Selenium is an important mineral, required for many functions within animals, where it interacts with vitamin E, maximizing the efficiency of as antioxidant. In chickens, adequate intake organic forms Se may be linked to reduced drip loss in final meat and improved feather production. The present trial was conducted examine impact feeding (Sel-Plex, Alltech Inc., Nicholasville, KY) broilers on their productive performance, growth, characteristics. Birds fed 0.3 ppm had decreased from breast...

Subsequent to banning of use antibiotics as growth promoter sin poultry nutrition, numerous studies turned finding alternative solutions, i.e. other, natural substances, which would have positive effect on chicken and feed conversion. Today, several groups these additives are in use, most often probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, acidifiers, antioxidants phytogene additives. Considering that each the stated has its own specificities, objective this work was present main mechanism their action...

Radiotherapy-induced toxicity is a major dose-limiting factor in anti-cancer treatment. Ionizing radiation leads to the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) that are associated with radiation-induced cell death. Investigations biological effects fullerenol have provided evidence for its ROS/RNS scavenger properties vitro radioprotective efficiency vivo. Therefore we were interested evaluate human erythroleukemia line. Pre-treatment irradiated cells by exerted...

Abstract. The trial involved 684 Cobb 500 broiler chicks in order to investigate the effects of probiotics and phytogenic additives on performance, gut morphology cecal microbial concentrations. Birds were assigned three treatments: control feed, treatment with addition feed water blend feed. results showed a significant improvement (P<0.01) body weight gain numerical, but non (P>0.05) conversion ratio by adding both phytogenics There no statistically differences among treatments...

Abstract The effects of short‐term genistein exposure on ovarian folliculogenesis in immature rats were examined stereologically. To determine whether acts as an estrogen agonist or antagonist, the results compared with 17α‐ethynylestradiol. Immature female received 50 mg/kg/bw dimethyl sulfoxide subcutaneously daily for three consecutive days from 18 to 20 days. second group was injected 1 μg/kg/bw 17α‐ethynylestradiol olive oil same schedule. Each had a corresponding control. Genistein...
