background: glutamine supplementation to the pre-starter diet of broiler chicks could improve their performance during the first week of post-hatch. objectives: this experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of glutamine levels in the pre-starter diet on intestinal mucosa morphology and performance of broiler chicks. method: a total of 160 ross 308, one-day old broilers were used in a ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of date pits (DP) to reduce the deleterious effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in broiler chicks. A total of 216 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were distributed randomly for nine treatments (with four replicates and six birds in each) for 35 days. The experiment included a 3×3 factorial arrangement of treatments involving three levels of...

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...

One hundred and forty 21-day old Arbor Acres broiler chickens were used in a straight-run experimental design. The broilers were distributed in a completely randomized design among four treatment groups with seven replicates per treatment and five chickens per replicate. During the experiment period (21 to 42 days old), the chickens were fed isocaloric and iso-nitrogenous diets containing four ...

This study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary aspirin (A) on some performance traits in broilers using a completely randomized design, 120 one-day-old male broiler chicks Ross 308, three levels (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg), 4 replicates, each including 10 chicks, during 42 days. The effects different aspirin, added basal diet, performance, carcass characteristics, digestive organs wer...

The present study was aimed at studying the effects of inclusion of pomegranate seed extract to fat-containing diets on nutrients digestibility, intestinal microflora and performance of broilers. A total of 320 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were selected in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 4 replicates o...
