Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleGhrelin Gene Expression in Broiler Proventriculus Tissue are Changed by Feed Restriction, Different Dietary Energy and Protein LevelsShokoufe Ghazanfari, Mohammad Reza Nassiry, Mojtaba Tahmoorespur et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of feed restriction and different energy and protein contents of diet on ghrelin gene expression in broiler chicken. Approach: Feeding programs consisted of ad libitum and feed restriction, two energy levels (3100 and 2800 kcal ME kg-1) and three protein levels (22.3, 19.3 and 16.3% CP). Feed restriction … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,481 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApplication of Meal Feeding and Skip-A-Day Feeding With or Without Probiotics for Broiler Chickens Grown at High-Altitude to Prevent Ascites MortalityAli Saffar, Fariborz KhajaliProblem statement: Ascites is a common rapid-growth-related problem in broiler chickens grown at high altitude where the partial pressure of oxygen is low and is marginally adequate to support the growth performance and ascites-related variables. A mismatch between the growth of oxygen supplying organs and the oxygen demanding organs causes ascites in broiler chickens. In the present study, broilers were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,696 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeta-Analysis of Bacillus in Laying Hen Nutrition: Feed Intake, Feed Conversion Ratio and Egg Productive IndicesChristian Anayo Mbajiorgu, Ifeanyichukwu Princewill Ogbuewu, Monnye MabelebeleThis data synthesis study aimed to explore the impact of bacillus additive on performance of laying hens. Three bibliographic databases were scanned, with no restrictions on language and date. The inclusion criteria were randomised and controlled trials using non-diseased laying hens and published in peer-reviewed journals. The eligibility criteria were also information on measured performance parameters and studied moderators.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Polymorphism Exon 9-11 at the Leptin Gene Receptor in Breeder Hens of Mazandaran Native FowlsHossein Ali Abbasi, Shahabodin Gharavysi, Rohullah AbdullahpourProblem statement: Leptin a 16 kD protein synthesized by white adipose tissue and involved in regulation of feed intake, energy balance, fertility and immune function. In order to evaluate the leptin gene receptor polymorphism, we have used a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method. Approach: Blood samples were collected from randomly chosen 100 native fowls breeding station of Mazandaran. The … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 7,700 accessesView PDF Cite
