Abstract This study aimed to assess the growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality traits of broiler chickens raised on plastic-grid floors, traditional wood shavings, shavings enriched with zeolite. The experimental design included allocation 504-day-old chicks three different bedding materials, namely zeolite litter, each four replications (42 birds per replicate). were individually weighed at birth grouped according their average body weights. An experiment involving...

Bu araştırma, sıcak stresi altındaki broylerlerde erken dönem sıcağa alıştırma ve rasyona askorbik asit ilavesinin büyüme performansı, karkas et kalite özellikleri üzerine etkilerini araştırmak için yapılmıştır. Toplam 320 adet erkek broyler pozitif kontrol (PC), (HS), (HC) ilave edilen rasyonla besleme (AA) olmak üzere dört gruba ayrılmıştır. PC grubundaki broylerler deneme süresince termonötral koşullarda (24oC) yetiştirilmiş bazal beslenmiştir. HC grubu, 5 günlük yaşta 24 saat 36oC'ye...

The present study examined the effect of drinking water temperature and stocking density on performance (cumulative body weight gain, feed intake, conversion ratio), meat quality, behaviour traits (eating, drinking, lying, standing, dust bathing) in broilers. A total 360 broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly divided into 6 experimental groups, a 2x3 factorial arrangement (10°C or 31°C), with (12, 15 18 birds/m2), each consisting 4 replicate pens. Meat quality (pH15, L*, CL, WHC), lying...

In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of a commercial ELISA test kit for detecting pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) in peripheral blood early pregnancy diagnosis and compare plasma PAG levels during both Holstein-Friesian heifers lactating cows. A total 231 samples were collected from cows on days 25, 28, 32 after insemination. Pregnancies confirmed 30 collection samples. Plasma measured using diagnosing bovine pregnancy. The effects examination date animal status...

In this study effects of three types beddings on broiler leg health and bone biomechanics were evaluated.A total 504 male chicks (Ross 308) randomly placed (4 replicates/group; 42 birds/pen), zeolite-added litter (ZL), plastic-grid flooring (PF), wood shavings (WS). On day 42, chickens weighed, slaughtered, samples (bone, muscle, drumstick) collected. Bones subjected to tests, morphometric measurements, biomechanical testing, ash analysis.Broilers in PF WS groups showed higher live weight...

Introduction/Aim: Regular exercise may have beneficial effects on high blood-pressure, as shown in different types of experimental hypertension models rats. The present study aims to investigate the 6-week swimming training blood pressure, oxidative stress variables selected tissues, serum adrenomedullin (ADM) levels, and situ muscle contraction rats with induced by Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME), an inhibitor endothelial nitric oxide synthases (eNOs).Materials...

Sideritis caesarea (SC) Duman, Aytac&Baser is a member of the Lamiaceae family. The present study was designed to investigate antioxidant properties aerial parts island green tea SC against TCA effects in rats. Biomarkers selected for monitoring capacity were activities glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione- S -transferase, catalase (CAT), GSH level and malondialdehyde (MDA) content various organs Three experimental groups, A (untreated = control), B (only...

The first aim of this study was to investigate the effects perch cooling and different litter thicknesses on quality housing facility, welfare criteria (incidence footpad hock burns, gait score, plumage cleanliness damages), heterophil/lymphocyte ratio, growth, carcass compositions broilers reared at high ambient temperature. Secondly, conducted determine whether cooled perches would be preferred by broiler chickens exposed a hot environment, subsequently, utilization these improve...

In this study the body weight (BW) and condition score (BCS) of lactating cows was estimated by using conventional (CM) digital image analysis methods (DIAM). BCS is an important factor to facilitate different practices management in dairy cattle. A total 204 Holstein live images were taken remote shutter camera. Six measurements such as heart girth (HG), wither height (WH), hip (HH), length (BL), front hip-width (FHW), back (BHW) used for assessment BW CM DIAM. The estimation CBW HG, FHW,...

Abstract In this trial, the effects of early qualitative feed restriction and barrier perch access on some meat quality traits, growth performance, diet cost analysis broiler chickens were investigated. A total 504 1-d-old male chicks (Ross 308) randomly allocated to four treatments (qualitative − QFR; absence-/presence+ BP; absence-/presence+) with three replicate pens in a completely randomised design involving 2 × factorial arrangement treatments. Broiler treatment QFR- fed corn-soybean...

The aim of this study was to elucidate the presence components innate immune system in bovine corpus luteum (CL) by detecting expression and cell-specific localization TLR2 TLR4 during different stages estrous cycle a control design.Bovine CL samples were collected from local slaughterhouse assigned three groups as follows: developing (dCL; n = 6, approx.days 3-6), mature (mCL; 5, 8-12), regressing (rCL; 17-19).An upregulation mRNA detected only rCL (P < 0.05).Localization protein...

1. This experiment determined the effect of increasing mobility in broiler chickens by placing barrier perches between feeders and drinkers. In addition, limitation early weight gain dietary energy protein dilution on some welfare parameters, tibiotarsus measurements, fear level was examined.2. A total 504 male, one-day-old (Ross 308) were randomly allocated to four treatments with three replicate pens per treatment 42 pen as a 2 × factorial arrangement. Treatments included feeding basal...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects cooled perch and litter thickness on performance, meat quality, carcass, behaviour traits broilers reared at high environmental temperatures. A total 459 1 day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned nine treatment groups based (no perch, non-cooled perches, perches) thicknesses (1, 7 14 cm) with three replicates. Body weight higher in group 6 wks (P&amp;lt;0.05). chickens under cm found than wks. Live carcass weights, breast...
