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...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of the addition of a multi enzyme (natuzyme-p) to corn-soybean based diets and to determine the enzyme's nutrient equivalency on broiler chicks’ performance. ninety six day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to a number of 24 battery cages in a completely randomized design. the chicks were grown up to 6 wk of age. six diets (...

Two experiments were conducted to determine physical and chemical properties of vermicelli waste (VW) and effect of VW inclusion levels on growth performance of broilers. In experiment 1, VW samples were randomly collected from vermicelli industry in Thailand to analyze nutritional composition. Vermicelli waste contained 9.96% moisture, 12.06% CP, 32.30% crude fiber (CF), and 0.57% ether extrac...

a study was carried out to evaluate the effects of r. coriaria l. and p. farcta extracts as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in broilers diet. a total of 300 one-day-old male ross 308 chicks were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments (five pen replicates, 15 birds per pen) for the 0- to 28-d period, and all data were analyzed in a randomized complete design. dietary treatment...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding a commercial medicinal plant (mp) powder containing garlic (allium sativum) and thyme (thymus vulgaris) to diets that included olive pulp (op), on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicks. a total of 240 day old male ross-308 broiler chicks were allocated into six iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic dietary groups with...

Effects on plasma cholesterol concentration of protein source, protein content and soybean saponins in the diet were investigated in chicks. Soybean protein isolate fortified with methionine (SPI), or casein with arginine, methionine and glycine (CAA) was used as protein source. Seven-day-old Single Comb White Leghorn male chicks were freely fed the experimental diets for 10 days in all trials....

Using distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) as a feed ingredient in poultry nutrition has lately been increased. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding different dietary levels of DDGS on the productive performance of broiler chicks from 1 to 35 d of age. Two hundred forty one-d-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed among 3 treatment groups with eight replicates...

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of feeding a zinc (Zn) deficient diet to broiler chicks for 96 h post-hatch followed by feeding diets with different Zn sources and supplemental levels (5 to 21 d) on the growth performance, tissue, and excreta Zn content. At the start of the study, four hundred 20-day-old male broiler chicks were divided into two groups. One group was fed a c...
