Body Weight and Food Intake of Broiler and Leghorn Chicks
Age of market weight of broilers has been continuously reduced by approximately one day per generation during the past 40 50 years due to an average increase of 50 g/year of body weight at 42 days of age (Gyles, 1989). Although non-genetic factors such as improved feeding and management contributed to this growth rate increase, genotypic selection for growth seems to be the major cause (Chamber...
متن کاملCampylobacter jejuni strains compete for colonization in broiler chicks.
Campylobacter jejuni isolates possess multiple adhesive proteins termed adhesins, which promote the organism's attachment to epithelial cells. Based on the proposal that one or more adhesins are shared among C. jejuni isolates, we hypothesized that C. jejuni strains would compete for intestinal and cecal colonization in broiler chicks. To test this hypothesis, we selected two C. jejuni strains ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Sodium Humate and Aflatoxin B1 on Body Weight of Broiler Chicks
The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effect of dietary natural sorbent-sodium humate (HuNa) on the prevention of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) toxicity in the broiler chicken. Seventy-two (72) broiler hybrid Hybro birds were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (G1) and 3 experimental groups (G2-G4) with addition of HuNa (G2); only AFB1 (G3) and HuNa; and AFB1 (G4). HuNa...
متن کاملBacteria Isolations from Broiler and Layer Chicks in Zambia
Chick mortality (CM) is one of the major constraints to the expansion of the poultry industry in Zambia. Of the 2,829 avian disease cases submitted to the national diagnostic laboratory based at the Central Veterinary Research Institute in Lusaka between 1995 and 2007, 34.39% (973/2,829) were from CM cases. The disease accounted for 40.2% (218,787/544,903) mortality in the affected flocks with ...
متن کاملUsing Progressive Phytase Regimens for Broiler Performance and Yields
Phytase is traditionally supplemented into broiler diets between 300 and 600 phytase units (FTU)/kg. This supplementation releases phosphorus (P) from phytate in feed ingredients. The obvious benefit is the increase in available nutrients. Another benefit, when phytase is added to corn-soybean meal based diets, the production costs are reduced, leg abnormalities are minimized and bird growth ma...
