This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 3 rearing systems ( FL : flooring litter rearing, MC multilayer cage PN plastic net rearing) with or without supplemental narasin on growth performance, gastrointestine development and health broilers. A total 2,400 one-day-old Ross 308 mixed-sex broilers (1:1 ratio males females) were used in a completely randomized design utilizing × 2 facto...

The efficacy of varying levels mycotoxin binder supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics and serum metabolites broiler chickens fed aflatoxin maize-based diets was assessed. A total four hundred thirty-two (432), one-day-old Hubbard Cobb hybrid broilers were used for the experiment. chicks equally weighed allotted to 12 dietary treatments in a 3 x 4 factorial arrangement a...

background: colibacillosis in poultry, reduces growth and performance, increases mortality and causes economic losses. objectives: an experiment was conducted to study the effect of egg yolk powder and antibody (igy) on intestinal morphology and reduction of bacterial colonization in broilers infected with e. coli. methods: ten laying hens were immunized with e. coli o2: k1. the eggs were colle...

The study evaluated the effect of a novel commercial preparation of natural blend of essential oils from basil, caraway, laurel, lemon, oregano, sage, tea, and thyme (Tecnaroma Herbal Mix PL) on growth performance, blood biochemistry, cecal morphology, and carcass quality of broilers. Six nutritionally adequate wheat and soybean-based diets were generated by the addition of Tecnaroma Herbal Mix...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of sodium nitrate consumption on egg quality and quantity, and some blood parameters of native breeder hens of West Azerbaijan province. One hundred native hens were used from wk 25 to 32 of age. These birds were divided into two groups. One group was fed the control diet (CD) but the other fed the same diet supplemented with 4.2 g/kg sodium nitra...

The effects of increasing aflatoxin B1 concentration (0, 0.75, 1.5 mg/kg) on broilers with or without necrotic enteritis or virginiamycin were determined. In the 23-d study, 22 male Cobb 500 chicks per pen were allotted to 12 treatments (3 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement) with 8 replications. Intestines of 5 birds per pen were examined for lesions on d 21. Birds were allowed to consume feed and w...

In this experiment 240 Hy-Line (W-36) laying hens from 65 to 75 weeks distributed in 5 treatments and 4 replicates (12 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design were used. The amounts of watermelon skin meal (WSM) used to set the treatments were 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% in 1 to 5 experimental groups. The results showed that using WSM up to 2% significantly improved the performance and...

Essential oils (EO) and short-chain fatty acids have potential antimicrobial activity in broilers. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a specific blend of EO and a combination of this blend of EO with sodium-butyrate on growth performance and Salmonella colonization in broilers. A total of 480 one-day-old male broilers were distributed into 5 treatments (8 pens per treatment and 12 bi...
