Two hundred and fifty male 1-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of turmeric and cinnamon powders on meat quality and lipid peroxidation of broilers under heat stress condition. The five treatment groups were control (recommended temperature for Ross 308), heat stressed (32 ± 1 ˚C from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM during finisher period) and h...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of purslane on immune responses and cecal microflora composition of broiler chickens. one hundred forty four day old broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated randomly in 3 groups and 4 replicates to receive diets supplemented with 0 (control), 1 and 2 % of dried purslane. at 21 and 35 days of age 1 ml of sheep red blood cell (srbc) injecte...

This study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary aspirin (A) on some performance traits in broilers using a completely randomized design, 120 one-day-old male broiler chicks Ross 308, three levels (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg), 4 replicates, each including 10 chicks, during 42 days. The effects different aspirin, added basal diet, performance, carcass characteristics, digestive organs wer...

This study evaluated the effects of elevated incubation temperature on posthatch nutrient transporter gene expression, integrity of the intestinal epithelium, organ development, and performance in Ross 308 broiler chickens. Ross × Ross 308 fertile eggs (n = 900) were incubated at different eggshell temperatures during development. From embryonic day (ED) 1 to ED12, all eggs were incubated at 37...

Ascites syndrome is indicating the abnormal accumulation of non-inflammatory fluid in abdominal space. Hypoxia is the most important cause of pulmonary hyper blood pressure in broiler poultry. The aim of this study is a comparative survey of ascites syndrome incidence rate in Ross, Arbor-Acrese and Cobb strains of broiler chickens. For this purpose, 150 broiler male chicks of Ross, Cobb, and Ar...

this experiment was performed to investigate the effects of propolis and chromium picolinate on performance and immune response of broiler chicken under heat stress conditions. treatments included different levels of propolis (500, 1000, and 1500 mg/kg) and chromium picolinate (1500 µg/ kg) along with a control group. a completely randomized design was taken into account with 4 replicates of 10...

Abstract This experiment was conducted in the chickens field of Department Animal Production - College Agricultural Engineering Sciences University Baghdad, for period from 25/2/2022 to 1/4/2022. To study effect partial substitution fermented potato peeling powder instead yellow corn broiler food on productive performance, 231 (Ross 308) chicks were used experiment, distributed randomly seven t...

Lysine (Lys) and Methionine (Met) as two primary essential amino acids and precursors of carnitine biosynthesis are involved in most of economical traits function in domestic animals. We assessed the impact of dietary Lys and Met on the performance, lipid redistribution, intramuscular fat, carcass quality and especially phenotypic correlations among some studied parameters in broiler chickens. ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of savory (Satureja hortensis) powder and its essential oil on performance and antioxidant status of broiler chickens under heat stress (34±2 ˚C for 8 hours per day). A total of 336 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross-308) were divided into 6 treatments and 4 replications (14 birds per replicate). Experimental diets were a...

background: outbreak and spread of bacterial infections resulted in increasing use of antibiotics which subsequently leaded to bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics. objectives: to evaluate the effects of organic acids (selko-ph®), probiotic (primalac®) and echinacea purpurea (ep) alcoholic extract on the immune system of the broiler chickens, a completely randomized design experimen...
