to study the possible use of phytase and yeast (saccharomyces cervisiae) in corn-soy bean meal base diet with different levels of available phosphorous in arbor acers broiler chicks, an experiment was conducted with 264 day old chicks of an average weight of 44.6 grams each. a completely randomized design of 6 treatments and 4 replications (11 chicks per replicate) for periods of starter, growe...

Purpose: Cognitive deficit is one of the common comorbidity accompanying epilepsy. The present study evaluated the effect of Celastrus paniculatus (C- paniculatus) seed extract on seizure severity and cognitive deficit following Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) -induced chemical kindling model. Methods: PTZ kindling model was developed by daily administration of sub-convulsive dose of PTZ 30 mg/kg for...

Background & Aim: Medicinal plants is very potential to be used as a supplementary feed as well as feed additive in broilers.This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of milk thistle (MT) and thyme seeds (TS) on the performance in broilers. Experimental: In this study, 160 one-day-old (Ross 308) male broiler chicks were divided randomly into four major groups with 4 replicates b...

in this experiment, randomized complete block design with four replications was used for evaluating of the effect of three feeding methods including: without feed restriction (control group), 6 hours feed restriction from 7 to 21 days and 4 hours from 22 to 28 days, 6 hours feed restriction from 7 to 14 days and 4 hours from 15 to 21 days on performance and ascites prevention of arian male broi...

Aflatoxins, especially aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), can be greater in dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) because it can be concentrated during the ethanol production process. Increased use of DDGS in swine diets could potentially lead to an increased incidence of aflatoxicosis, a disease associated with decreased feed intake, reduced BW gain, and impaired liver function. The objective of this...

in this experiment two hundreds one day old broiler chicks (ross 308) in 5 treatments and 4 replicates were used based a completely randomized design. experimental treatments were: control treatment (basal diet), clove essential oil (ceo) at different levels (100, 300 and 500 mg/kg + basal diet) and 600 mg/kg flavophospholipol antibiotics (fpa) + basal diet. results showed that feed intake was ...

introduction antibiotic feed additives have long been used as growth promoters in poultry nutrition. however, concern has been expressed about the potential development of antibiotic resistant bacteria (25). consequently, the animal feed industry, exposed to increasing consumer pressure to reduce the use of antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diets, has to find alternative feed additives. ma...
