six hundred 1-d-old male broilers (ross 308) were assigned to four experimental groups; each was composed of 5 floor pen replications of 30 birds including control (no enalapril), 15, 30 and 60 ppm enalapril in the drinking water. from d 21 to 49, all the chicks were exposed to low ambient temperature to induce ascites. mortalities were inspected to determine the cause of death and diagnose of ...

The effects of environmental temperature on growth and feed:gain were studied in three trials each for male and female broilers. Chicks were reared in a common environment to 21 d of age. At 21 d, they were randomly allocated to 10 environmental chambers. Each chamber was maintained at a constant temperature; the chambers ranged from 12 to 30 C in two-degree increments. The dewpoint was maintai...

AIM The aim of this study was the assessment of various levels of date palm kernel (DPK) on the growth performance of broilers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 250-day-old broiler chicks were randomly selected and categorized into five groups (50 chicks/group) contained A (control), B, C, D and E fed with 0%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% levels of DPK in balanced ration, respectively, for 6 weeks. Feed and wate...

ABSTRACT This study was designed to determine the effect of a combination propionic-acetic acid on body weight, relative weight some organs, lactic bacteria, and intestinal pH neonatal broilers. A total 60 1-day-old Ross 308® broiler chickens were randomly placed in metabolic cages two treatments, three replicates, ten birds per replicates. The treatments consisted control diet (CD) CD + 0.03% ...

Layers and broilers were concurrently intratracheally challenged with 0.5 mg Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 0.1 mg Human Serum Albumin (HuSA) at 3 weeks of age. Specific total and isotype-specific (IgM, IgG, IgA) Antibody (Ab) responses to HuSA during 3 weeks following immunization, cellular in vitro mitogen responses to Concanavalin A (Con A) and specific cellular responses in vitro to different...

The purpose was to determine the comparison of giving herbal herbs through feed and drinking water productivities broilers. research took place in Closed House Cage Animal Science Laboratory, Faculty Agriculture Science, University Muhammadiyah Malang, East Java, Indonesia. material Day Old Chick (DOC) broilers by number 200 water. treatment divided into two types as follows: Herbs (TA) (TB). T...

A 2 × 4 factorial experiment was conducted to determine the effects of dietary nutrient density on growth performance, small intestinal epithelial phosphate transporter expression, and bone mineralization of broiler chicks fed with diets with different nutrient densities and nonphytate phosphorus (NPP) levels. The broilers were fed with the same starter diets from 0 to 21 days of age. In the gr...

Molecular marker selection has been an acceptable tool in the acceleration of the genetic response of desired traits to improve production performance in chickens. The crossbreds from commercial parent stock (PS) broilers with four Thai synthetic breeds; Kaen Thong (KT), Khai Mook Esarn (KM), Soi Nin (SN), and Soi Pet (SP) were used to study the association among chicken growth hormones (cGH) a...
