Background: Hypothyroidism is a decrease in the production of thyroid hormones and leads to gland dysfunction. Ashwagandha extract was used as an ayurvedic treatment supposed be antihypothyroidism agent. Objectives: investigate impact ashwagandha (Ash) on propylthiouracil (PTU)-induced hypothyroidism rats. Subjects Methods: The rats were divided into three groups, control group, PTU (hypothyroi...

Copper sulfate is often added to broiler and laying hen diets at prophylactic dosages due to its antimicrobial and growth promoting effects despite reduced P digestibility, whereas P use from other Cu sources is unknown. Therefore, male broiler chicks were fed diets containing 0 or 250 ppm Cu from Cu sulfate (Cu SUL), Cu citrate (Cu CIT), Cu lysinate (Cu LYS), or CuCl from 9 to 22 d of age (8 c...

A twenty-eight day floor pen experiment was carried out using 1680 Cobb-500 male day old chicks to evaluate the impact of feeding different particle sizes of calcium carbonate (CaCO ) on broiler performance 3 and tibia ash. The experiment consisted of 8 treatments with 6 replications per treatment to test 8 different CaCO particle sizes. The corn-soybean meal based diets contained 21.5% CP, 302...

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of two kinds of sodium and calcium bentonite (NaB and CaB) on performance, blood biochemical parameters, carcass characteristics and tibia ash of broiler chickens. Two hundred and sixty day old broilers of male Ross 308 strain were allocated to 5 treatments with four replicatates and 13 broilers in each. The experiment was carried out in a comp...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing dietary limestone with mashhad power plant calcium-waste in combination with available phosphorus level on growth performance, tibial strength and blood alkaline phosphatase activity in broiler chickens. three hundred and eighty four male broiler chickens were used in a complete randomized design experiment with a 4×2 factorial arr...

The effects of age vs. diet, potassium level, tetramethylthiuram disulfide (thiuram), and ionophores in the diet on the development of tibial dyschondroplasia in broilers was investigated. Changing broiler chicks from a diet that induced tibial dyschondroplasia to one that reduced the disease or vice versa caused a change in the incidence in the direction of the last-fed diet; however, in most ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of diet supplementation with propolis and bee pollen on selected physical, biomechanical and chemical properties of tibial bones in broiler chickens. The experimental materials comprised 384 Ross 308 chickens (four groups, three replications), divided into groups of males and females, and raised to 35 days of age. Control group 1 birds wer...

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of Quantum Blue phytase on P utilisation and bone parameter in laying hens fed barley, oat and soybean meal based diets. Over a period of 40 days 64 laying hens (from 29 weeks of age) were distributed to 4 treatments (8 cages, two birds each). Experimental diets with no inorganic P added were supplemented with 0, 150, 300 or 1200 FTU phytas...
