A total of 448 Ross 308 male broiler chickens were assigned to seven treatments with four replicates, each containing 16 chicks. The birds were reared from d 21 to 42 and effects of physical sizes (ad libitum by a basal commercial broiler diet with 3050 Kcal/Kg ME and 19.06% CP/Kg from 21 to 42 d. The chickens which received clinoptilolite (1.5% with particle size of 0.4-0.8 mm) showed a signif...

Aim: A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental yeast culture (Diamond V XPC Yeast Culture; YC) in broiler diets on carcass characteristics and humoral immune response. Materials and Methods: A total of 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to four YC dietary treatments of 60 birds each. The dietary treatments were 0 (control), 1, 1.25 and 1.5 g YC/k...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein (cp) and lysine levels on performance and nitrogen excretion in broiler chickens. four hundred twenty 7-day old chickens from ross 308 strain were randomly allotted to 6 dietary treatments with 5 replicates of 14 chicks each (7 male and 7 female chicks). the cp levels were 17, 18, and 20 percent and lysine levels were ...

The objective of this study was to establish the effects chestnut tannin extract or vitamin E added linseed oil-enriched diets on growth performance, meat quality, and intestinal morphology broiler chickens. A total 240 day-old Ross 308 male chicks were included in trial. 5% cold-pressed oil finisher (21–40 days), three feeding treatments with four replicates formed: without additives; + 200 IU...

this experiment was conducted to study the effects of two kinds of sodium and calcium bentonite (nab and cab) on performance, blood biochemical parameters, carcass characteristics and tibia ash of broiler chickens. two hundred and sixty day old broilers of male ross 308 strain were allocated to 5 treatments with four replicatates and 13 broilers in each. the experiment was carried out in a comp...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of intra-amnion administration of different doses of ascorbic acid (AA) on hatchability, growth performance, blood metabolites, jejunal morphology, and tibia breaking strength in 36h post hatch fasted broiler chickens. Two hundred eighty-eight Ross-308 fertile eggs at the 15thday of incubation were divided into four treatment groups, each con...

Abstract: Coccidiosis is one of the major parasitic diseases of poultry. In this study, to compare the effects of coccidiostatic drugs on fecal oocyst shedding and body weight gain of coccidi-infected broiler chickens, 180 one day old Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four treatments. Each treatment contained 3 replicates of 15 chickens. Treatments 1 and 2 were fed diets supplem...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of ascites-related physiological and metabolic parameters in broiler chickens fed with different components of bentonite. two hundred and seven days old arian male chicks were allocated into five dietary treatment groups including 1) basal diet (control); 2) basal diet + 1% sulphated sodium bentonite (ssb); 3) basal diet + 1% non-processed sodi...

The present study was aimed at studying the effects of inclusion of pomegranate seed extract to fat-containing diets on nutrients digestibility, intestinal microflora and performance of broilers. A total of 320 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were selected in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 4 replicates o...
