three-hundred and twenty 7-day-old ross 308-strain broiler chickens were fed diets containing 0 or 125 ppb aflatoxin b 1 (afb1) from 7 to 28 days of age. sodium bentonite (0.5%), yeast (saccharomyces cervisiae) 0.2%, hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (hscas) (0.5%), ammonia (0.5%), formycine (0.1%), and toxiban (0.1%) were added to the basal diet, as fed basis to determine the effects of ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of male broiler chickens in the period from 21 to 42 days of age fed diets with increasing levels of sunflower meal (sm) supplemented with an enzyme complex (ec). a total of 1920 animals of the cobb strain were distributed in a randomized block design in a 4 × 3 factorial arrangement (four sm levels and three enzymes utilization types)...

Two hundred eighty days old male broiler chicks(Ross strain) were randomly distributed into seven groups with four replicates (10 birds in each replicate) and were fed diets supplemented with different dietary fat sources.The results indicated that the different dietary treatments did not affect weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio at 21 d (P>0.05). However, addition of dietary fa...

this research was conducted to compare the effects of two medicinal plants (peppermint and aloe vera) and antibiotic growth promoter on ileum microflora population and growth performance of broiler chickens. in this experiment, 375 one-day old male broiler chickens (ross 308) were used on a completely randomized design with 5 dietary treatments which were replicated 5 times with 15 birds per re...

in order to determine the optimal levels of energy and protein in grower diet of japanese quail, 360 dayold japanese quails were used in a 3×3 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments that comprised threelevels of metabolisable energy (2750, 2850, and 2950 kcal/kg) and three levels of crude protein (24, 26and 28 percent) with four replicates per treatment in a completely randomized design. f...

digestibility in broiler chickens fed on corn-soybean meal based diets. the experimental diets consisted of 1.corn-soybean meal based control diet 2. control diet supplemented with pectinas, 3. control diet supplemented with cellulase, 4. control diet supplemented with pectinase + cellulose, 5. control diet supplemented with pectinase + hemicellulase and 6. control diet supplemented with pectin...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of adding ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) and cumin essential oil (CEO) to diets of broiler chicks on the performance, blood parameters, immune response and carcass traits. A total of 240 day-old Ross-308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four treatments with six replicates and 10 birds in each replicate in a completely randomized desi...
