Feeding trial was conducted in order to study the response of broilers to the different feed additives in combination with one another in order to know which combination of feed additives would give better response. The criteria of response included body weight gain, feed consumption, feed efficiency, cost of feed per kg, body weight gain and mortality. In the experiment Driselase, Biovin-40, N...

two hundred and twenty one-day male chicks (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and four replicates each to investigate the effects of the different levels of 0.15, 0.3 and 0.6 percent rosemary extract along with nitrate (27.4 mg sodium nitrate/liter water) in drinking water on growth, some blood parameters and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. no ...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of arc beak trimming on feed consumption, weight gain, and feed wastage in males and females from two large-bodied strains and one medium-bodied strain of turkeys. Birds were placed in wire-floored battery cages from 3 to 8 wk of age and feed intake, weight gains, and feed spilled into dropping pans were recorded for each of the 5 wk of each tria...

Two experiments (EXP) were conducted to evaluate the interactive effects of dietary AME and amino acid (AA) density (total basis) on broiler chickens from 42 to 56 d of age. In EXP 1, diets were formulated to contain low AME (3,140 kcal/kg) and moderate AME (3,240 kcal/kg) in combination with moderate AA (16.2% CP, 0.88% Lys, and 0.75% TSAA) and high AA (18.0% CP, 0.98% Lys, and 0.83% TSAA) and...
