a total of 240 japanese quail chicks (1 d old) were used in a 42-d trial to study the effects of artichoke leaf powder and vitamin e on growth performance and meat quality. this experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with 4 replicates of 15 quails in each, using a 4×2 factorial arrangement with diet and gender as the main effects. four dietary treatments were formulated by a...

studies related to the second language acquisition have frequently focused on the role of mother tongue. since the learner’s knowledge in the first language provides a basis to compare it with that of second language, it is assumed that being aware of the learner’s prior knowledge is affective in the syllabus design which itself is a crucial element in teaching. in this study personal pronouns ...

colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic escherichia coli (apec) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of e. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. the apec strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. the purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes and phylogenetic gr...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the additional effects of two ground medicinal herbs oat bran (OB) and dill seed (DS) on serum lipids, carcass characteristics and growth performance in Japanese quails. A total of 240-twenty one day of age male Japanese quails were allocated randomly to 3 treatments with 4 replicates of 20 birds per cage. Birds during the 22-49 days on trial received 3 d...
