This study used 300 one-day-old, sexless, developing chicks of Japanese quail to estimate the ability vitamin C and/or garlic antagonize venomous influence cadmium (Cd) on hematological, immunological, and performance characteristics quail. The was separated into five similar groups 60 apiece, six duplicates (10 each) were given each sub-group. control group received a basal diet without any supplements. Cd nourished with + 80 mg chloride (CdCl2)/kg diet. 3rd fed CdCl2 /kg complemented 200...

This work aimed to investigate the effects of dietary frankincense oil and ginger on growth efficiency growing Japanese quail, including live body weight, weight gain, feed intake, conversion ratio, carcass traits, physical characteristics meat. In total, 150 unsexed quail chicks that were seven days old utilized in experiment. The randomly divided into five groups. Each group was three replicates with ten birds a completely randomized design. Group 1 received basal diet without supplements...

This study explored the ability of formic acid (FA) to replace antibiotics in broiler chicken diets. It examined how FA affected chickens' growth, carcass characteristics, blood chemistry, and gut bacteria. The experiment randomly assigned 300 one-day-old (Ross 308) chicks 5 groups, each divided into six replicates with ten unsexed chicks. following were treatments: 1st group, negative control (NC): only received a basal diet; 2nd positive (PC): diet supplemented 0.5 grams Colistin®...

Bee pollen is a natural product that has valuable nutritional and medicinal characteristics recently garnered increasing attention in the food industry due to its nutritive value. Here, we harvested loads from Al-Ahsa oasis eastern Saudi Arabia during spring, summer, autumn, winter 2018/2019 compare value of bee protein with amino acid requirements honeybees adult humans. Based on protein, optimal season for harvesting was determined. The composition showed highest contents crude total...

Intestinal oxidative stress in broilers is produced by chronic heat (HS) and has a negative impact on poultry performance as it induces intestinal inflammation promotes the invasion of gram-negative bacteria, such bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Therefore, dietary inclusion antioxidant compound, ethoxyquin (EQ), could improve enteric capacity, immune responses, epithelial barrier, maintain symbiotic gut microbiota community. To investigate effects EQ supplementation alleviating...

This research evaluates the effect of dietary zinc oxide nanoparticles' (ZnO NPs) supplementation on growth performance, immunity, oxidative antioxidative properties, and histopathological picture broiler chicken reared in summer season. A total 224 1-day-old male Cobb chicks were randomly allocated to seven groups treatments (n = 32). Seven isocaloric isonitrogenous diets formulated. ZnO NPs added basal diet at different levels, 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 ppm/kg diet, respectively, for 35...

The objective of the current study was to ascertain effect using ginger powder or frankincense oil at different levels on production rate, biochemical properties blood, and immune response laying Japanese quail housed from 12 21 wk age. Three hundred sexually mature (200 females 100 males) were distributed among 5 groups age in a completely randomized design. Group 1: received basal diet not including additives acted as control group. Groups 2 3: with 250 500 mg ginger/kg feed, respectively....

The investigation examined the use of willow leaf extract (WLE) on broiler chickens, examining carcass characteristics, cecal microbiota, antioxidants, and blood parameters. In 4 groups 300 chicks, a basal diet was given for 5 wk, first treatment (C). diets remaining 3 treatments (WLE150, WLE300, WLE450) contained 150, 300, 450 mg /kg, respectively. study found that birds fed supplements had significantly greater body weight (BW), gain (BWG), enhanced feed conversion ratio (FCR) vs. control...
