Aim: The objective was to study the growth performance of the broiler birds after feeding Okara meal containing with or without non-starch polysaccharides degrading enzyme. Materials and Methods: 220 day-old broiler chicks were individually weighed and divided randomly into five treatment groups (T , T , T , T and T ) consisting of 44 chicks each which was further subdivided into four replicate...

Eimeria tenella is one of the important species as it causes caecal coccidiosis in chickens. Coccidiosis is believed to be controlled effectively using vaccines. The present study investigated the prophylactic efficacy of two locally prepared vaccines against caecal coccidiosis in broiler chicken. Broiler chicks (n = 80) were divided in four different groups A, B, C and D (n = 20 birds/group), ...

Background & Aim: This experiment was conducted to examine the effect of different levels of Echinacea purpurea (EP) in comparison with an antibiotic (flavofosfolipol) on total antioxidant activity (AOA) in serum of broiler chicks. Experimental: In this trial 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were weighed and randomly assigned to the 5 treatment groups, each with 4 re...

To investigate the covariation of adult body condition and nestling growth, we weighed adult Brünnich’s Guillemots Uria lomvia rearing chicks at Coats Island, Nunavut, Canada, each year between 1988 and 2002. We estimated chick mass at 14 days for a sample of chicks reared in the same years. Adult mass and chick mass at 14 days were highly correlated, suggesting that, as feeding conditions dete...

One hundred, one-day-old male broiler chicks (Faobrow CD), were randomly assigned to 5 treatments (20 birds/treatment). Treatment groups were; Control diet without yeast addition (treatment 1), baker yeast 0.5% (treatment 2), baker yeast 1% (treatment 3), baker yeast 1.5% (treatment 4), baker yeast 2 % (treatment 5). Chicks were reared for 21 days. Body weight, feed consumption and feed convers...
