Single cell protein (SCP) is the definition for dried cells originated from single-celled organisms intended to be used as a protein source in human foods or animal feeds. An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the various levels of single cell protein on fecal microflora and productive traits of broiler chickens. A total of 192 day-old Ross 308 male chicks were randomly divided into 4 tr...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary soy isoflavones (isfs) on growth performance, blood parameters and tibia ca and p content of broiler chickens. a total of 240 as-hatched day-old ross 308 chicks were used in a completely randomize design with four treatments (0 (control), 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg of isf), three replicates and 20 birds per each replicate for a period of 4...

in this experiment, randomized complete block design with four replications was used for evaluating of the effect of three feeding methods including: without feed restriction (control group), 6 hours feed restriction from 7 to 21 days and 4 hours from 22 to 28 days, 6 hours feed restriction from 7 to 14 days and 4 hours from 15 to 21 days on performance and ascites prevention of arian male broi...

320 one-day male broilers (ross 308) were divided in 4 treatments (with 4 replicate and 20 chicks for a replicate). all of broilers reared under a cold environmental temperature to induce ascites .experimental treatments were included 1: was fed a commercial corn-soybean meal- based diet meeting nrc (1994) including 1.2% arg and 40 iu of vitamin e/kg (control), 2: control with 400 iu of vitamin...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary salvia mirzayanii supplementation on performance, carcass characteristics, internal organs and cecal microbial population in broilers. a total of 200, one-day-old broiler chicks (ross 308) were fed five experimental diets containing different levels of s. mirzayanii (zero, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and one percent of diet) until 42 days of...

the purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of metabolizable energy (me) levels, feed restriction (fr) intensity and duration in pelleted diet on performance, blood parameters and carcass characteristics in broiler chickens. a total of 480 male ross 308 broilers were used in a 2×2×3 factorial arrangement with 12 treatments and 4 replicates. experimental treatments included: two...

introduction antibiotic feed additives have long been used as growth promoters in poultry nutrition. however, concern has been expressed about the potential development of antibiotic resistant bacteria (25). consequently, the animal feed industry, exposed to increasing consumer pressure to reduce the use of antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diets, has to find alternative feed additives. ma...
