An experiment was conducted to determine the digestible amino acids requirements of broilers based on different ideal amino acid ratios for male and female broiler chicks during finisher period. Experimental period began at day 29 and lasted in 42 d of age. A total of 720 male and female broiler chicks were equally distributed to 12 dietary treatments with 15 birds per pen and 4 pens per treatm...

This study investigated the effects of dietary lactulose supplementation on broiler growth performance, intestinal histomorphology, cecal microflora, and cecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations. A total of 245 one-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly assigned to 5 different treatments, with 7 replicates including 7 birds each. The birds received the same basal diet based on co...

Drastic genetic changes have occurred in many commercial broiler lines during the last years with regard to performance. This genetic improvement needs a corresponding adjustment of our knowledge about amino acid nutrition in broilers. Additionally, today broiler feed formulators are not only focused on minimising the costs. They also have to take into consideration environmental issues and the...

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect areca nut powder on broiler performance and index (IP). conducted 200 DOC reared up 28 days old. This used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments 5 replications. treatment given addition in ration. consisted control, 1.5%, 3% 4.5% powder. Variables included feed consumption, body weight gain, final weight, conversion, results indica...

A study was conducted for six weeks period to evaluate the effect of meat byproduct Sinews on commercial broiler performance in a total of 270 unsexed Vencobb chicks. The experimental feeds were prepared by including sinews at zero per cent (controlT1), 2 per cent (T2) and 4 per cent (T3) level in the feed. Addition of two per cent inclusion of Sinews in broiler chicken diet did not showed sign...

this experiment was conducted to compare the effects of prebiotic as alternative feed additive to an antibiotic growth promoter (bacitracin methylene disalicyate) on the growth performance and morphometrical parameters of the small intestine of broiler chickens. one hundred and forty four day old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments for 6 wk and each treatmen...

the present study conducted to investigate the effect of energy sources and levels on performance and breast meat amino acids profile in cobb 500 broiler chicks. a total of 600 1-day-old cobb 500 broiler chicks with an average weight of 39 ± 0.50 g were randomly divided into five treatments. each treatment was further divided into four replicates. chicks were fed a basal diet based on corn and ...

background: since the prohibition of antibiotic growth promoter in poultry ration by the european :union:, poultry producers have been  trying to replace them by other growth promoters like medicinal herbs. lipia citridora is a medicinal  herb enriched by several powerful phenolic compounds and with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which lead to enhancing appetite and growth performance...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (dlp) on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of broilers. in this experiment 240 of broilers (ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. experimental diets included: 1) ...
