This study was conducted to compare the feedlot performance and growth traits of Lori-Bakhtiari (n=39), Romanov × Lori-Bakhtiari (n=38) and Pakistani × Lori-Bakhtiari crossbred (n=12) lambs during two consecutive years. Lambs were weaned at the age of 90 ± 5 days. After weaning and preliminary fattening period, three groups of lambs were fattened for 90 days in the same conditions. The resul...

  An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic on performance and Lactobacillus population in broiler chickens . Six hundred and thirty 1-d-old broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with 7 treatments and 6 replicates of 15 birds per replicate. Dietary treatments were 1) basal diet ( control diet without supplemental additives) ...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: The most important factor in adjusting poultry feed consumption is energy, which is correlated with feed cost. The net energy system is more accurate and useful for measuring the energy utilization of poultry. The presence of anti-nutritional compounds such as non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) and phytate compounds in some poultry feed items ...

The effect of dietary protein level and feed restriction on performance, body temperature and hematological values was evaluated, using Ross 308 broiler chicks under heat stress. For this purpose, three dietary treatments were fed to broilers during 21 to 42 days of age. Two treatments consisted of diets with protein levels recommended by NRC, 1994 and 85% of NRC recommendation and were fed ad-...

In this study, 360 rainbow trout fingerlings with an average body weight of 10.93 ± 0.2 g were divided into 3 group of BV (8, 12 and 16 μg of bee venom powder) and a control group (commercial diet free of honey bee venom) with three respective replicates. After one week adaptation with experimental conditions, the fish were fed with experimental diets for 60 days. Results showed that final leng...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Savory essential oil and Flavomycin on performance, some carcass traits, immune response and hematology of broiler chickens. In this research, four houndered Ross 308 male chicks were used in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates and 20 broiler chicks per experimental unit. Experimental treatments consisted of ...
