application of most antibiotic growth promoters as feed additives has been banned in a lot of countries due to cross-resistance against pathogens and residues in tissues. therefore, scientists are searching for alternatives to antibiotics nowadays. medicinal plant extracts are one of the alternatives that have anti-microbial and growth promoting effect on poultry. in this paper, the benefits of...

The medicinal plants and herbs have been used for many years in the treatment of various diseases in animals and human beings. Now-a-days, utilization of these medicinal plants is increasing. These are used in animal feed as the growth promoters. Due to prohibition of most of the antimicrobial growth promoters in animal feed because of their residual effects, plant extracts are becoming more po...

a 2 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of enzyme endofeed w (eew) at 0 and 0.05%, thyme essential oil (teo), probiotic primalac® (pp) and non-feed additive, on intestinal histomorphology of broilers fed wheat-based diet. each of the 6 dietary treatments was replicated 4 times with 12 chicks each from 0 to 42 days of age. there was no interaction between enzyme and ...

BACKGROUND: Growth promoters are chemical and biologicalsubstances that are added to livestock food with the aimto improve the growth of chickens in fattening and the utilizationof food, and in this way achieve better production and financialresults. OBJECTIVES:An experiment was conducted to evaluatethe effects of enzyme complex, probiotic, and their combinationon performance of broilers fed a ...

Growth promoters have been widely used as a strategy to improve productivity, and great benefits have been observed throughout the meat production chain. However, the prohibition of growth promoters in several countries, as well as consumer rejection, has led industry and the academy to search for alternatives. For decades, the inclusion of phytochemicals in animal feed has been proposed as a r...

Stationary phase is the stage when growth ceases but cells remain metabolically active. Several physical and molecular changes take place during this stage that makes them interesting to explore. The characteristic proteins synthesized in the stationary phase are indispensable as they confer viability to the bacteria. Detailed knowledge of these proteins and the genes synthesizing them is requi...

Cell-specific expression of tissue factor (TF) in vivo is consistent with its primary role in hemostasis. In addition, TF expression is induced in cultured cells by a variety of agents, including serum and growth factors, which define the TF gene as a "primary response" gene. In this study we examined the signaling pathways and cis-acting regulatory elements required for induction of TF gene ex...
