An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of soybean meal (SBM) particle size on broiler performance, particularly P utilization. This experiment utilized a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design with the following variables: SBM particle size, P level, and diet type, either corn-SBM or semipurified. SBM was obtained from a processing plant before (geometric mean diameter 1,239 microm) and after...

The effects of dietary vitamin E levels on mucosal maltase and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activities and on the amount of mucosal malonyldialdehyde (MDA) in broiler chickens were studied in the present study. One hundred and eighty of day old male broiler chicks (Ross 308 strain) were randomly assigned into five groups, each with three replicates and 12 chicks in each replicate. Chickens...

an experiment was conducted to determine the optimal level of supplemental lysine in a corn-soybean mealcottonseed meal starter diet. three hundred and sixty day-old male chicks (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design (15 birds per each pen). a basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed nrc (1994) recommendations except for lysine. graded levels of supplemental lysine (0, 0.1, 0...

1. The effects of including copra meals from different sources in nutritionally-balanced broiler chick diets were compared. A meal screw press-expelled twice to contain 75 g residual lipid/kg produced a lower growth rate than a meal pressed once to contain 220 g lipid/kg. 2. Chicks fed copra meal at 400 g/kg diet had a higher growth rate on a diet formulated to contain 12.4 g lysine/kg and 8.3 ...

in this study, 480 on-day-old arbor acres broiler chicks were used in a 2*3 factorial arrangment with 2 levels of hull-less barley (0.30%)and 3 levels of enzyme (0.300 and 600g/ton), to investigate the effect of diets containing high soluble non-starch polysaccharides (nsps) concentrations on morphological characteristics of small intestine and performance of broilers. increasing in concentrati...

The objectives of this experiment was to evaluate the subsequent growth and organ weights, blood profiles and cecal microbiota of broiler chicks fed pre-starter diets containing fermented soybean meal products during early phase. A total of nine hundred 1-d-old chicks were randomly assigned into six groups with six replicates of 25 chicks each. The chicks were fed control pre-starter diet with ...
