the current study was conducted to evaluate effects of sequential or wet feeding programs subsequent to and early meal feeding regime on performance, carcass characteristics and humoral immunity in broiler chicks. 192 ross 308 chicks (seven-day old) were allocated to four treatments at four replicates (12 chicks per plot) based on a completely randomized design. treatments were included: contro...

the objective of this study was to evaluate whether the adverse effects of high dietary rice bran (rb) inclusion levels on the feed intake, performance, bone status and nitrogen (n) retention of broilers could be mitigated by wet feeding. giving a completely randomized design experiment in 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, seventy two broiler chickens, managed in 24 floor pens received one of the tw...

twenty-four 35-day-old lambs were distributed to a completely randomized design with 3 treatments to study the effects of number of feeding buckets per pen on performance, haematology and behaviour indicators. treatments consisted of 8 (t1), 4 (t2) or 2 (t3) feeding buckets/pen (8 lambs/pen). during the experiment, concentrate was fed at 08:30 in individual feeders. daily dry matter intake (dmi...

the eggs and larvae of the indian meal moth, plodia interpunctella (hübner), are widely used in mass rearing of parasitoids and predators. feeding indices and some biological parameters of p. interpunctella were studied on bran of different wheat cultivars ('back-cross roshan', 'khooshe pishgam', 'khoshki line 9', 'arg', 'alvand', 'pishtaz', 'ws-89-2', 'sepahan' and 'bam') when incorporated int...

effect of dietary prebiotic mannan oligosaccharide and β-1,3 glucan on growth performance, bodycomposition and immunity response of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated for asix week culture period. four feeding strategies were set, including feeding prebiotic-free dietcontinuously (control), feeding dietary prebiotic continuously (t1), feeding dietary alternately (oneweek preb...

nutritional indices of helicoverpa armigera (hübner) larvae, an economic insect pest of agricultural crops in the world, were studied on five corn hybrids (sc700, sc704, sc500, dc370 and sc260) when incorporated into artificial diets under laboratory conditions at 25 ± 1 °c, relative humidity of 65 ± 5% and a photoperiod of 16:8 (l: d) h. the highest values of consumption index (ci) and relativ...

oral feeding difficulties are common in children with cerebral palsy (cp). the effect of oral-motor dysfunction on feeding problems has been proved in several studies. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of oral sensorimotor stimulations on feeding performance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. a total of 12 children with spastic cerebral palsy underwent 24 session...
