in order to determine the optimal levels of energy and protein in grower diet of japanese quail, 360 dayold japanese quails were used in a 3×3 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments that comprised threelevels of metabolisable energy (2750, 2850, and 2950 kcal/kg) and three levels of crude protein (24, 26and 28 percent) with four replicates per treatment in a completely randomized design. f...

background & aim: medicinal plants is very potential to be used as a supplementary feed as well as feed additive in broilers.this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of milk thistle (mt) and thyme seeds (ts) on the performance in broilers. experimental: in this study, 160 one-day-old (ross 308) male broiler chicks were divided randomly into four major groups with 4 replicate...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using protexin, propionic acid growth promoters, and a blend of them on broilers performance. in a completely randomized design, three hundreds and twenty unsexed 1-d-old chicks were divided into four groups. dietary treatments were consisted of 1) control diet without any supplement, 2) the control diet + 0.01 % protexin, 3) the contr...

Net feed conversion efficiency (NFCE) describes whether an animal eats more or less feed than expected for its size and growth rate. Early results from the Trangie NFCE Project, and from the Beef CRC, show that considerable variation in NFCE exists within each of the British breeds tested and is moderately heritable. Estimates of heritability for average daily gain, 365-day weight, feed intake,...

effect of intermittent mash-pellet feeding programs on broilers performance, ascites susceptibility and economic yield was studied using 480 broilers in six treatments and five replicates of 16 chicks per pen were used in a completely randomized design. treatments including: 1. mash feed, 2. heated-mash feed, 3. mash feed in starter and grower and pellet feed in finisher, 4. mash feed in starte...

a trial was conducted to evaluate the performance of broiler birds which supplemented with a commercial inactivated probiotic. four hundred and fifty day old broiler chickens were allocated into 3 treatments with 6 replicates each. each replicate was placed on clean wood shavings in floor pens receiving feed and water ad libitum. in treatment 1, feed was supplemented with 500 g/ton of a heat-in...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of artichoke powder on performance and immune function of Japanese quails poisoned with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). One hundred meat type (1-d-old) quails were assigned randomly to 4 treatment groups (n=25). Treatment groups included with the study were: 1) control group (without artichoke supplementation or CCl4 administration, 2) group with...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of garlic powder (GP) black seed (BS) and plant premix (GP and BS) in the diet on broiler growth performance and intestinal morphology. included 480 Hubbard broiler chicks(day-old). There were 4 treatment groups each consisting of 3 replicates. The four dietary treatments consisted of a control (basal diet), basal diet +0.5% GP, basal diet +0....

a total of 240 ross 308 day-old male broiler chicks within a completely randomized design were used in this experiment to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of turmeric powder and cinnamon powder on performance and some immune responses of broiler chickens. dietary treatments were as follow: a corn-soybean meal basal diet (control); basal diet + 10 ppm avilamycin; basal diet + 2.5 g/kg t...
