a 3 × 2 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of thymol + carvacrol (0, 100 and 200 mg/kg) on ileal microbial population and jejuna and ileal histomorphology of broilers fed carboxy methyl cellulose (cmc: 0 and 2%) containing diet. each of the 6 dietary treatments was replicated 5 times with 12 chicks each from 0 to 42 days of age. there was no interaction effect of cmc a...

The effects of a dietary alpha-linolenic acid (18:3 n-3) deficiency on lipid fatty acid composition of the liver and serum of lactating rats have been studied during three gestations and over three generations. These females were compared to corresponding females which remained sterile. Two lots of female rats received, respectively, a diet containing lipids either in the form of 1.50 g of sunf...

Turkey breast meat patties, prepared from the turkeys fed diets containing 0, 50, 100, or 200 IU of dl-α-tocopheryl acetate (TA) per kg diet from 84 to 112 days of age, were aerobically packaged and irradiated at 0, 1.5, or 2.5 kGy. When dietary TA was increased from 0 to 200 IU/kg diet, plasma and muscle vitamin E levels increased by 5- and 4-fold, respectively. Dietary TA at 100 IU/kg diet si...

Objective. This study was aimed to determine the effect of Anethum graveolens extract and Anethum graveolens (dill) tablet on lipid profile, liver enzymes, and gene expression and enzymatic activity of HMG-CoA reductase in high cholesterol fed hamsters. Materials and Methods. Golden Syrian male hamsters (130 ± 10 g) were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 6) and received daily the following: g...

this research project was conducted to evaluate bioavailability and chemical properties of different zinc sources in broiler chickens when fed by practical diets. for that, 312 day-old male ross 308 broiler chicks were fed from 8-28 day to estimate the biological availability of four zinc sources. chicks were allocated randomly to 13 experimental diets in a 3 × 4 factorial design. diets include...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract In this study dietary boron at different doses (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg feed) was supplemented to layers from 4 to 64 weeks of age. There was no significant difference between treatments with respect of mortality, egg production, egg weight, egg mass and cracked eggs. Significant increases were observ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different lipid sources and organic zinc supplementation on performance, egg bacterial activity and ovary morphology of laying hens for 10 weeks. with 288 sixty weeks old birds by employing a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement of 3×4 with 12 treatments, 4 replicates and 6 hens each. the factors of interest were 4% lipi...

Objective(s): Atherosclerosis is the main leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential preventive effect of egg yolk HDL on the atherosclerosis plaque formation. Materials and Methods: Thirty rabbits were divided into five groups: A; normal diet, B; hyper-cholesterolemic diet, C; hypercholesterolemic + 400 mg/kg egg yolk HDL D; hypercholesterol...
