an experiment was conducted to assess the influences of different growth promoters on performance, carcass characteristic and intestinal microflora of broiler. day-old broiler chicks from arian strain (384) were used in the completely randomized experimental design during 7-42 days of age. eight rations were formulated as a follow 1: control (without growth promoters); 2-control + formic acid (...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of extruded linseed on milk production,dry matter intake and reproduction performance of 300 holstein lactating cows (35±15 days in milk;41±9/8 kg/day of milk production). cows were placed in a completely randomized design of 2treatments (concentrate containing 7 percent of extruded linseed vs. control), (150 cows pertreatment). cows were ...

Background & Aim: Medicinal plants is very potential to be used as a supplementary feed as well as feed additive in broilers.This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of milk thistle (MT) and thyme seeds (TS) on the performance in broilers. Experimental: In this study, 160 one-day-old (Ross 308) male broiler chicks were divided randomly into four major groups with 4 replicates b...

fifteen holstein male calves (416 ± 35 kg initial bw; mean ± sd) were employed in a replicated 3 × 3 latin square test to investigate the effect of partial replacement of barley grain by wheat factory sewage (wfs) within three 22-d periods including 16 d of adaptation and 6 d of data collection. the basal diet (wfs0) consisted of 42.5% (dm basis) barley grain, partially replaced with either 23....

Female calves (n = 54) were assigned to 1 of 3 whole milk feeding treatments at an average age of 7 days and remained on treatment for 70 days. The treatments were twice-aday feeding with weaning at 56 days of age (TAD56); once-a-day feeding with weaning at 56 days of age (OAD56); and once-aday feeding with weaning at 42 days of age (OAD42). Calves were housed in groups of 9 and were fed 5 litr...

The effects dietary supplementation with Aloe vera extract (AE) on the immunity responses and hematological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry were evaluated in eight weeks trial. 600 rainbow trout (O. mykiss) fry with an average initial body weight of 13±0.05g were randomly allocated into two treatment groups including placebo-treated group (control) and A. vera extract-trea...

The effects of dietary supplementation of grape seed extract (GSE) and vitamin C on carcass characteristics, gut morphology and ileal microflora in broiler chickens exposed to chronic heat stress were examined. Experimental diets included a control diet (without additive), 3 levels of GSE (150, 300, 450 mg/kg of diet), and vitamin C (300 mg/kg of diet). Each of the five diets was fed to 5 repli...

Four hundred fifty day old unsexed broiler chicks were used in a 35-day trial at Chittagong veterinary and animal sciences university farm to find out the effect of using crude soybean oil sediment (CSOS) as a substitute for refined soybean oil (RSO) in broiler diet. The experiment was carried out following completely randomized design. The chicks were randomly distributed in three treatment gr...
