The tr...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of pomegranate by- product (PBP) on performance, egg quality and blood parameters in laying hens. A total of 144 Bobze layer hens from 44 to 56 weeks during 12 weeks were randomly assigned into 4 treatments including 0 (control, corn and soy bean meal), 4, 8 and 12% of PBP, with 4 replicates and 9 layers in each. Res...

rice bran (rb) is a major by-product, produced from the rice milling process. this study was conducted to evaluate the performance, egg quality, and blood biochemical parameters of 288 hy-line laying hens fed diets with rice bran and commercial microbial phytase natuphos®5000. the experiment was a 4×2 factorial one with four rb levels (0, 5, 10, and 15%) by two phytase levels (0 and 5000 ftu/kg...

two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of purslane powder and its effects on performance, egg quality and reproductive system parameters of laying hens. one hundred and twenty laying hens (leghorn, hy-line w-36) were used in a completely randomized design with four treatments and five replicates. hens received diet supplemented with different levels of purslane powder ...

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of different levels of tomato pomace (DTP) with different multi enzymes on the performance and egg quality of laying hens at the first phase of production. In this experiment 432 hens were used in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 4×4, with four levels of tomato pomace (0, 4, 8 and 12) and different enzymes (without...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of using of zizaphora (thymyus valgaris), peppermint (lamiaceae menthapiperita), menta pulagum (oreganum valgare) medicinal plants on performance, egg quality, blood and immunity parameters of laying hens. this experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 288 of hy line (w-36) laying hens in 8 treatments and 3 replicates (...

an experiment employing a factorial arrangement of three levels (0, 8 and 16%) of canola meal (cm), two levels (0.15 and 0.25%) of nonphytate phosphorus (npp), and two levels (0 and 450 unit/kg; as fed basis) of microbial phytase was conducted using 216 hy-line w36 laying hens from 39 to 47 weeks of age. the birds receiving cm consumed more (p < 0.05) feed than birds receiving corn-soybean meal...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of sumac fruit powder (SFP; Rhus coriaria L.) supplementation on productive performance, egg quality traits and serum biochemical parameters in old laying hens. One-hundred-twenty, 54 weeks Hy-line W36 strain-laying hens were assigned three treatments, five replicates eight per replicate a completely randomised design. Experimental diets included: (1)...
