a study was conducted to determine the efficacy of esterified glucomannan, sodium bentonite and humic acid, in counteracting the toxic effects of aflatoxin in experimentally contaminated diets (254ppbaf) fed to broiler chickens. 7-day-old male broiler chicks of similar weight were randomly assigned to one of the nine dietary treatments with four replicates of 12 chicks each. chicks were grouped...

the objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of high dietary levels of l-arginine during starter period on growth, intestine morphology and immune system of female ross broiler chicks. in this experiment, 192 day old female ross broiler chicks were fed with 4 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design, in which each dietary treatment included 4 replications. dieta...

the effect of feeding fermented cottonseed meal on performance, carcass characteristics and blood serum lipid profile was studied in a completely randomized design with five treatments, five replicates and 12 birds per replication using 300 male ross 308 broiler chicks. raw cottonseed meal was fermented with a liquid mixed culture containing bacillus subtilis, aspergillus niger and aspergillus ...

To study the effect of different levels of peppermint (Mentha piperita) plant powder, on immune system of broilers under heat stress condition, 192 one-day old chickens (Ross, 308) were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments with 4 replicates of 12 chicks each, using a completely randomized design. The four groups were characterized by a basal diet (control), basal diet supplemented with 1 ...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of adding ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) and cumin essential oil (CEO) to diets of broiler chicks on the performance, blood parameters, immune response and carcass traits. A total of 240 day-old Ross-308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four treatments with six replicates and 10 birds in each replicate in a completely randomized desi...

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of four levels of dietary threonine (Thr) supplementations on growth performance, gut size and histomorphometric alterations of small intestines in broiler chicks in 1-14 days.
