We investigated the effects of a wheat-based diet (WBD) supplemented with different levels of zinc on the performance, intestinal viscosity, immune system and lipid peroxidation of broiler chickens. A total of 240 Ross 308 day-old male broiler chicks were weighed and assigned to six dietary treatments with four replicates (floor pens) of ten birds per pen. Dietary treatments consisted of a WBD ...

objective: epididymo-orchitis (eo) potentially results in reduced fertility in up to 60% of affected patients. the anti-inflammatory effects of korean red ginseng (krg) and its ability to act as an immunoenhancer in parallel with the beneficial effects of this ancient herbal medicine on the reproductive systems of animals and humans led us to evaluate its protective effects against acute eo. ma...

The relationships ofrelative weight to energy intake and to physical activity were studied among 141 females aged 34-59 y. As observed in previous studies Quetelet index (wt/ht2) was inversely related to energy intake (r = -0. 1 1). However, obese women tended to be older (r = 0.16), exercise less (r = -0.30), and drink less alcohol (r = -0. 16) than nonobese women. Older women had lower energy...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of raw and differently processed [aqueous heating, dehulled, and dry heating (toasted)] kidney bean meals on the performance, weights, and histology of internal organs of broiler chicken. The feeding trial lasted for 56 d. Two hundred twenty-five 1-d-old broiler chicks (Anak strain) were used for the study. There were 5 treatment ...

The present study was performed to investigate the effect of partially replacing of corn by broken rice (BR) and sugar beet pulp (SBP) in the diet on growth performance and carcass traits of growing Japanese quails. A total number of 324 unsexed one week old Japanese quail chicks fed on diets replacing 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15% of corn by BR and SBP mixture (1:1) to study their effect on Japanese ...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility of improvingproductive performance and immunity of growing japanese quailreared during summer in egypt by supplementing the diets with organic zinc (bioplex zinc) and prebiotic (mannan oligosaccharides). diets were a basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 20 mg bioplex zinc (3.0 mg zn) (zn1), 40 mg bioplex zinc (6.0 mg zn) ...

Abstract This study was conducted to find out the effect of floor type on growth, some physiological characteristics and welfare standards for broilers. 120 unsexed one-day-old ROSS 308 broiler chicks were used. The included two groups with three replicates (20 birds each replicate). first treatment, raised Rice husks litter, second treatment a wire floor, 15 cm high. Feed water provided freely...
