in this research, we investigated the effects of medicinal plants, prebiotic and probiotic as alternatives to antibiotics on the growth performance, immune response and blood cholesterol in broilers. a total of 288 one- day-old broiler chicks (cobb 500) were randomly assigned to 6 treatments and replicated 4 times with 12 chicks per pen in a completely randomize design experiment in 6 wk. diet ...

The present study was carried out to determine the effects of fenugreek powder (FP) and extract (FE) on performance, egg quality, blood parameters and immune responses of laying hens. One-hundred and fifty Leghorn laying hens were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates for eight weeks. Treatments were various levels of FP and FE including zero (control; ...

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...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the form of diets with different levels of protein and energy on broilers performance at the end of the third week. A total of 2800 male broiler chicks were fed with two forms of diet (mash and crumble-pellet), two levels of protein (23% and 21% CP), and two levels of energy (3200 and 3000 Kcal/Kg ME) from 1 to 21 days of age. The bodyw...

A total of 1500 day old broiler chicks were grouped into five treatments; each treatment group further consisted six replicates. Group was given a control diet having antibiotics. B and C offered essential oil blend at the proportion 0.1 g/kg organic acid dose rate 1g/kg. D both 1g/kg in combination. E only basal without antibiotics considered as negative control. The trial lasted for 35 days. ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of scent leaf meal on growth performance, blood and serum parameters growing cockerels. A total ninety-six (96) Isa-brown day-old cockerel chicks were used in a completely randomized design experiment. The birds randomly allotted four dietary treatments consisting basal diets supplemented with (SLM) at rate 0% (control), 1%, 2% 3% representing T1,...
