to investigate the effect of cinnamon, turmeric and carnation powders on growth performance, carcass characteristics, morphological and ph changes of intestine and blood serum oxidation status in broilers, 450 unsexed ross 308 day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted in a completely randomized design with six treatments, five replicates and 15 birds per each replicate, for 42 days. the bro...

three hundred and sixty broiler chicks (ross 308) were employed in an experiment from 6 to 49 days of age to evaluate the effect of replacing canola meal for soybean meal either with or without enzyme supplementation. dietary treatments included 5 substitution levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) at two enzyme concentrations of: 0 and 400 g/ton in a 5×2 factorial layout experiment. the enzyme mixtur...

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...

some reports indicate a wide range for zn requirements for broiler chickens i.e. from 10.6 to 105 mg kg-1. a number of factors other than dietary zn concentration determine the need for supplementation, principally dietary phytate. therefore, the objective of the present investigation was reevaluation of the zinc requirement for broiler, fed practical diet supplemented with phytase in a dose-re...

This study conducted to evaluate the effect of prebiotics (Fermacto) and isoleucine and their combination on performance and some blood parameters of broiler chickens during finisher period. At the first of experiment 300 one-day-old mixed Ross broiler chicks reared in same condition according to Ross manual guide up to 21 days old. Chicks at 21 day old were randomly allocated to 20 groups of 1...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of date pits (DP) to reduce the deleterious effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in broiler chicks. A total of 216 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were distributed randomly for nine treatments (with four replicates and six birds in each) for 35 days. The experiment included a 3×3 factorial arrangement of treatments involving three levels of...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of three different fat sources and their combination on growth performance, carcass traits and intestinal measurements of broiler chickens reared to 42 d of age. Two hundred day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to one of five treatments with four replicates of 10 chicks based on a completely randomized design. The dietar...

the effects of phytase and glycosidase supplementation to diets containing rice bran on broiler performance were investigated by using 200 day old (308 ross) broiler chicks in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replicates. the five dietary treatments were as: corn-soybean meal based diet; diet containing rice bran; diet containing rice bran supplemented with natafous; ...

two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of thyroxin in ovo injection and post hatch arginine feed supplementation on performance and cold tolerance acquisition in broilers. in experiment 1, a total of 2400 hatchings eggs were randomly assigned to four treatments: positive controls (intact or pricked with a needle), negative control (intact egg), injected with distilled water and ...

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...
