Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of Pentachlorophenol in Broiler Chickens

Toxicity of Flunixin Meglumine in Broiler Chickens

This study was designed to evaluate the toxicity of flunixin meglumine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug which might serve as an alternate of diclofenac that has been shown to cause toxicity in vultures. Twenty five broiler chickens of five weeks of age were randomly divided into five equal groups and treated with flunixin meglumine at the dosage rate of 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg body w...

Ochratoxicosis in Broiler Chickens:

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of ochratoxin A (OTA) on the function and histology of the liver, kidney and bursa of broiler chickens fed OTA contaminated rations. Two hundred forty one-day-old male Ross broiler chicks were used, they were randomly divided into 3 dietary experimental groups of 80 birds and given rations containing 0 (control), 400 or 800 μg OTA/Kg feed. T...

Comparative Investigation of the Efficacy of Three Different Adsorbents against OTA-Induced Toxicity in Broiler Chickens

The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy of three different adsorbents, inorganic (modified zeolite), organic (esterified glucomannans) and mixed (inorganic and organic components, with the addition of enzymes), in protecting broilers from the toxic effects of ochratoxin A in feed. Broilers were fed diets containing 2 mg/kg of ochratoxin A (OTA) and supplemented with adsorbents at the...
