The objectives in these four experiments were to observe
the effectiveness of sodium bisulfate and clinoptilolite and
different methods of application of sodium bisulfate, ferrous
sulfate heptahydrate and Micro Aide® on atmospheric ammonia
level in the broiler house and on broiler performance.
The first experiment was conducted to determine the...
Most of the feed required for poultry production in
the Republic of Yemen is imported from Europe. Sometimes,
feed shipments arrive later due to lack of hard currencies
to pay for the feed or to pay the freight charges. Yemeni
broiler producers in such cases feed their birds a single...
The objective of this work was to define the effects of
dietary energy intake on broiler fat deposition and
metabolism. Fatty broilers are one of the major problems in
the broiler industry.
The effects of changing calorie to protein (Cal/Pr)
ratios, and the addition of cellulose or dried distiller's byproduct...
The high quality feedstuffs which are used in poultry feeds
are costly and could be used directly for human food. There is less
competition for fibrous feedstuffs which are less digestible by
humans and other nonruminants.
Feedstuffs containing crude and refined dietary fiber were
examined for their effects on performance,...
Six experiments were carried out with Single Comb White Leghorn laying chickens to
assess the effect of feeding a source of direct-fed microbials (Lactobacillus; Lacto) and its
carrier [condensed cane molasses solubles (CCMS)] on the retentions of fat, nitrogen and
several minerals; on the status of the pH of the...
Today's consumers have shown a greater concern in the relationship between dietary fat and human health. The demand for leaner meat is continuously on the rise. The reduction of fat deposits in the abdominal area of ready-to-cook fryers, considered a waste product in the poultry industry, has become a major...
Seven experiments were carried out to investigate the
involvement of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism on the
incidence of Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) in broiler
chickens.
Hepatic arachidonate level decreased after 1 h postmortem.
The decreased level of hepatic arachidonate
previously observed in SDS birds was, therefore, associated
with the post-mortem...
Four experiments were carried out with broiler chicks from day-old to three or four weeks of age to assess the effects of nitrates and nitrites from calcium, potassium, and sodium salts in the drinking water of broilers on growth, body weights, feed utilization, blood chemistries, liver tissues, and lipid oxidation...
