SUMMARY Diagnostic residual and partial residual plots are proposed to identify nonlinearity in covariates for generalized linear models. It is shown that these plots are complement each other in the detection of nonlinearity. In addition, a transformed additive model which allows the resulting residual and partial residual plots to be obtained through the standard least squares approach is pro...

Response of Nigerian indigenous (local) and broiler chickens to experimental Eimeria infections was investigated by measures of clinical signs, packed cell volume (PCV), body weights (BW), feed consumption, faecal oocyst counts (oocyst per gram), and microscopic intestinal lesions. Three-week-old chickens of each breed received single pulse infections with 2500, 5000, and 100.000 sporulated Eim...

In the present study, inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) was experimentally induced by oral inoculation of two groups of specific pathogen-free (SPF) broilers and two groups of SPF layers at day-old with either a fowl aviadenovirus (FAdV)-D or a FAdV-E strain. A substantial variation in the degree of susceptibility was observed with mortalities of 100 and 96% in the FAdV-E and D infected SPF broile...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the phytotherapeutic efficacy Allium sativum L. (garlic) as alternative compounds antibiotics used by farmers in treatment coccidiosis poultry. In study, 20 chickens divided into 4 batches received only garlic powder their feed. results obtained after a natural infestation revealed weight loss all subjects before administration different products. Fol...

Effect of vitamin A deficiency was determined on the immune response of broilers. The experimental feed was prepared having vitamin A level at the rate of 500 IU/kg of feed. Vitamin A deficiency in feed significantly lowered (P<0.05) the gain in body weight with poor feed conversion ratio (FCR). In Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infected broilers kept on vitamin A deficiency showed greenish whit...

Identification of appropriate breeds of broilers and development of new feed additives is required for the development of poultry industry at high altitude. Therefore, this experiment was conducted first to identify the suitable broiler strain for this region. One week old chicks (150) from three broiler strains, i.e. Vencobb, RIR cross-bred, and Hubbard were randomly selected and divided equal...
