effect of l-carnitine and butyric acid on the performance and immune responses of 192 broiler chickens (ross 308) was investigated with three levels of l-carnitine (zero, 125 and 250 mg/kg) and two levels of butyric acid (2 g/kg) in a 2×3 factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with 6 dietary treatments, four replicates and eight birds per each. broilers fed basal diet p...

a total of 240 ross 308 day-old male broiler chicks within a completely randomized design were used in this experiment to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of turmeric powder and cinnamon powder on performance and some immune responses of broiler chickens. dietary treatments were as follow: a corn-soybean meal basal diet (control); basal diet + 10 ppm avilamycin; basal diet + 2.5 g/kg t...

two experiments were conducted to determine threonine (thr) requirements of two commercial strains, ross 308 and cobb 500, based on standardized ileal digestibility from 15 to 28d of age. basal diet consisted of wheat, triticale, and corn gluten meal was formulated according to quick chick (2006) to be adequate in all nutrients except for thr. incremental levels of supplemental thr were added t...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary salvia mirzayanii supplementation on performance, carcass characteristics, internal organs and cecal microbial population in broilers. a total of 200, one-day-old broiler chicks (ross 308) were fed five experimental diets containing different levels of s. mirzayanii (zero, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and one percent of diet) until 42 days of...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of rapeseed meal and diet formulation based on total and digestible amino acid (aa) using 192 day old ross 308 male broiler chicks. experiment was carried out using a complete block design with 4*2 factorial arrangements. the factors included different levels of rapeseed meal (0, 10, 20 and 30%) and two method of aa form...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feeding of Qizil fattening lambs with different levels of broiler litter (BL) on their weight gain, dry matter intake (DMI), nutrient digestibility, selected blood metabolites and husbandry economics. During an eight-weeks experimental period, 28 male lambs (an average of 42.21 ± 5.63 kg and ages of 7-8 months) were allocated randomly to one of four die...

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...

The nutritional suitability and cost effectiveness of rice polish and mustard oil cake as protein sources in the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were studied. This study introduced rice polish as a plant protein source for Nile tilapia and three diets were formulated using rice polish (0, 10 and 20%) and mustard oil cake (10.0, 17.6 and 22.0%) for a feeding trail of eight weeks to ...
