Electrolytes Supplementation through Drinking Water to Revive Broiler Production during Tropical Summer Stresses Management
Authors
Abstract:
This experiment was carried out for a period of 4 weeks with 240 day old straight- run broiler (Cobb-500) chicks to investigate the effects of administering electrolytes in drinking water on the productive performance (live weight, body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion and water consumption) and to determine the economic impact of using electrolytes. The chicks were randomly distributed into three different treatments: control (without electrolyte supplementation), continually supplemented electrolyte group and intermittently supplemented electrolyte group (when temperature rose to 30 ˚C or above). Statistically significant (P

full textEffects of honeybee venom supplementation in drinking water on growth performance of broiler chickens.
The effects of water supplementation of bee venom (BV) on performance, antioxidant activity, and liver function in Arbor Acres broiler chickens were investigated. Hence, 3 experimental treatment groups (control, 0.5 mg/L of BV, and 1 mg/L of BV) were allocated to 3 replicates of 5,000 one-day-old chicks each. The control group was kept on tap water, whereas the other 2 groups were supplied wate...
full textSupplementation of Vitamin E and C Reduces Oxidative Stress in Broiler Breeder Hens during Summer
The present experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of vitamin E and C supplementation on the antioxidant status of broiler breeder hens during summer. Two hundred seventy broiler breeder birds (coloured) were divided into nine groups with three replicates having 10 birds in each, and were supplemented two levels of antioxidant vitamins E (250 mg or 500 mg/kg) or C (200 mg or 400 mg/...
full textImpacts of Dietary L-Threonine Supplementation on Performance and Intestinal Morphology of Broiler Chickens during Summer Time
The present study evaluated effects of 0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% L-threonine in diet on performance and gastrointestinal tract development in broiler chickens during summer. From 0 to 42 days old, body weight gain was greater in 0.75% L-threonine fed birds than in 0.0% and 0.5% L-threonine fed birds (P0.05). During the growth period, 0.75% L-threonine fed birds had the highest body weight gain...
full textEffect of protein supplementation on tropical grass hay utilization by beef steers drinking saline water.
An experiment was conducted to assess the impact of increasing levels of supplemental soybean meal (SBM; 45.7% CP) in cattle consuming tropical grass hay (Panicum maximum cultivar Gatton; 7.0% CP and 81.8% NDF) and drinking low salt water (LS) or high salt water (HS). Six ruminally fistulated beef steers (BW = 375 ± 43 kg) were used in a 6-treatment, 4-period crossover experiment. Treatments we...
full textInfluence of Saturejahortensis L. essential oil in drinking water on broiler production and some blood biochemical parameters
This study was conducted to assay the use of Saturejahortensis L. (savory) essential oil in the drinking water on broiler production and blood glucose, uric acid, creatinin and cholesterol. Four hundred and twenty day old broiler chickens (Ross 308) was used in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 5 replicate. Experimental treatments included: 1) control, 2) Tween (a solvent for...
