the objective of this study was to determine the effect of different levels of chicory root and stem powder (crsp) and butyric acid (ba) combination on the performance, carcass traits, relative weight of internal organs and some blood parameters in broiler chickens. two hundred and forty one-day-old broilers (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design with four treatments with six re...

Phytogenic feed additives are used as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and performance enhancer in the nutrition of broiler chicks. In present study, it was aimed to investigate effects usage phytogenic which an alternative antibiotics broilers at different levels rations, on morphology duodenum ileum. For this purpose, 48 male ROSS-308 one-day-old chicks were study. Chicks with a body weight 4...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary nettle (Urtica dioica) medicinal plant supplementation on growth performance, carcass traits, and blood biochemical and immunity parameters in female broiler chicks. A total of 300 (Ross-308) broilers were randomly allocated into one of the following dietary treatments: 1) control, " # " $ % # " $ % # " $ % # " $ % $ & ' $ chicks per p...

Background: Nutritional strategies targeting improvement of poultry performance and disease prevention are currently being developed and in this respect the dietary intake of spiced essential oils and pre-biotics in raising broilers is receiving attention. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to compare the effects of diet containing ginger essential oils (GEO) and mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium butyricum and Lactobacillus acidophilus (tri-strain probiotics, TSP) endospores in broilers. TSP can benefit the host animal by increasing nutrient absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and altering the intestinal ecosystem in poultry. A total of 500 day-old ROSS 308 mixed sex broiler chickens with an averag...

Two experiments (Exp.) were conducted to establish amino acid (AA) digestibility coefficients (DC) for broilers given corticosterone (CS)-induced stress using the apparent ileal digestibility assay. For Exp. 1, 192 Ross x Ross 708 male broilers were placed into 16 floor pens (12 birds/pen). For Exp. 2, 120 Ross x Ross 308 male broilers were placed into 10 floor pens (12 birds/pen). Pens contain...

Supplementation of exogenous enzymes in chickens has been widely practiced, yet mechanisms responsible are not fully delineated. To investigate the effects of the dietary lysozyme on the growth performance and immunity of broiler chickens, a total of 120 one-day-old Ross 308 chicks were randomly allocated into four groups, each having three replicates (30 birds/group). The chicks were fed the s...

Background: Some medicinal plants can stimulate growth in poultry. Objective: To compare the effects of dietary addition virginiamycin antibiotic and galbanum plant (Ferula gummosa) on performance, carcass characteristics, immune system, blood factors broiler chickens. Methods: A total 250 one-day-old male Ross 308 chickens were randomly assigned to five treatments with replicates (10 birds per...
