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...

Background: Salmonellosis is one of the important diseases in poultry industry, which also causes public health concerns. Objectives: We studied effects enrofloxacin and herbal medicines on growth performance, blood parameters, meat oxidation, cecal microbial population broilers challenged with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST). Methods: A total 240 one-day-old (male) Ross 308 broile...

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 ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ascites-related physiological and metabolic parameters in broiler chickens fed with different components of bentonite. Two hundred and seven days old Arian male chicks were allocated into five dietary treatment groups including 1) basal diet (control); 2) basal diet + 1% sulphated sodium bentonite (SSB); 3) basal diet + 1% non-processed sodi...

probiotics are beneficial microorganisms which will be considered as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters.the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of probiotic administration in hatchery on performance, blood parameters and immune response of broilers. three hundereds 1-d-old male chicks (ross 308) were assigned to five experimental groups of three replications. birds o...

A 42 days experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of dried Centella asiatica leaf meal (CSP) as an herbal feed additive on the growth performance, haematology and serum biochemistry of broiler chicken. A total of 200 Ross 308 day old broiler chicks of mixed sex was divided into four (4) treatment groups of fifty (50) birds, each group was further divided into five replicates each of ...
