chukar partridge raising is a profitable business. new feed additives of plant origin may be an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. this study was carried out to determine the effect of different levels of pistacia atlantica oil on performance and pathological conditions in chukar partridge. one-day-old chukar partridge chicks were assigned to three dietary treatments of 40 birds each. ...

the aims of this study were the comparative study of probiotic, acidifier,antibiotic growth promoters and prebiotic on activity of humoral immune and performance parameters of broiler chickens.500 one day old male broilers (308 ross strain) were divided into 5 groups: a, b, c, d and e. each group with equal numbers of male included 4 replicates (25 chicks per replicate). group a was as control ...

Sir, I was dismayed to see that Phillips et al. were defending what nearly all microbiologists know are grave abuses of antibiotics— their continuous use in feed as growth promoters and the needless widespread use of broad spectrum agents (fluoroquinolones). This is despite their acknowledgement that ‘the more an antibiotic is used, the more likely are resistant populations to develop’ and that...

the present experiment was carried out to determine the effects of  antibiotic  growth promoters, blend of medicinal plants, prebiotic and organic acid on performance and nutrients apparent digestibility in a six week period, using one hundred ninety two one- day- old broiler chicks (cobb 500) on a randomized complete block design experiment with six treatments consisting of 4 replications and ...

this experiment was conducted in order to determine the effects of different dietary growth promoters on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in male broiler chickens. a total of 360 male broiler chicks (day-old ross 308 strain) were distributed into a completely randomized design (crd) having 6 dietary treatments with four replicates and 15 birds in each replicate. experimental treatm...

Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) are commonly used within poultry farming to increase muscle growth. Microbial composition in the gut is known be influenced by AGP use although exact AGP-induced changes remain unclear.

an experiment was conducted to assess the influences of different growth promoters on performance, carcass characteristic and intestinal microflora of broiler. day-old broiler chicks from arian strain (384) were used in the completely randomized experimental design during 7-42 days of age. eight rations were formulated as a follow 1: control (without growth promoters); 2-control + formic acid (...
