a 42-d trial was conducted to compare the effects of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplements on growth performance, morphology of the jejunum, serum lipid profile and antibody response of broiler chickens. a total of 400 one-d-old male broiler chicks were randomly divided into four treatment groups of four replicates (25 birds per replicate) and fed corn-soybean meal diets. the dietary t...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of bacillus subtilis and licheni formis on broiler breeder performance and gastrointestinal health of their progenies. a total of 336 broiler breeder hens (cobb 500) from 22 to 32 weeks of age were used in a completely randomized design of 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with four treatments, each with seven replicates. dietary treatments included:...

to study the anticoccidial and antioxidant effects of garlic powder (gp) and total sulfur amino acid (tsaa) on growth performance, faecal oocyst output, oxidative stress indicators and antioxidant status markers in broiler chickens, a 2 × 2 × 2 splitplot-factorial arrangement of treatments was used. a total of 480-day-old male broiler chickens were equally assigned to two plots. two hundred for...

this experiment was conducted in order to determine the effects of different dietary growth promoters on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in male broiler chickens. a total of 360 male broiler chicks (day-old ross 308 strain) were distributed into a completely randomized design (crd) having 6 dietary treatments with four replicates and 15 birds in each replicate. experimental treatm...

in order to evaluate the effects of chlorella on broiler performance and immune system, an experimentwas performed by using 80 ross 308 male broiler chicks. the experiment was accomplished incompletely randomized design including 5 treatments with 4 replication and 4 observations in eachreplicate. the basal diet was based on corn-soybean meal (control) and without any additives. agraded level o...

ruminal bacteria and protozoa provide excellent organic phosphorus (p) sources for the host animal. this experiment was conducted to compare the bioavailability of bacterial and protozoal p in comparison with that of dicalcium phosphate (dcp) as a reference phosphorus source. bacteria and protozoa were isolated from the rumen contents of dairy cows and the chick-model was used to determine the ...
