. a total of 60 (ross, 308) one-d-old broiler chicks were assigned into four treatments, using a completely randomized design. experimental treatments included: 1) control (received control diet), 2) artichoke (control diet supplemented with 3 percent artichoke ...

The purpose of this research to study histological and histochemical characteristics the jejunum in broiler Ross – 308 chicks. A total 120 commercial eggs (Ross-308) were used conduct research, with embryos chicks ranging age from (11,15,21) pre hatch (7,14,21) post ,The samples stained using Hematoxylin-Eosin, Periodic Acids Schiff (PAS), Alcian Blue (AB pH-2.5), Masson’s Trichrom , measure le...

a crd experiment was conducted to study three different soybean meals on experimental qualitative properties, digestibility of protein and performance in broiler chickens for a 42 day period. a total of 195 day-old ross 308 male broiler chickens were randomly distributed to 3 dietary treatments with five replicates of 13 chicks each. to measure digestibility of protein, thirty 15-day-old ross 3...

Bacterial co-infections can probably influence the pathogenicity of H9N2 low pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of exposure time to Escherichia coli (O:2) on the pathogenicity of H9N2 AIV in broiler chickens. Three hundred and sixty broiler chickens were randomly allocated to six equal groups. At the age of 26 days, all chicks except groups 5 and 6 w...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of canola bioactive peptides (CBP) produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of canola meal on performance, digestive enzyme activity, nutrient digestibility, gut microflora and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. A total of 250 one-day-old Ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 5 dietary treatments with 5 replicates of 10 ...
