This research was conducted to investigate the effect of inclusion of wheat bran (as a source of insoluble fiber) in a barley-based diet, fed from 11 to 42 d of age, on villus morphology of jejunum, serum cholesterol level, abdominal fat pad and growth performance of broiler chickens. Three hundred and thirty six 10-d-old female Ross 308 chicks were allocated to six diets with four replicates o...

the effects of monesin and propylene glycol on feed intake, milk production, and composition as well as some blood metabolites of 16 primiparous and multiparous holstein lactating cows (60±30 days in milk (dim), milk production of 33±3 kg/day) were evaluated. cows were experimentally in a arranged in a randomized complete block design of: 4 feeding treatments, and 2 blocks of either primiparous...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of broiler breeder feeding management practices on pullet performance, BW uniformity, and carcass traits during rearing (to 22 wk of age). At 3 wk of age, 1,200 Ross 308 breeder pullets were assigned to one of 5 treatments: 1) control: standard mash diet, fed daily; 2) high fiber: mash diet containing 25% lower nutrient density, fed daily; 3) scat...

This study was conducted to assess the effect of ginger supplementation on malondialdehyde (MDA) level, as an oxidative stress marker, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in broiler chicks. Two hundred male 1-day-old chicks were assigned randomly to four dietary treatments (basal diet as control group and basal diet containing 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 g/kg ginger, respectively), with five replicates a...

A study was conducted to compare the effects of iron hydrogen phosphate nanoparticles (FeHPO4) with iron sulfate (FeSO4-7H2O) on growth performance, carcass characteristics and mineral content of breast muscle in broiler chickens. A total of 200 one-day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were assigned randomly into four dietary groups with five replications of ten...

The aim of this study was to determine whether the age of broilers can influence their response to tannin-rich diets. A total of 340 one-day-old mixed sex Ross 308 broiler chicks were distributed among five experimental groups with four replicates and 17 birds each in a completely randomized design. A high-tannin feedstuff, Oak acorn, was included into diets (at a level of 25%) and fed to birds...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate Japanese quail performance under phase feeding CP regimes during growing and laying periods. A total number of 480 unsexed day-old Japanese quail chicks were equally divided into 4 groups of 3 replicates each. Four iso-caloric starter-grower basal diets (2900 Kcal ME/Kg diet) containing 24, 22, 20 and 18% CP were formulated. Four iso-caloric layer basal d...

effects of different levels of dietary nucleotides (nt) were studied on muscle amino acid profile of rain bow trout with an average weight 11.35±0.32 over 8 weeks. this experimental was carried out in 700 l circular tanks with 40 fish per tank. nt was added to the diet at the rates of 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%. fish were fed 5 times a day at a rate of 3-5% body weight. after 8 weeks of feed...
