Athens Canadian Random Bred (ACRB) chickens, a 1955 meat-type control strain, were incubated with the 2013 Cobb 500 broiler to determine differences in egg composition, conductance values, incubation duration, hatch performance, and yolk utilization. Unincubated ACRB eggs had greater percentage solids than Cobb 500 eggs. The ACRB eggs had a greater solid portion as yolk, whereas the Cobb 500 de...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of commercial probiotic mixtures (Liptosafe-L) via drinking water of broiler chickens in comparison with Antibiotic (Newmycin) on performance of Broiler Chicks and growth attributes. 120 broiler chicks (Ross 308) day old, and average weight of 41 grams, were subjected to a 41-day experimental period. The chick's were randomly divided into thre...

An experimental study in 180 day-old broiler chicks was conducted to evaluate efficacy of herbal liver tonic & growth promoter products on overall growth, performance and carcass quality parameters. Day old chicks were randomly divided into three groups, control group I was given no treatment while group II & III were administered herbal liver tonic & growth promoter products Superliv DS & Xliv...

Cadmium is considered one of the most toxic, non biodegradable heavy metal for the human and animals. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the changes in biochemical parameters of blood and accumulation of cadmium in various tissue caused by various levels of dietary cadmium chloride (CdCl2) in broiler chicks. CdCl2 was administered through drinking water to broiler chicks. In sp...

The present study aimed at evaluating the histo-morphological changes resulting from different fasting periods before the collection of tissue samples in different segments of the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) of 7-d-old male chicks of a broiler and a layer strain. A completely randomized experimental design in in a 2x7 factorial arrangement, being two strains with different gro...

A previously unknown disease which has spread among broiler poultry farms in Pakistan, attacks well-growing chicks at 3-5 weeks of age, with 30 to 60% mortality. At necropsy, the most prominent lesion is hydropericardium. Lungs are congested and oedematous, and liver and kidneys are pale and swollen. Histologically, there was necrosis and severe vascular changes in the heart as well as congesti...

The epidemiology of inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) was studied in poultry in northern India, from April 1990 to March 1994, to evaluate the various factors responsible for causing and determining the severity of the disease. Broiler chicks and Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were the species examined. The factor observed to be most commonly associated with IBH was the presence of af...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effect of different levels of triticale with/ without enzyme cocktail (xylanase and β-glucanase) on performance of broiler chicks. five hundred day old male broiler chicks (ross 308), assigned to a factorial arrangement (5×2) with a completely randomized design with 5 replicates of 10 chicks each. the factors included 5 levels of triticale (0...

A feeding trial was conducted to investigate effects of Bacillus licheniformis on growth performance and meat quality of broilers. Nine hundred one-d-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups with three replicate pens of 100 broiler chicks. Three treatments were i) control, ii) basal diets supplemented with 1 ml of B. licheniformis for each in feed water per day iii) ba...
