A nine (9) weeks feeding trial was conducted on seventy two (72) day-old Indigenous turkey poults raised deep litter to determine their growth performance, carcass and economic characteristics when fed three dietary treatments (T1, T2, T3, containing 0%, 25% 50% replacement of maize with millet respectively. The birds were divided into replicates 8 per replicate; making a total 24 treatment. At...

A feeding trial was carried out to investigate the effects of lecithin on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, lipid profile, carcass characteristics and meat quality of broiler chickens. A total of 240 oneday- old male broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were obtained from a local hatchery and raised for 42 days. The chicks were divided into 5 dietary treatments. The diets supplemented with prill...

A total 72 18 weeks old, were used, it randomly distributed four treatments 3 replicates ( 6 each rep...

this study was performed to investigate the effects of antibiotic, organic acid, probiotic and prebiotic supplementation on performance, egg shell quality, ph value of gastrointestinal (gi) tract and small intestinal morphology of laying hens. the experiment was a completely randomized design with 160 laying hens strain (w-36) from 32 to 42 weeks of age, with five treatments, four replicates an...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 3 rearing systems ( FL : flooring litter rearing, MC multilayer cage PN plastic net rearing) with or without supplemental narasin on growth performance, gastrointestine development and health broilers. A total 2,400 one-day-old Ross 308 mixed-sex broilers (1:1 ratio males females) were used in a completely randomized design utilizing × 2 facto...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of supplemented curcumin (cmn), derived from plant curcuma longa, extract on performance and blood parameters of acetaminophen (act) induced quail hepatic injury. 240 quails from 0-37 days of age were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments of 4 replicates each and 15 chickens per replicate. all groups received 750 mg/kg body we...

This study determined the effect of feeding trough shapes on growth performance, carcass characteristics and cost benefit analysis 180 broiler chickens two strains (90 birds each Marshal Hubbard strains) subjected to circular, rectangular square-shaped 2 troughs with a surface area 900 cm each. The chicks were brooded for weeks thereafter allotted into six treatment groups 30 each, consisting 3...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary soy isoflavones (isfs) on growth performance, blood parameters and tibia ca and p content of broiler chickens. a total of 240 as-hatched day-old ross 308 chicks were used in a completely randomize design with four treatments (0 (control), 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg of isf), three replicates and 20 birds per each replicate for a period of 4...

two experiments were conducted to determine lysine (lys) requirements of two commercial strains, ross 308 and cobb 500, from 15 to 28d of age. basal diet was formulated to be adequate in all nutrients except for lys. incremental levels of supplemental lys were added to the basal diet generating six experimental treatments in a range from 0.60 to 1.20% digestible lys. birds were randomized acros...

Two studies were conducted to evaluate the nutritional effects of supplementary ascorbic acid (AA) at levels 0, 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg in diets growing pullets reared different seasons (dry season rainy season).240 eight weeks-old Harco pullet chicks used each trial, they randomly assigned four dietary treatments three replications twenty per replicate. Each trial lasted 12 weeks (84 days) dur...
