Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHistological Adaptations of the Gastrointestinal Tract of Broilers Fed Diets Containing Insoluble Fiber from Rice Hull MealTossaporn IncharoenThese two experiments were aimed to determine the effects of diets containing high levels of insoluble fiber from Rice Hull Meal (RHM) on performance and intestinal histological variables of broilers. In the first experiment, 150 10-day-old Hubbard male broiler chicks were randomly allocatted to three treatments and fed diets containing RHM at 0, 50 and 100 g kg-1 until 42 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Broiler Breeder Ages on the Qualitive and Quantitive Properties of the EggShahabodin Gharahveysi, Seyed Milad Farhadi Niaki, Mehrdad IraniBroiler breeder age is one of the most important factors that affects on egg properties. However by increasing the age of broiler breeder flock, the quality of eggs and consequently the quality of their chick products would be changed. In order to study the effect of broiler breeder flock age on the various aspects of chick products, 300 fertilizable eggs … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2012 · 7,826 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleContract Broiler FarmingTodsadee Areerat, Kameyama Hiroshi, Ngamsomsuk Kamol, Yamauchi Koh-EnIn Thailand, poultry sector is the main economic growth of livestock sector, especially broiler production. The rapid expansion in broiler production has been made possible by the increase in the number of commercial farms or contract farming. The objective of this research was to understand better how contract farming works, who gets involved and why and who benefits from the … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 19 Jul 2012 · 7,336 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePlasma Thyroid Hormone Concentrations and pH Values of Some GI-Tract Segments of Broilers Fed on Different Dietary Citric Acid and Microbial Phytase LevelsRouhollah Nourmohammadi, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, Hamed Saraee, Alireza ArabProblem statement: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of microbial phytase supplementation and citric acid on thyroid activity, relative weight of lymphoid organs and pH values of some GI-tract segments in broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal based diets. Approach: The data was analyzed using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial arrangement of 3×3, three levels of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Citric Acid and Microbial Phytase on Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Broiler ChickensRouhollah Nourmohammadi, Seyed Mohammad Hosseini, Homayoun FarhangfarProblem statement: The aim of this study was to investigated the effects of adding citric acid and microbial phytase supplementation (Natuphos®) on growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens fed corn soybean meal base diets. Approach: The experiment included nine treatments with 10 birds in each replicate using a 3×3 factorial design for two main factors of citric acid … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,297 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Enzyme Supplementation on Performance, Carcass characteristics, Carcass Composition and Some Blood Parameters of Broiler ChickenH. HajatiProblem statement: Endogenous enzymes of broilers cannot adequately digest nonstarch polysaccharides and subsequently the ingestion of high levels of soluble NSP leads to increased digesta viscosity and reduced nutrient digestibility and absorption. Supplementation of NSPs degrading enzymes may remove the anti nutritive effects of NSPs and release some nutrients (starch, protein) from these elements. Therefore, in a completely randomized design … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExposure of Broiler Chickens to a Weak Electromagnetic Field Reduces the Impact of a Simulated, Commercial Eimeria InfectionM.A. Elmusharaf, J.J. Cuppen, H.N.A. Grooten et al.Problem statement: In a previous study, the exposure of broiler chickens to a weak Electromagnetic Field (EMF) reduced the severity of a coccidiosis infection. The birds were infected by gavage into the crop which was not representative for the field situation. Approach: The possible anticoccidial activity of EMF was investigated in broiler chickens with a simulated, commercial coccidiosis infection. There … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEfficacy and Characteristics of different Methods of Coccidiosis Infection in Broiler ChickensM.A. Elmusharaf, H.E. Mohamed, A. Alhaidary, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: Different methods of experimental infection of broiler chickens with Eimeria species have been described in the literature. These methods had not been compared and contrasted so as to contribute to the selection of the most appropriate model of coccidiosis in broiler chickens. Identifying such a model was important to speed up the screening of potential coccidiostatics. Approach: In … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,839 accessesView PDFCite
