A 3 × 2 factorial arrangements with completely randomized design, with a total of 72 Leghorn Hy-line (W-36) laying hens in the second cycle (98 wk old) of production were randomly assigned to 24 wire cages (45.7×30×30 cm3) and fed with diets containing three levels of guar meal (GM; 0, 4 and 8%) and two levels of β-mannanase (Hemicell®) enzyme (0.00 and 0.05%) for 12 wk period. There...

an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of potato replacing maizeseed on performance characteristicsand immunes system of broiler chicken in a completely randomized design. a total of 220 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 5 treatment groups, with 4 replicates of 11 birds each. the chicks in the first group were fed basal diet (control), 2nd and 3rd groups ...

to evaluate the effects of supplementation of tomato pomace (tp), canola, soybean and tallow oils on performance, carcass characteristics, and bone parameters of heat stressed broilers, 792 d-old arian broiler were divided to 36 pens. each dietary treatment had 4 replicate with 22 birds each. these factorial experiment (3*3) involved 3 kinds of canola, soybean and tallow oils and 3 levels of 0,...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fasting period with or without enzyme supplementation on body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio; carcass traits and blood parameters of broilers. One hundred sixty eight, one day old, Cobb broiler chicks were randomly distributed into eight treatments. Each treatment included three replicates each with 7 birds. Bi...

this study investigated the effects of coenzyme q10 (coq10) supplementation on hematological, enzymes activities and biochemical parameters in broilers with pulmonary hypertension syndrome (phs).two hundred and forty 1-d-old ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 3 groups with 4 replicates. from d 14, the diets were supplemented with coq10 at levels of 0, 20 and 40 mg/kg, res...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of crude protein and threonine on performance, carcass characteristics and immune system of broiler chickens during starter (7-24) and grower (25-42) periods. a total of 288 male broiler chicks of ross 308 strain were used in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement (2×4) with three replicates in each trea...

AIM The aim of this study was the assessment of various levels of date palm kernel (DPK) on the growth performance of broilers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 250-day-old broiler chicks were randomly selected and categorized into five groups (50 chicks/group) contained A (control), B, C, D and E fed with 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% levels of DPK in balanced ration, respectively, for 6 weeks. Feed and wate...
