To evaluate the effect of decreasing dietary protein on growth performance, carcass traits, and intestinal mucosal morphometry, 180 female Hubbard strain broiler chickens were divided into 3 groups fed isoenergetic diets ad libitum from 14 d age until slaughter (49 d). The treatments varied according to levels: high-protein diet (HiP, 22.5% CP, DM basis), medium-protein (MedP, 20.5% CP), low-protein (LowP, 18.5%). Diets obtained by replacing wheat middlings with soybean meal formulated meet...
This study was planned to evaluate the impact of different nano-curcumin levels on growth rate, carcass, blood chemistry and caecal microbes growing quail. A total 270 Japanese quails at one-week-old were distributed six equal groups; each group consisted 45 unsexed birds with five replications (nine each). The 1st fed a basal diet, whereas 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th 6th groups diets containing (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 0.5 g/kg respectively). Nano-curcumin significantly increased (p ≤ 0.0001) body weight...
This review paper provides an in-depth analysis of three critical metabolic diseases affecting dairy cattle such as subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), ketosis, and hypocalcemia. SARA represents a disorder fermentation that is characterized by extended periods depressed pH below 5.5–5.6. In the long term, herds experiencing usually exhibit secondary signs disease, episodes laminitis, weight loss poor body condition despite adequate energy intake, unexplained abscesses 3–6 months after episode...
Two reviews are available in published literature relating to the effects of ascorbic acid on poultry performance. The first review was written by Pardue and Thaxton 1986 who reviewed role alleviating negative effect heat stress birds. second presented Whitehead Keller 2003, detailed general birds, not taking into consideration 'heat stress'. is deficient after 1986, while does describe stressed present describes past knowledge birds with new aspects. Heat associated compromised performance...
AbstractHeat stress is associated with compromised performance and productivity in poultry due to declines feed intake, nutrient utilisation, growth rate, egg production quality, efficiency immunity. Additionally, heat characterised by reduced antioxidant status birds, resulting increased oxidative stress. Heat also linked economic losses mortality of birds. Vitamin E a major chain-breaking biological systems. An optimum response supplementation vitamin has been found improve body weight...
AbstractThere is growing interest in developing natural alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters order maintain both birds' performance and health. In the last decade, Turmeric has been extensively used poultry diets. a herb of ginger family, Zingiberaceae. Wide range medicinal properties this plant have advocated. feed, different concentrations, dosages durations. review, beneficial effects on growth, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, ameliorative effect liver health, immunomodulatory...
AbstractIn the last decade, there has been growing interest in use of natural herbs and medicinal plants as feed additives poultry diets to maximise their potential output. Ginger is one such rhizome with a wide range effects. In broilers layers, this plant used different forms, doses durations. review, documented effects ginger on intake conversion ratio, growth weight gain, carcass yield, egg production quality, antioxidants blood biochemistry, possible mechanisms action, are...
Abstract This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels sweet orange ( C itrus sinensis ) peel extract SOPE on humoral immune system responses in broiler chickens. Three hundred 1‐day broilers R oss‐308) were randomly allocated treatments varying supplemental added drinking water. The experimental groups consisted three fed for 42 days as follows: a control treatment without feed extract, containing 1000 ppm and 1250 . All isocaloric isonitrogenous. Broilers...
The use of essential oils in animal nutrition has attracted attention as a potential substitute for antibiotic growth promoters the past twenty-five years. This paper will review current scientific evidence on usage from Lamiaceae family members such Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Origanum vulgare (oregano), and Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) broiler terms production results, immunity, meat quality properties. Essential are effective when incorporated into diet variety levels, dietary...
Poultry researchers and nutritionists are looking for viable alternative feed additives since conventional supplements have been criticised their potential negative impact on the food chain. Among currently available poultry additives, natural herbs plants widely advocated due to reported widespread beneficial effects. Garlic (Allium sativum) is one such supplement which has recently as having a wide range of effects production performance physiological biochemistry broilers laying hens....
Due to the potentially undesirable effects of antibiotics as growth promoters in poultry production, researchers are looking for viable alternative limit or replace their use. One such class comparable is natural source herbs and medicinal plants. In last decade, these alternatives have been increasingly used broiler, layer Japanese quail diets. Reports variously claimed that plants, either whole plant, leaves flowers, can enhance performance. From available literature, it be concluded thyme...
This study was conducted to determine the effects of three different fat sources and their combination on growth performance, carcass traits intestinal measurements broiler chickens reared 42 d age. Two hundred day-old male chicks (Ross 308) were randomly assigned one five treatments with four replicates 10 based a completely randomized design. The dietary consisted 4% added from as follows: T, diet containing tallow; CO, canola oil; SFO, sunflower TCO, 2% tallow+2% TSFO, oil. Dietary type...
The present review discusses the existing research findings on nutritional impact of forages in poultry diet and significance sustainable production systems. composition antinutritional factors main pros cons feeding forage meat egg quality under free-range organic systems are also discussed. This highlights importance meals ration, considering that these feedstuffs may have greater value to success local many regions world due their potential production.
This work investigated the effect of dietary green coffee powder (GCP) on growth, body characteristics, antioxidant status, serum metabolites, and meat quality 308 Ross broiler chickens. A total 180 non-sexed seven-day old chicks were randomly distributed into three experimental groups. The untreated group received a basal diet (control), while second third groups fed original fortified with 1.25 2.5 g GCP/kg, respectively, for four weeks. Results revealed an improvement (p < 0.05) in...
This study was designed to determine the effects on laying performance and egg quality resulting from partial substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with low-fiber alfalfa (LFA; Medicago sativa L.) in diet early-phase hens. ISA Brown layers, 18 wk age, were randomly allocated 2 dietary treatments fed for 10 wk. The hens wheat middling-based diets: a control diet, which contained SBM (15% diet), test containing LFA diet) as main protein source. Low-fiber obtained by combination sieving...
