A 2 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of enzyme Endofeed W (EEW) at 0 and 0.05%, thyme essential oil (TEO), probiotic Primalac® (PP) and non-feed additive, on intestinal histomorphology of broilers fed wheat-based diet. Each of the 6 dietary treatments was replicated 4 times with 12 chicks each from 0 to 42 days of age. There was no interaction between enzyme and ...

background: nutritional strategies targeting improvement of poultry performance and disease prevention are currently being developed and in this respect the dietary intake of spiced essential oils and pre-biotics in raising broilers is receiving attention. objectives: this study was conducted to compare the effects of diet containing ginger essential oils (geo) and mannan-oligosaccharide (mos) ...

In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (Improved Milbond-TX, IMTX) to alleviate the toxic effects of aflatoxin (AF) B1 in chicks. In vitro results indicated that IMTX was able to bind 100% of AFB1 at pH 3 to 9. In the in vivo study, five pen replicates of six chicks were assigned to each of four dietary treatments, which...

The objectives of the current study were to 1) determine whether a fish-meal-supplemented diet fed to ewes during late gestation and early lactation would increase the proportion of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) in colostrum and milk and 2) examine the subsequent effect on the plasma fatty acid profile of nursing lambs. Eight gestating ewes (Rideau-Arcott; 97 +/- 5 kg of initial BW; 100 d of g...

The study evaluated the effects of Levamisole, Quil-A and Cinnamon on growth, hematological and immune parameters of marmalade cichlid. Fish (2.00 ± 0.02 g) were fed diets supplemented with 0.2% Levamisole, 0.5% Quil-A and 1% Cinnamon for 60 days and the control group was fed with basal diet. The highest weight gain and condition factor were observed in fish fed diet enriched with Levami...

introduction antibiotic feed additives have long been used as growth promoters in poultry nutrition. however, concern has been expressed about the potential development of antibiotic resistant bacteria (25). consequently, the animal feed industry, exposed to increasing consumer pressure to reduce the use of antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diets, has to find alternative feed additives. ma...

A floor pen study was conducted to determine the efficacy of vitamin D source and level on performance and bone mineralization of broilers fed dietary treatments for six weeks. Dietary treatments included: 1) Basal diet supplemented with NRC recommended levels of vitamin D3 (200,000 ICU/ton); 2) Basal plus 2.5 million ICU (MICU) D3 /ton; 3) basal plus 2.5 MICU D3/ton plus 62.5 mg Hy-D/ton; 4) b...
