this experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of in yolk-sac administration of olive oil (0 and 0.7 ml) on productive performance and breast development of broiler chickens exposed to post-hatch fasting stress (0, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours). a total number of 800, 1-day-old broiler chicks in a completely randomized block design with 10 treatments and 4 replicates were used. live body...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding mash versus pellet with different thermal process on blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and broiler performance. 192 (one-day) cobb broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with 4 experimental groups (diets) and 4 replicates of ten chicks each (totally 16 pens). the experimental treatment groups consisted of m...

This study investigated the effects of the dietary supplementation of Zizyphus mauritianaleaf meal (ZLM) on the performance of Yankasa lambs. Twenty five lambs aged between 6 and 8 months were randomly divided into five groups of five animals each in a completely randomized design to receive supplementary diets containing 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% ZLM as replacement for cotton seed cake in concentr...

This study evaluated the effects of diets containing 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10% Arthrospir platensis on skin pigmentation, growth performance, and digestive enzymes of (Koi, Cyprinus carpio). A completely randomized experimental design was developed with five treatments and three replicates. One hundred and fifty koi fish with average initial weight of 30±1g were assigned to fifteen experimental ta...

Can a procedure that decides whether a Boolean formula has a satisfying assignment help to find such an assignment? The naïve adaptive “search-todecision” reduction uses a linear number of (quite weak) queries. Is there a lower bound on the number of queries required for a nonadaptive search-to-decision reduction? We report on lower bounds for various classes of queries. Most interesting types ...

In this experiment 144 Hy-line (W36) laying hens, 65 to 77 weeks of age were separated into 4 treatments with 3 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design experiment. The grass clipping wastes incorporated into a complete formulated layer diet, consisting on a corn and soybean based diet, were 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5% in 1 to 4 experimental groups. The results showed that...

A total of 105, 14 weeks old cockerels weighing 1.49 ± 0.023 kg were used to investigate the effects of Vitex doniana leaf meal (VDLM) on performance, haematological and serum biochemical parameters in cockerels over a seven-week experimental trials. The cockerels were divided into three (3) treatment groups of 0%, 5% and 10% inclusion levels of VDLM in a completely randomized design layout. Th...
