An experiment was conducted to determine the digestible amino acids requirements of broilers based on different ideal amino acid ratios for male and female broiler chicks during finisher period. Experimental period began at day 29 and lasted in 42 d of age. A total of 720 male and female broiler chicks were equally distributed to 12 dietary treatments with 15 birds per pen and 4 pens per treatm...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary wild-ginseng adventitious root meal (WGM) on growth performance, blood profiles, relative organ weight and meat quality of broiler chickens. A total of 480, 2-day-old male broiler chicks (BW = 42.8±1.38 g) were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 dietary treatments (6 cages with 20 broilers per cage). Dietary treatments were: i) CON (bas...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of replacing corn by 20% barley supplementedwith probiotic, prebiotic and antibiotic on performance, immune response, intestinal morphology, carcass development and nutrient digestibility of broilers. Four hundred Ross 308 one day-old broiler chicks were assigned randomly to 5 dietary treatments and were tested for 42 days in a com...

Effects of different levels of choline and garlic powder on performance, liver health and immune response in broiler chickens were evaluated in this study. A factorial experiment with 2 dietary choline levels (the recommended level in Ross 308 broiler guidelines and 25 % less than the recommendation) and 3 dietary garlic powder levels (0, 5 or 10 g/kg diet) was conducted using Ross 308 broiler ...

A total of 192 broiler chicks were used to evaluate the influence of dietary α-lipoic acid (ALA) on growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of broiler chickens with the purpose of developing a strategy to prevent the occurrence of pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) meat and to improve the meat quality of broilers. At 22 d of age, birds were allocated to 4 ALA treatments (0, 40...

The present study investigated the effects of two feed additives, first containing an herbal mixture oregano, garlic, sage, and rock samphire extracts second tributyrin (glyceryl tributyrate) when fed to broiler chickens. A total 360 one-day-old chicks were randomly allocated four treatments (6 replicate pens 15 chicks). One treatment served as unsupplemented control, whereas feeds other three ...

AIM This study was conducted with an aim of studying the efficacy of water supplements of Aloe vera and Azadirachta indica (neem) during pre-starter age (0-2 weeks) on gut health and histomorphometry in Vanaraja chicks. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 192 day old Vanaraja chicks were randomly assigned to one of four herbal water treatments throughout the experimental pre-starter stage (0-2 w...

The use of 2.5 kg/mt of a commercial HSCAS (Myco-Ad) have been previously demonstrated to effectively prevent the toxic effect of 1.25 ppm T-2 toxin (T-2) in broilers. An experiment was conducted to study the efficacy of a very low inclusion commercial purified phylosilicate (Myco-Ad A-Z) in preventing the deleterious effects of T-2 in broiler chicks. Thirty two 5-day-old Ross male broiler chic...

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...
