Two hundred and forty Hubbard Classic broiler chicks were used in a 35 day trial at Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Science University farm, Bangladesh to study the effects of supplemental choline chloride on performance parameters, carcass characteristics and their association in commercial broiler. All birds had free access to ad libitum feeding. Birds were fed four types of diet i.e. diet w...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of olive leaf (OL) on immune response and some blood metabolites of broiler chickens. A total of 400 one-day-old broiler chicks (male and female) were randomly assigned to 5 experimental treatments with 4 replicates of 20 birds each. Birds of different treatments were given diets containing 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1% OL powder from 14 to 4...

The high incidence of meat of impaired quality poses a serious problem in the poultry industry. In recent years, the incidence of the pectoralis major muscle that appeared pale colored, remarkably hardened, and exudative, called "wooden breast" or "woody breast" has increased in slaughter houses. In the present study, 19-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens affected (n = 10) and unaffected (n = 10...

The negative impacts of high stocking density on the commercial poultry industry compromise sustainable birds’ productivity and welfare. Thus, we investigated potential colocynth seed (CC) supplementation in alleviating broilers’ performance, immunity, inflammation, redox status. A total 648 one-day-old male Cobb 500 chicks were recruited distributed into 2 × factorial arrangements. treatment g...

the present study was carried out to examine the effects of satureja khuzistanica essential oils(skeo), on cholesterol content, fatty acids composition, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances,(tbars) concentration of raw breast meat in broiler chickens. a total of 720 one-day-old broilerchicks (cobb 500) were taken as sample to study the effects of six experimental treatments in 6replicate...

The effects of selected herbal dietary supplements on the growth performance and carcass quality of broiler chicken were investigated. Three hundred and eight day-old, male broiler chicks of Indian River strain were randomly allotted to seven experimental diets namely negative control, 0.0125% flavomycin (positive control), 0.1% Moringa leaf powder (MLP), 0.05% Moringa leaf powder, 0.035% Zigbi...

The present study was conducted to assess the effect of paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa) leaf extract (PLE) enriched diets on quality meat and economic efficiency broiler chickens. A total 180 one-day-old male chicks (Cobb) were randomly assigned four treatments with five replications each (9 birds per replicate). chickens fed corn-soybean-based supplemented different levels PLE (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0....
