The Arabian camel is the largest known mammal that can survive in severe hot climatic conditions. We provide molecular explanation for thermotolerance of granulosa somatic cells after exposure to 45 °C 2 (acute heat shock) or 20 h (chronic shock). common features cellular responses acute stress were increase shock proteins and DNA repair enzymes expression. Actin polymerization Rho signaling critically activated as a defense against shock. Cells exposed chronic showed altered cell...
The poultry industry needs efficient antibiotic alternatives to prevent necrotic enteritis (NE) infections. Here, we evaluate the effects of probiotic and/or prebiotic dietary supplementation on performance, meat quality and carcass traits, using only an NE coinfection model, in broiler chickens. Three hundred twenty-four healthy Ross 308 chicks are allocated into six groups. Taking a 35 d feeding trial, fed basal diet with 0.0, 0.1, 0.5, 0.12, 0.5 + 0.2 g Kg−1 for control (T1), Avilamycin...
The effect of a low-ME diet with multienzyme (Kemzyme Plus, Kemin, Des Moines, IA) blend on performance, meat quality, and carcass traits was evaluated in Hubbard broiler chicks. A total 120 chicks were allocated to the following 4 experimental groups every group separated into 6 replicates, 5 birds per replicate: control (3,180 kcal/kg ME), + 0.50 g/kg enzyme (Cont-Enz), (3,080 kcal/kg), (low-ME-Enz). trail lasted for 16 D (32 48 age). No significant differences growth parameters or...
This experiment was conducted to study the effects of paulownia leaf meal (PLM) as a nontraditional feed on growth, carcasses, digestibility, blood chemistry, and intestinal microbiota growing rabbits. Sixty rabbits (5-weeks old) were randomly allotted three dietary treatments containing amounts PLM (0%, 15%, 30%). The results showed that has higher content ether extract, organic matter, methionine, tyrosine, histidine, manganese, zinc than alfalfa hay. Body weight gain decreased when 30%...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of using breeder parents (434-days-old) and broiler chickens (37 D age) from Ross 308 on meat quality parameters carcass characteristics; sex muscle type were also estimated. Carcass assessment involved hot weight, yield, cuts (breast, legs, wings, back, shoulder). A total 120 birds divided into 2 groups (60 each stock), stock contain equal number sexes (30 males 30 females), further 6 replicates, so that there 5 in replicate. The fed ad libitum....
Previous studies have shown positive outcomes associated with the incorporation of cloves into broiler chicken diets. This study aimed to evaluate carcass characteristics, meat quality, and sensory attributes chickens fed diets supplemented different clove seed levels. A total 240 day-old Ross 308 chicks were 1 seven dietary treatments. The control group diet contained 0% seeds, whereas treatment up 6% seeds. chickens' final BW was significantly between treatments, which decreased linearly...
A total of 120 1-day-old commercial Cobb chicks were used to study the effects Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) and/or Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) on growth performance, intestinal health, and immune status in broilers. The experimental groups as follows: G1; basal diet (BD), G2; (BD) plus C. preparation at 0.5 g/kg diet, G3; BD S. G4; 0.25 cerevisiae. Results showed that body weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio significantly higher (p < 0.05)...
The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of a phytogenic mixture in diet on broiler production. A total 400 day-old unsexed Cobb chicks were randomly allotted to four treatment groups 10 replications randomised design experiment. feed (BMC) contained equal ratios black cumin, Moringa oleifera and chicory seeds. as follows: T1 was fed basal diet, while T2, T3 T4 supplemented with 0.2%, 0.4% or 0.6% three BMC mixture, respectively. Results showed that increasing dietary level could be...
Fattening performance, Carcass characteristics, chemical composition, and meat quality were evaluated in three sheep breeds: Awassi, Harri, Najdi. Forty-five lambs of similar weight age raised for 90 days under conditions. The Harri Najdi breeds had higher dressing-out percentages than Awassi sheep. thicker backfat the breed. No significant difference was found moisture, protein, intramuscular fat among breeds. However, breed a ash content ultimate pH lower cooking loss myofibril...
High-quality meat is one of the consumer demands. Therefore, several studies have concluded that supplementing broilers with natural additives can improve quality. This study was carried out to evaluate effects nano-emulsified plant oil (Magic oil®) and probiotic (Albovit®) as water (at rate 1 ml/L 0.1 g/L, respectively) during different growing periods on processing characteristics, physicochemical properties, quality traits chickens.A total number 432-day-old Ross broiler chicks were...
This research aimed to examine the effects of water-added betaine (BET) and/or nano-emulsified vegetable oil (MAGO) on carcass and meat quality characteristics broilers raised under thermoneutral (TN) heat stress (HS) conditions.On day 21, 640 birds (Ross 308) were randomly assigned one two thermal conditions (thermoneutral 22 ± 1°C 32 1°C) each containing four treatment groups: Control, BET, MAGO, a mixture both (BETMAGO) in 2 × 4 factorial arrangement (eight groups). Each group has eight...
Background: In Saudi Arabia, sheep are the majority of livestock population, although it imported by large numbers to meet their people demands. The shortage between production and consumption in order reduce import proportions meat is our aim this study through evaluation effect breeds on feed intake, growth performance, digestibility nitrogen utilization. Methods: Forty-five intact male sheep, comprising Awassi, Harri Najdi (approximately 23.4±2 kg), were used research. Three breed groups,...
The present study attempted to determine safe and sufficient growth promoters in poultry feeding.
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) causes increased mortality and severe immunosuppression in commercial chickens. Currently, vaccination mainly used to control IBD. In this study, Group A (n = 30) received the HVT-IBD vector vaccine (Vaxxitek®) s/c B immune complex (Bursa-Plex®) at 1 day of age. C a single dose intermediate plus (228E) through eye-drop route 14 days D was vaccinated twice with (D78) 12 22 age by eye-drop. E had same treatment as group along IBD killed (Nobilis G®) 5 The PC 20)...
The influence of muscle type and postmortem storage period on meat chemical composition quality attributes three breeds camels (Baladi Saudi, Pakistani, Somali) were investigated in this study. Crude fat ash content significantly higher the Pakistani than Baladi Saudi Somali breeds, except for moisture observed breed. longissimus lumborum (LL) semimembranosus (SM) muscles had a greater crude protein biceps femoris (BF) muscle. Storage exhibited significant reduction pH values improvement...
This study compared the efficiency of commercial egg yolk-free (AndroMed, OPTIXcell) and yolk-supplemented (Triladyl, Steridyl) Tris-based extenders for semen cryopreservation in seven adult dromedary camels. The camel-specific extender SHOTOR was used as control. collected samples were evaluated diluted with SHOTOR, Triladyl, Steridyl, AndroMed, or OPTIXcell. gradually cooled equilibrated two hours before liquid nitrogen freezing. Semen prior to freezing after freeze-thawing cycles...
Forty Najdi ram lambs weighing 26.6±0.3 kg were utilized in this experiment to determine the effects of feed restriction followed by realimentation and body weight at onset (30 36 weights) on performance carcass characteristics; feeding levels ad libitum, 0.75 0.60 libitum intake. All slaughtered after 14 weeks experimentation. The results showed that, during phase, average daily gain (ADG) efficiency decreased as level increased. During 30 gained weights consumed dry matter (DM) similarly...
Salmonella is an important pathogen for poultry production as well human due to zoonotic importance. It has more than 2600 identified serovars despite of this identification and classification isolates into different critical study incidence surveillance. This investigates the epidemiology molecular characterization in broiler chicks during 1st week life. A total (n = 1000) samples including liver, intestine, yolk sac, spleen heart blood were collected from El-Gharbia, El-Behera,...
