the objective of this study was to assess the importance of strain and sex and their interaction effect on broiler chickens’ performance and susceptibility to ascites. chicks from three strains (ross 308, cobb 500 and arian, labeled as a, b and c respectively) were obtained from the same age breeder and sexed when one-day-old. each crosses’ sex was assigned to four pens of 60 broilers each. bod...

in order to investigate effects of partial replacement of starch with neutral detergent soluble fiber (ndsf) on weekly weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, digestibility and some histopathological changes of rumen, 16 lambs were used in completely randomized design. the experimental period was 70 days. dietary treatments were 1- control (high starch), 2- beet pulp, 18 percent, 3- be...

this study was conducted to determine the nutritional value of seaweed gracilariopsis persica and to evaluate its utilization in layer nutrition. metabolizable energy and chemical composition of seaweed were measured. 100 hy-line w-36 hens were allocated to five dietary groups with five treatment group (experimental diets containing zero, five, 10, 15 and 20 percent seaweed) and it lasted for 1...

twenty eight lactating buffaloes were used in a completely randomized design with 2×2 factorial arrangement of four experimental diets including low protein–low energy (lp-le), low protein–high energy (lp-he), high protein–low energy (hp-le) and high protein–high energy (hp-he). results showed that the hp-he diet recorded the highest digestibility coefficients of cp, ee, nfe, nutritive values, ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects seaweeds gracilariopsis persica in diets on performance and tsh, t3 and t4 hormones in serum of laying quail. a total of 112 laying quails were randomly allocated into four dietary treatments (diets containing 0, 1, 3 and 5% seaweed) with 4 replicates of 7 birds each. the birds were fed on experimental diets for 12 weeks. eggs were collected ...

Aim The purpose of this study was to know the production performance and economic analysis in quail which use probiotic supplementation to alternate antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) to feed consumption, water consumption, egg production, egg mass, feed conversion, and feed efficiency. Materials and Methods About 240 quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) at 14 weeks of age were completely random...

this study was investigate the effects of two levels of metabolism energy (me) and length of fattening periods on performance and growth characteristics of chalishtori male lambs. 64 ram lambs were weaning and intake diets with two levels of energy include: 2.5 and 2.3 mcal me/kg dm in 90 and 120 days fattening period. in this study used of completely random designs with 2×2 factorial methods (...
