چکیده

egg ω-3 content for the fl axseed diet (from 546 to 578 mg/60g egg; P=0.02) and for the Linpro diet (from 415 to 438 mg/60g egg; P=0.07). As well, an overall decrease (P=0.01) in ω-6 to ω-3 ratio (from 1.53 to 1.47) was noted. Enzyme addition increased (P=0.02) the NSP digestibility from 17.2 to 24.6%. There was no signifi cant effect of enzyme addition on total tract fat digestibility. Overall, hens fed the Linpro diets had higher (P=0.02) fat digestibility than those fed the fl axseed diets (95.6 vs 89.9%). It could be concluded from this study that both dietary ingredient (i.e., Linpro) and diet processing along with enzyme supplementation had positive effects on feed utilization and the production of ω-3-enriched eggs.

Effect of Calcium and Phosphorus Levels (With and Without Phytase Enzymes) on Liver Enzymes and Blood Parameters in Arian Broiler Chickens

  An experiment was done for studying different levels of Ca & P (with and without Phytaze enzyme) on liver enzymes and blood parameters in Arian broiler chickens. Two hundred eighty eight broiler chicken were used in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 4 replicates with 12 chickens in each floor pen.  Broiler chickens were fed with different levels of Ca and P (with or withou...

Mapping QTL for growth and shank traits in chickens divergently selected for high or low body weight.

An F(2) population (695 individuals) was established from broiler chickens divergently selected for either high (HG) or low (LG) growth, and used to localize QTL for developmental changes in body weight (BW), shank length (SL9) and shank diameter (SD9) at 9 weeks. QTL mapping revealed three genome-wide QTL on chromosomes (GGA) 2, 4 and 26 and three suggestive QTL on GGA 1, 3 and 5. Most of the ...

Adenovirus-like inclusion body hepatitis in a flock of broiler chickens in Kermanshah province, Iran

Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) has been reported in many countries in the world. The IBH or similar cases characterized by hepatitis and presence of intra-nuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes have not been reported in broiler chickens in Iran. This is the first report on outbreak of adenovirus-like inclusion body hepatitis in Iran. On October 2012, an onset of high acute mortality in a flock...

Functional Genomics in Chickens: Development of Integrated-Systems Microarrays for Transcriptional Profiling and Discovery of Regulatory Pathways

The genetic networks that govern the differentiation and growth of major tissues of economic importance in the chicken are largely unknown. Under a functional genomics project, our consortium has generated 30 609 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and developed several chicken DNA microarrays, which represent the Chicken Metabolic/Somatic (10 K) and Neuroendocrine/Reproductive (8 K) Systems (http:/...

Effects of Enalapril on growth Performance, Ascites Mortality, Antioxidant Status and Blood Parameters in Broiler Chickens under Cold-Induced Ascites

Six hundred 1-d-old male broilers (Ross 308) were assigned to four experimental groups; each was composed of 5 floor pen replications of 30 birds including control (no enalapril), 15, 30 and 60 ppm enalapril in the drinking water. From d 21 to 49, all the chicks were exposed to low ambient temperature to induce ascites. Mortalities were inspected to determine the cause of death and diagnose of ...
