The effects of Trigonella foenum graecum (TF) and Foeniculum vulgare (FV) seeds powder on antimicro-bial activity and performance of broiler chickens were studied. Based on a completely randomized design, 240 broiler chicks (Ross 308) were assigned to 4 treatments and 4 replicates. The treatments were a basal diet (control, T 1), T 1 plus 0.5% TF (T 2), T 1 plus 0.5% FV (T 3) and TFFV (0.25% TF...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of Myrtle Essential Oil (MEO) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, antibody titer and blood parameters of broiler chickens. A total of 200 Ross 308 broiler chickens were allocated to five dietary treatments with four replicates of 10 birds each. Dietary treatments were prepared by formulating a corn-soybean meal-based diet free o...

Effects of different levels of choline and garlic powder on performance, liver health and immune response in broiler chickens were evaluated in this study. A factorial experiment with 2 dietary choline levels (the recommended level in Ross 308 broiler guidelines and 25 % less than the recommendation) and 3 dietary garlic powder levels (0, 5 or 10 g/kg diet) was conducted using Ross 308 broiler ...

Current study showed the effect of adding synergistic mixture oyster mushrooms and beta-glucans on productive performance broilers under heat stress. 300 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308) were used randomly distributed to four-treatments. Control treatment was fed standard diet. While second, third fourth treatments starter ration with addition at level (0.5, 1, 1.5) g / kg. while 0.250, 0.5, 0.750...

the objective of the present study was to determine the effects of different levels of l-arginine in the diet on the growth performance, carcass traits, and blood parameters of female ross broiler chickens within their starter period. a number of, 192 day old female ross broiler chickens were fed with 4 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design, each dietary treatment had 4 replicati...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ractopamine, coenzyme Q and L-carnitine, 10 individually and in combination, on the hematological parameters of broiler chickens. A total of 512 one day-old male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were randomly divided to eight treatment groups. Each group had four replicates with 16 birds per each. Treatments were assigned as a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial ar...

A total of 448 Ross 308 male broiler chickens were assigned to seven treatments with four replicates, each containing 16 chicks. The birds were reared from d 21 to 42 and effects of physical sizes (ad libitum by a basal commercial broiler diet with 3050 Kcal/Kg ME and 19.06% CP/Kg from 21 to 42 d. The chickens which received clinoptilolite (1.5% with particle size of 0.4-0.8 mm) showed a signif...

this research project was conducted to evaluate bioavailability and chemical properties of different zinc sources in broiler chickens when fed by practical diets. for that, 312 day-old male ross 308 broiler chicks were fed from 8-28 day to estimate the biological availability of four zinc sources. chicks were allocated randomly to 13 experimental diets in a 3 × 4 factorial design. diets include...

a total of 448 ross 308 male broiler chickens were assigned to seven treatments with four replicates, each containing 16 chicks. the birds were reared from d 21 to 42 and effects of physical sizes (ad libitum by a basal commercial broiler diet with 3050 kcal/kg me and 19.06% cp/kg from 21 to 42 d. the chickens which received clinoptilolite (1.5% with particle size of 0.4-0.8 mm) showed a signif...
