Thus, this experiment was conducted...

This study was composed of two experiments which investigated the response of two strains (Arbor Acre and Cobb 500, respectively) of broiler chickens to in ovo injection of inorganic salts of zinc, copper and their combination. A total of 300 hatching eggs [only 148 (59.20 %) and 232 (90.27 %), respectively, were fertile] each of Arbor Acre and Cob...

One hundred and twenty (120) day-old broiler chickens of three different strains fed with straight diet were used in this study which lasted for 49 days. A single straight diet containing 2844.25kcal/kg of M.E and crude protein of 21.04% was formulated for the study. Each strain of the broiler namely Cobb, Ross and Abor acre formed the three treatm...

This study investigated the effect of different feed forms with or without oyster mushroom inclusion (Pleurotus ostreatus) on egg production and egg quality of egg-type chicken. One hundred and sixty 16-week old pullets were purchased and acclimatized for 2 weeks. Afterwards, the birds were distributed on the basis of feed forms (mash and pellet) a...

Este estudio determinó el efecto de la administración in ovo y post-eclosión de extracto acuoso de hongo ostra (AEOM) sobre la respuesta inmune, la morfometría de tibias y minerales, y la histología de la médula ósea de pollos de engorde.
