this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of onion extract on growth performance, carcass characteristics and some blood metabolites in ross and cobb broiler chickens. one hundred sixty, 1-d-old broiler chickens (mean initial weight: 36.5 ± 1 g) of male sex (ross-308 and cobb) were randomly conducted as randomized complete design with 4 treatment and 4 replication. the experimental grou...

Recent decades were characterized by genetic selection of broiler and layer chickens for enhanced growth rate and meat yield or intensified egg production, respectively. It is to be expected that genetic selection for various traits would also influence embryo development and growth patterns that affect metabolism. The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of broiler (Cobb a...

the objective of this experiment was comparison blood serotonin levels in ascetic and non ascitic broilers of three strains (ross, arbor acres plus and cobb). to this purpose, a factorial test in crd was applied. in each of these three strains, 12 ascitic and 12 non ascitic broilers were selected. after tagging and blood sampling, all of blood samples were divided in two parts. one part was app...

The objective of this study was to assess the hatch window, hatchability and quality broilers` chick obtained from different breeder strains in a commercial hatchery. A total 57 600 hatching eggs (28 800 per strain) were collected flocks Cobb 500 Ross 308 broiler parent stocks at 60-61 weeks age. Each strain randomly coded as B strain. mean value eggshell temperature found be higher Strain (101...

this study was conducted to compare susceptibility of six different strains of male broilers to ascites syndrome. in this experiment, 612 one-day-old male broiler chicks from five international hybrids (e.g, arbor acres, cobb 500, hubbard, lohmann, and ross 508) and an iranian hybrid (arian) were used. growth performance, ascites mortality ratio, the ratio of right ventricle to total ventricles...

modern strains of broiler are highly susceptible to heart failure. heart related mortalities are observed predominantly in fast growing broiler chickens. the aim of this study was to investigate serotonin levels in ascitic and non ascitic broilers of three strains (ross, arbor acres plus and cobb). in this respect, a factorial test in crd method applied for the statistical analyses. in each of ...

A progressive selection for broiler live and processing performance traits has changed broiler growth patterns during the post hatch period. However, limited information is available to understand whether changes have also occurred during the embryonic stages. This study aims to examine influences of broiler strain on nutrient availability, embryonic development, and nutrient metabolism during ...

Broiler performance is known to be related to embryonic developmental parameters. However, strain or genotype differences with regard to embryo physiological parameters and juvenile growth have received little attention. A total of 1,200 hatching eggs produced by Cobb and Ross broiler breeders of the same age were studied. At setting for incubation and between 66 and 130 h of incubation, egg re...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different commercial multi enzymes and nutrients levels of diets on performance and carcass traits of broilers. in this experiment 288 day old ross – 308 broilers (male and female) were used as (2*4) factors include: two levels of nutrients in diets (ross- 308 nutrients recommendation and 5% less than ross- 308 nutrients recommendation) a...
