This study was aimed to assess the impact of dietary energy density on liver health parameters, carcass characteristics and performance of broilers exposed to heat stress. 600 Cobb male chicks were assigned to five dietary treatments and four replicates. Chicks were fed diet based on corn as main energy source and energy level based on Cobb standard (C), corn based diet with 3% lesser energy th...

the present study conducted to investigate the effect of energy sources and levels on performance and breast meat amino acids profile in cobb 500 broiler chicks. a total of 600 1-day-old cobb 500 broiler chicks with an average weight of 39 ± 0.50 g were randomly divided into five treatments. each treatment was further divided into four replicates. chicks were fed a basal diet based on corn and ...

Aim: To evaluate the effects of inclusion of roasted guar meal, also known as guar korma, as a partial replacement for deoiled soybean meal (SBM) in commercial broiler diets, on production performance and carcass traits of Cobb-400 broiler chickens. Materials and Methods: 1600 one-day-old Cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly assigned into four dietary treatments, each with four replicates (n =...

The effects of in ovo Peptide YY (PYY) administration on growth and feed conversion ratios in a commercial broiler line were investigated. Six hundred Ross male x Cobb female eggs were administered either 0.9% saline (control) or 600 microg/kg egg weight PYY in ovo at Day 18 of incubation. On day of hatching, 210 birds from each treatment group were randomly placed by sex into pens. Body weight...

The effects of enriching broiler chicken diets with a vegetable source of n-3 fat in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) on the accumulation of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) in chicken meat were investigated. Sixty unsexed one-day-old broiler chickens (Cobb 500) were randomly allocated to one of six diets (n=10 birds/diet) for 4 weeks. The ALA levels varied fro...

AIM The study was conducted to evaluate the attribution of antibacterial and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Cassia tora toward its growth promoting effect in broiler birds. MATERIALS AND METHODS A limit test was conducted for C. tora extract in Wistar albino rats. Phytochemical screening of methanolic extract of leaves of C. tora was carried out. In-vitro antibacterial activity...

This study aimed to investigate effects of varying doses of Nigella sativa seed powder or acetone extracts in diet on feed intake, mortality, serum lipid profiles and population of intestinal microflora of broilers. A total 168, day-old broiler chicks (Cobb 500) were ad-libitium manually prepared feeds supplemented with 0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.0% seed powder or 0, 0.2, 0.4% acetone extracts of N. sativa...

This research aimed to increase functional value of broiler-chicken meat containing high antioxidant and low cholesterol through substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with Indigofera zollingeriana top leaf meal (ILM). The experiment used 160 day old broiler chicken (Cobb strain). The experimental chicken were provided dietary treatments when they were 15-days old (initial body weight of 460.5±1.56...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of alpha lipoic acid on the performance and serum lipid profile in broiler chicken. In this study, eighty, day-old Venn Cobb commercial broiler chicks broiler chicks were randomly distributed into two treatment groups with four replicates of ten birds each and the birds were fed with experimental diets T1 (Control ration as per BIS [1992]...
