this study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of savory (satureja hortensis) powder and its essential oil on performance and antioxidant status of broiler chickens under heat stress (34±2 ˚c for 8 hours per day). a total of 336 one-day-old male broiler chicks (ross-308) were divided into 6 treatments and 4 replications (14 birds per replicate). experimental diets were a...

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of organic acids and phytase enzyme supplementation on performance and intestinal histomorphology of broilers. The experiment was done in a factorial arrangement 2 × 2 × 2 based on completely randomized design with eight treatments, five replicates with 12 chicks in each until 42 days of age. Diets included natural vinegar (0 and 2%),...

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of feeding time restriction in alternate day on performance and Heterophil to Lymphocyte (H/L) ratios as indices stress of broiler chickens. A total 180 seven day-old unsexed broiler chicks were randomly allocated to three treatments: chicks fed ad libitum (P-0); chicks had free access to feed from 07:00 to 09:00, 12:00 to 13:00 and ...

This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of two levels of dietary oregano essential oil (OEO) on growth performances, biochemical, hematological parameters, and intestinal histomorphology in Japanese quail. A total number of 99 quail chicks were divided into three groups (33 quails per group): Control, OEO 150 mg kg-1, and OEO 300 mg kg-1 treated groups for 42 day...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate of different levels of water nitrate on performance and blood parameter of broiler chicks. 240 day old ross 308 were assigned in 5 treatments, 4 replicates and 12 chicks per replicate in a completely randomized design. treatments so that water nitrate concentration was 10 mg in drinking water of poultry farm (control group or cg) and another treatment 4...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of supplemented curcumin (cmn), derived from plant curcuma longa, extract on performance and blood parameters of acetaminophen (act) induced quail hepatic injury. 240 quails from 0-37 days of age were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments of 4 replicates each and 15 chickens per replicate. all groups received 750 mg/kg body we...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of male broiler chickens in the period from 21 to 42 days of age fed diets with increasing levels of sunflower meal (SM) supplemented with an enzyme complex (EC). A total of 1920 animals of the Cobb strain were distributed in a randomized block design in a 4 × 3 factorial arrangement (four SM levels and three enzymes utilization types)...
