to consider the effect of probiotic and organic acids on performance, carcass characteristics, blood parameters and immune response of broilers, a completely randomized design test was done with four treatments and four replicate for each reatment. two hundred and forty one day-old mixed sex broilers (ross breed) were divided into four treatments with 15 chicks per each replicate (pen). treatme...

as lactating cows in severe negative energy balance have poor reproductive performance, the effect of dietary fat supplementation (fish oil, soybean oil) on pgfm secretion, ovarian function and blood metabolites is investigated. in this experiment, the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma metabolites, ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion of 20 primiparous holstein co...

conclusions it seems that the concept of negative-calorie lacks any validity and application. contrary to expectation, efficacy of both weight-loss diets was the same. patients and methods this was a randomized study (the consort statement) carried out at ukrainian center of sports medicine (kiev-2012). participants (n = 66) included sedentary overweight or obese women (age 45-64 years). they w...

this study was conducted to assess the effect of ginger supplementation on malondialdehyde (mda) level, as an oxidative stress marker, and total antioxidant capacity (tac) in broiler chicks. two hundred male 1-day-old chicks were assigned randomly to four dietary treatments (basal diet as control group and basal diet containing 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 g/kg ginger, respectively), with five replicates a...

background: prescription of antioxidants might increase the quality of sperm parameters and improve the rate of pregnancy in obese people who suffer from infertility. therefore, the present study investigated protective effects of vitamin a, e and astaxanthin on sperm parameters and seminiferous tubules epithelium in high-fat diet model. methods: thirty-six numbers of 3 months old albino wistar...

Ruminal bacteria and protozoa provide excellent organic phosphorus (P) sources for the host animal. This experiment was conducted to compare the bioavailability of bacterial and protozoal P in comparison with that of dicalcium phosphate (DCP) as a reference phosphorus source. Bacteria and protozoa were isolated from the rumen contents of dairy cows and the chick-model was used to determine the ...

Three-hundred and twenty 7-day-old Ross 308-strain broiler chickens were fed diets containing 0 or 125 ppb aflatoxin B 1 (AFB1) from 7 to 28 days of age. Sodium bentonite (0.5%), yeast (Saccharomyces cervisiae) 0.2%, hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) (0.5%), ammonia (0.5%), formycine (0.1%), and toxiban (0.1%) were added to the basal diet, as fed basis to determine the effects of ...

Objective: High-fat diet (HFD) rises the susceptibility of both obesity and consequently Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We designed a study to investigate the improving effects of herbal extract (HE, the combination of turmeric, ginger, boswellia, and cat’s claw extract) on the risk of high AGEs-fat diet 60% (HFD) mice induced colitis and obesity. Materials and Methods: Four-week-old C57BL/...

In order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from Cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. Treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...

objective: a research was carried out to investigate the effects of nettle (urtica dioica) powder (np) and essential oil (ne) on performance, blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and antioxidant stability in broiler chicks. methods: the treatments were t1: control diet, t2: control diet + 5g/kg np, t3: control diet + 10 g/kg np, t4: control diet + 5g/kg ne and t5: control diet + 10 g/kg n...
