A large number of papers have explored the use phytobiotics in diet farm animals and poultry recent years. This study area is much addressed, since vegetable feed additives can be an alternative to antibiotics. They a pronounced growth-stimulating immune-modulating effect on body young birds, are essential for manufacturing organic products animal origin. The aim our was evaluate water-ethanol ...

Background & Aim: This experiment was conducted to examine the effect of different levels of Echinacea purpurea (EP) in comparison with an antibiotic (flavofosfolipol) on total antioxidant activity (AOA) in serum of broiler chicks. Experimental: In this trial 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were weighed and randomly assigned to the 5 treatment groups, each with 4 re...

The Fusarium mycotoxin enniatin B (ENN B) is a so-called emerging mycotoxin frequently contaminating poultry feed. To investigate the impact of chronic ENN B exposure on animal health, broiler chickens were fed either a diet naturally contaminated with ENN B (2352 µg/kg) or a control diet (135 µg/kg) for 2, 7, 14, or 21 days. ENN B concentrations were determined in plasma and liver using a vali...

a comparative study was conducted with layer hens either intact, or cecectomized or cannulated in the ileum or colon to determine the amino acid digestibility of the same diet. The studies used shaver star Cross 288 layer hybrids, with 6 birds per each test method, in 2 replicates (n=12). Birds were placed in metabolic cages during the studies. nutrient content of the trial diets followed the n...

This study was carried out to determine the influence of vit. E with selenium, poultry star, levamezol and acetic acid on immune response to infections bursal disease in broiler fed diet with aflatoxin-contaminated aflatoxin poisons. 200 one-day old chicks were divided randomly into six equal groups, All groups (except 6 group) were fed diet with aflatoxincontaminated feed (from 1 to 40 days ol...

Phosphorus (P) is a macro mineral in broiler nutrition. In growing broilers, besides its requirement for proper bone development, it is also involved in almost all metabolic processes. Poor P availability results in decreased productivity and poor health status.Phosphorus availability from plant derived feeds is affected by an anti-nutritional factor “phytate”, which forms a variety of insolubl...

A total of 360 1-d-old broiler chickens were fed on a diet based on rye and wheat in equal proportions without or with supplementation of increasing levels (0.11, 0.22, 0.44 and 0.88 g/kg) of a technical enzyme preparation containing pentosanase and beta-glucanase activities. In vitro investigations revealed that the enzyme preparation solubilized pentosans, increasing the relative viscosity of...
