Background & Aim: A feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of periodically use of garlic on growth ‎performance, and antibody titer to Newcastle and infectious bursal diseases in broiler ‎chickens. Experimental: Ross broiler chicks randomly allocated into the 10 dietary treatments ‎for 6 weeks. A 3 × 4 factorial experiment was used as three periods of feeding (starter, grower an...

to evaluate antioxidant effects of tomato pomace in broiler diets contained full-fat linseed on the production index, energy and protein efficiency, 396 one-day old ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated to 36 cages for nine dietary treatments with four replicate. this experiment were carried out in a completely randomized design with 3*3 factorial arrangement with three levels of full-fat l...

a chick bioassay with chemically defined amino acid (aa) diets was conducted to compare four different aa profiles: the nrc (1994), feed stuff, rhone poulenc animal nutrition (rpan) and illinois ideal chick protein (iicp) aa profiles. this battery study involved male and female chicks during grower (21 to 42 days of age) period. indispensable aas were rationed to lysine according to requirement...

An experiment was conducted on broiler chickens to study the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), fish oil, both at 7% of the diet, or their mixtures at 3.5% of the diet, on the performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. The chicks fed with 7% fish oil or 7% CLA diets, were found to have an inferior weight gain in grower and finisher phases, respectively. A...

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the growth performance of six commercial broiler hybridsavailable in Iran (Arbor Acres, Arian, Cobb 500, Hubbard, Lohmann and Ross 508). Two hundred and fiftyfertile eggs of each hybrid were taken from different breeder farms, all over the country. The similarity offlocks ages and their health conditions were considered. After hatching, the sexed chi...

Green tea leaves contain a wide range of active bio-compounds that are essential for sustainable quail intensification; however, its feed value is not known the Jumbo quail. Therefore, this study evaluated effect different levels green leaf powder (GTLP) on physiological and meat quality parameters One-week-old chicks (n = 350; 56.1 ± 2.12 g live-weight) were evenly distributed to 35 replicate ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of spent mushroom compost (SMC) meal on the growth performance and meat characteristics of geese. The SMC extracts contained 2.49±0.62 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight (DW) and 1.08±0.15 mg quercetin equivalent/g DW of the total phenolic and flavonoid contents. A total of 120 White Roman geese, aged five weeks, were randomly distribu...

Experiments were conducted to determine effects of Santoquin (ethoxyquin) and oxidized fat on liver and intestinal reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione, and pulmonary hypertension syndrome (PHS) mortality. Male broilers were randomly assigned in a 2 x 2 factorial consisting of 3.5% normal (NF) or oxidized (OxF) fat with or without ethoxyquin (E). Body weights and feed intake were monit...

this study was conducted to investigate the possible involvement of the histaminergic system in themediation of ghrelin-induced feeding behavior in broiler chickens. in the trial 1, the effect ofintracerebroventricular (icv) injection of ghrelin on feed intake was examined in 3-h feed-deprived broilerchickens. in the trials 2 and 3, the chickens were received icv chlorpheniramine (an h1 recepto...
