The high cost of feed has been the major hindrance to a growth, sustainability, profitability, and expansion poultry production. Black soldier fly larva (BSFL) meal is one most promising alternative protein sources widely accepted globally. This study evaluated growth performance improved indigenous chicken (IIC)-fed diets containing different inclusion levels BSFL meals. rates included 0% (Die...

two experiments were conducted to investigate interactions of wheat bran, barley bran, or soybean hulls with sodium deoxycholate and cholesterol in broiler chickens. a completely randomize design was used with a 4×2 factorial arrangement and 256 one-day old broiler chickens (ross 308) with 8 experimental diets in 4 replicates of 8 birds per replicate for each experiment. factors for first exper...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding a commercial medicinal plant (mp) powder containing garlic (allium sativum) and thyme (thymus vulgaris) to diets that included olive pulp (op), on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicks. a total of 240 day old male ross-308 broiler chicks were allocated into six iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic dietary groups with...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the additional effects of two ground medicinal herbs oat bran (OB) and dill seed (DS) on serum lipids, carcass characteristics and growth performance in Japanese quails. A total of 240-twenty one day of age male Japanese quails were allocated randomly to 3 treatments with 4 replicates of 20 birds per cage. Birds during the 22-49 days on trial received 3 d...

The effects of grain and carbohydrase enzyme supplementation were investigated on digestive physiology of chickens. A total of 625 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to five treatments in a completely randomized design. Treatments included two different types of grains (wheat, and barley) with or without a multi-carbohydrase supplement. A corn-based diet was also considered to...

The effects of raw and sodium hydrogen carbonate-treated oak acorn were evaluated on broiler chicken performance and cecal flora. A total of 340 one-day-old broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five experimental treatments and four replicates with 17 birds each. A corn-based diet served as the control and four treatment groups were diets containing 20 or 25% raw or tr...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of addition of the pomegranate seed oil (pso) in the diet on growth performance, diet digestibility and rumen fermentation parameters of fattening lambs. twenty one sanjabi lambs, with average body weight of 27.5±2.6 kg and 3 months of age, were used in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 7 replicates.the experimental treatments...
