a total of 448 ross 308 male broiler chickens were assigned to seven treatments with four replicates, each containing 16 chicks. the birds were reared from d 21 to 42 and effects of physical sizes (ad libitum by a basal commercial broiler diet with 3050 kcal/kg me and 19.06% cp/kg from 21 to 42 d. the chickens which received clinoptilolite (1.5% with particle size of 0.4-0.8 mm) showed a signif...

This study examined the effects of nucleotide supplementation on broiler chick growth performance, immunological response, carcass traits, meat quality, serum biochemical parameters, total antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, mortality rate, and economic efficiency measures chicks. A 180 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308) were distributed into 6 groups, each which consisted 30 chicks, group ...

The present study was aimed at studying the effects of inclusion of pomegranate seed extract to fat-containing diets on nutrients digestibility, intestinal microflora and performance of broilers. A total of 320 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were selected in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 4 replicates o...

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of dried chlorella powder (Chlorella vulgaris; DCP) and chlorella growth factor (CGF) on growth performance, serum characteristics, meat qualities and humoral immune responses in broiler chicks. A total of 1050 day-old Ross male broiler chicks were randomly divided into 35 pens (30 chicks/pen) and subjected to one of seven dietary treat...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effects of dietary myrtle essential oil on small intestinal morphology and microbiology of broiler chickens. two hundred day-old broiler chickens (ross 308) were allocated to 5 treatments, 4 replications with a completely randomized design. the diets were supplemented with: no myrtle essential oil (control), each of myrtle essential oil at levels o...

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...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects of organic and inorganic selenium (Se) sources on broiler male birds (Ross 308). Uniform broiler male chicks divided in to five groups with six replicates were fed with either normal feed (without supplemental Se, negative control), 0.25 ppm of inorganic Se, 0.5 ppm of inorganic Se, 0.25 ppm of inorganic Se + 0.25 ppm of organic ...

in order to evaluate the effects of chlorella on broiler performance and immune system, an experimentwas performed by using 80 ross 308 male broiler chicks. the experiment was accomplished incompletely randomized design including 5 treatments with 4 replication and 4 observations in eachreplicate. the basal diet was based on corn-soybean meal (control) and without any additives. agraded level o...
