Eighty black Nera cockerel chicks were randomly alloted to four dietarey treatmants containing 0, 10, 20 and 30% kolanut husk meal (KHM) for twelve weeks. Significant differences (P<0.05) in feed intake, weight gain conversion ratio observed. Dietary inclusion of KHM depressed growth rate nutrition uilization cockerels birds. There linear reduction (P>0.05) nitrogen retention apparent cru...

• It has been suggested that emotional stresses may be involved in the rate of development of atherosclerosis, may act to precipitate an acute arterial occlusion in the presence of atherosclerotic vascular disease, or, in the case of muscular organs like the heart, may serve to enhance the rate of activity of the organ beyond the capacity of the vasculature to prevent acute ischemia, thereby tr...

The aim of the study was to compare the growth performance and carcass quality of layer-type cockerels and broilers reared under identical conditions. A total of 180 one-day-old broiler male (BM), broiler female (BF) and brown layer male (LM) chicks were distributed into 9 floor pens in a completely randomized design, with 3 replicates of 20 birds per experimental unit. The body weights and fee...

The article presents the results of a comprehensive assessment possibility producing large meat chickens domestic and foreign crosses with cage method growing, considering separation by gender. highest broiler productivity index was 213 units, which is 27 units higher than when growing broilers cross. content histidine significantly in cross (by 0.50 g muscles cockerels 0.54 hens).

A diarrheagenic toxin from culture extracts of Aspergillus wentii Wehmer isolated from weevil-damaged Chinese chestnuts was identified as emodin (2-methyl-4,5,7-trihydroxyanthraquinone). The orange-red, crystalline toxin (mp 255 to 257 C) showed ultraviolet absorption maxima in ethyl alcohol at 223, 250, 267, 290, and 442 nm, and infrared absorption maxima at 3,400 cm-1 (OH), 1,635, and 1,625 C...

A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin on clinical symptoms and some haematological changes in mature six-month-old cockerels. Salmonella gallinarum endotoxin caused characteristic clinical symptoms, severe olygocytic hypochromic anaemia, leucocytosis and increased phagocytic function of leucocytes. Heterophilia was associated with relative lyphopeni...
