The article presents the results of research on linear growth young sheep grown diets enriched with a mineral phytobiotic additive. Indexes body structure have been determined, which make it possible to establish relative development individual parts animals’ body. Body indexes characterize sex, age and constitutional characteristics animals their typical differences great importance for charac...

Lucerne, a valuable plant grown mainly for animal feed, is rich in protein, minerals (Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, Zn, Si), vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, K, U), phytochemical substances (carotene, chlorophyll, coumarins, isoflavones, alkaloids, saponins), contains secondary metabolites of plants (phytoestrogens: isoflavones and coumestrol), and antinutritional components (phytates, L-canavanine, saponins)...

Background: In broiler production, antibiotics are used to prevent/control infectious diseases and as a growth promoter. The incorrect application of increases the risk residues in chicken tissues. human’s continuous exposure antibiotic residue containing meat results antimicrobial resistance. So demand towards free is increasing. this condition studies related with alternatives feeding broiler...

In the different livestock production systems, feed represents highest percentage of investment in poultry production. Producers are constantly seeking to improve their productive parameters by using additives, among most used antibiotic growth promoters. Ecuador, many plant species can be as a source nutrients or medicinal additives. The objective this research was determine effect addition gu...

This study was conducted to assess the effect of Citrus limon powder (CLP) as immune-enhancer phytobiotic of growing New Zealand White rabbits (NZW). Forty eight growing rabbits were randomly allocated to three equal groups in a Randomized Complete Design (RCD). Rabbit groups were fed a basal diet served as control group, while the other two groups were fed basal diet mixed with CLP dosed at 10...

Sanguinarine (SA), a phytobiotic from Sanguinaria Canadensis, has been demonstrated to inhibit vessel growth. Current restrictions on the use of antibiotic growth promoters have motivated addition of this alkaloid as a naturally appetizing feed additive for farm animals. However, concern may araise since angiogenesis is a fundamental event in ovarian follicle growth. Therefore, the aim of this ...
