this study investigates the effects of garlic extract on salinity and ph stress resistance of white leg shrimp post larvae (0.1±0.01 g). the experiment was carried out on the basis of completely random model with 5 dietary treatments which include 0 (control treatment), 1cc (treatment 1), 2cc (treatment 2), 4cc (treatment 3) and 8cc (treatment 4) per 100g food in triplicate. 1500 shrimps were r...

The effect of dietary thyme-oil extract (TOE) supplementation on immune functions of broilers were assessed by feeding graded levels (50, 100, 200, or 400 ppm) of TOE to male broiler chicks during a 42-d feeding trial compared with negative- or positive-control diets. Dietary control treatments included a negative-control diet with no feed-additive supplementation and 2 positive-control groups ...

A total of 144 pigs ((Landrace×Yorkshire)×Duroc] with an average initial BW of 8.45±0.57 kg were used in a 5-wk growth trial. Pigs were randomly allocated to 4 treatments with 9 replications per pen in a randomized complex block design. Dietary treatments included: i) CON (basal diet), ii) ANT (CON+tylosin 1 g/kg), iii) H1 (CON+H. cordata 1 g/kg) and iv) T1 (CON+T. officinale 1 g/kg). In this s...

A total of 224 pigs (PIC 327 × 1050, initially 241.1 lb) were used in a 20-d trial to determine the optimum dietary CP concentration for growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs. Pens of 7 pigs were allotted by BW and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments with 7 or 8 replications per treatment. Dietary treatments included 4 levels of CP (10, 11, 12, and 13%) tha...

OBJECTIVE This experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of rapeseed meal (RSM) supplementation in weaning pig diet on growth performance, blood profile, carcass characteristics and economic analysis on weaning to finishing pigs. METHODS A total of 120 cross bred ([Yorkshire×Landrace]×Duroc) weaning pigs were allotted to 5 treatments in a randomized complete block design. Each tre...

A total of 144 ((Duroc×Yorkshire)×Landrace)) pigs with an average initial BW of 28.85±0.63 kg were used in this 6-wk growth trial. Pigs were randomly allotted to 1 of 4 treatments in a completely random block design. Each dietary treatment consisted of 9 replicate pens, with 4 pigs per replicate. Dietary treatments included: i) NC (basal diet), ii) PC (NC+apramycin 0.5 g/kg), iii) BPT1 (NC+bact...

the effect of dietary terbutaline, a beta adrenergic agonist, on carcass characteristics and blood attributes in 288 japanese quails was studied from 21 through 49 days of age. dietary treatments included four levels of terbutaline [0 (t0), 1 (t1), 3 (t3), and 5 (t5) mg/kg of the diet]. quails were bled at the end of the trial for biochemical assays and the carcass characteristics were then mea...

this experiment was conducted with broiler chickens to evaluate the effects of high and low swelling bentonite (natural and processed by cuso4) supplementation in diets on performance and carcass traits. a total of 300 day-old aryan broiler’s chicks were used in a completely randomized design with 5 dietary treatments. six pen replicates of 10 chicks were assigned to each of five dietary treatm...
