six hundred day old unsexed broiler chicks were used in a 42-d trial at chittagong veterinary and animal sciences university poultry farm to find out the effects of different oils on productive performance of broilers. the chicks were randomly distributed following a completely randomized design in four treatment groups having three replications per treatment. each treatment had 150 birds, with...

introduction under commercial conditions broiler are feed restricted during rearing to limit growth rate. this quantitative restriction of feed intake aims at avoiding rapid growth and high body weights, which are associated with pathological conditions, such as ascites, lameness, and mortality. feed restriction (fr) in breeder layer hens was rarely and fr used for poor reproductive results and...

This experiment was conducted to measure the effects of olive leaf powder on performance, egg yield, egg quality and yolk cholesterol level of laying hens. A total of 120 Lohmann Brown laying hens of 22 weeks old were used in this experiment. The birds were fed on standard layer diets containing 0, 1%, 2%, or 3% olive leaf powder for 8 weeks. Egg weight and yield were recorded daily; feed intak...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effects of different levels of canola meal eithr with or without phytase addition on laying hen's performance. a number of 288 layer hens (the strains of hy-line w36) at the 60th week of age, selected as based on the same egg production percentage and body weight were, assigned to a factorial arrangement with a completely randomized desi...

In this paper a nonparametric neural network (NN) technique for prediction of future values of a signal based on its past history is presented. This approach bypasses modeling, identification, and parameter estimation phases that are required by conventional parametric techniques. A multi-layer feed forward NN is employed. It develops an internal model of the signal through a training operation...

Mycotoxins affect poultry production by being present in the feed and directly causing a negative impact on bird performance. Carry-over rates of mycotoxins in animal products are, in general, small (except for aflatoxins in milk and eggs) therefore representing a small source of mycotoxins for humans. Mycotoxins present directly in human food represent a much higher risk. The contamination of ...

We present a simple LSTM-based transition-based dependency parser. Our model is composed of a single LSTM hidden layer replacing the hidden layer in the usual feed-forward network architecture. We also propose a new initialization method that uses the pre-trained weights from a feed-forward neural network to initialize our LSTM-based model. We also show that using dropout on the input layer has...
