We determined the effects of dietary supplementation of different doses of Miswak (Salvadorapersica) steam and leaf powder on the performance, blood parameters, cecal flora, and carcass traits of broilers. Four hundred and eight one-day old Ross 308 broiler chicks were provided one of the following experimental diets over 42 days:  a basal diet without any additives, or a basal diet supplemente...

BACKGROUND Small intestinal and oro-cecal transit time (OCTT) is determined for clinical diagnostics and research purposes. Experimental protocols used vary with respect to the inclusion of a subsequent meal during the test period. This study was conducted to elucidate whether the ingestion of a subsequent meal during the test period influences the OCTT of the test meal. MATERIALS AND METHODS...

He developed an acute abdomen on postoperative day 6, and imaging demonstrated a cecal bascule. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a cecal bascule w...

this experiment was conducted to examine the effect of multi-strain probiotic (primalac) on performance, immune responses and cecal microflora in broiler chickens under cyclic heat stress condition. a total of 96 one-d-old mixed sex broiler chicks (ross 308) were weighed and randomly allocated to two treatment groups, each with 4 replicate pens of 12 chicks. the dietary treatments were basal di...

We report on a case of cecal volvulus that developed in a 54-year-old women 1 day after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy and was successfully treated via colonoscopic decompression. The symptoms gradually improved in con...
