Effects Of Medium-Chain Free Fatty Acids On Performance, Some Biochemical Parameters And Meat Fatty Acids Profile Of Broiler Chickens, Mehmet Demi̇rci̇, Mehmet Başalan
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of the addition of caprylic (octanoic, C8:0), capric (decanoic, C10:0) and lauric (dodecanoic, C12:0) acids from medium-chain free fatty acids to broiler diets. A total of 120 one-dayold male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used and the study was conducted on 4 main groups of broilers; one control and three trials. The birds in the control group was fed an unadulterated basal diet and those in the experimental groups were fed with 0.2% of caprylic, capric and lauric acids (in addition to a basal diet) respectively. In the study, there …
Effect Of Supplementing Magnesium Picolinate In Drinking Water On Growth Performance, Meat Quality And Cecal E. Coli Of Broiler Reared Under Tropical Conditions, Siriporn Namted, Choawit Rakangthong
Effect Of Supplementing Magnesium Picolinate In Drinking Water On Growth Performance, Meat Quality And Cecal E. Coli Of Broiler Reared Under Tropical Conditions, Siriporn Namted, Choawit Rakangthong
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The effect of Mg supplementation in drinking water was evaluated on the growth performance, carcass quality, meat quality and cecal E. colilevel of Broilersreared under Tropical Conditions. A sample of 192 male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were divided into 2 groups(each group consisting of 8 replicates of 12 chicks each) as: 1) control group, without Mg supplementation in the drinking water; and 2) Drinking Mg group, 10 mg of Mg/L was added into 1 L of their drinking water. It was shown that supplementing Mg in the drinking water significantly reduced body weight (P = 0.04) and tended to decrease …

Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns And Flaa Genotypes Of Campylobacter Jejuni Isolated From Contracted Broiler Farms In Eastern Thailand, Petcharatt Charununtakorn, Sakaoporn Prachantasena, Taradon Luangtongkum
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter has become a major public health concern. Since little is known about antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter isolated from contracted broiler farms, the major type of farm that produces chicken meat for domestic consumption in Thailand, the objective of the present study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns and genotypes of Campylobacter isolated from contracted broiler farms where antibiotics were routinely used in their production. Sixty-nine Campylobacter jejuni isolates from cloacal swabs of chickens reared in 2 small contracted broiler farms in eastern Thailand were tested for their susceptibility to 5 antimicrobial agents by …

Sources And Disseminations Of Salmonella Spp. In An Integrated Broiler Meat Production, Nion Boonprasert, Suphachai Nuanualsuwan, Chaiwat Pulsrikarn, Sarinya Pornaem, Nipa Chokesajjawatee
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
In this study, important sources and disseminations of Salmonella in integrated broiler meat production was conducted in the north-eastern part of Thailand during 2010-2012. Both environmental samples and chicken-related samples from three broiler meat production cycles, starting from breeder farm, hatchery, broiler farm, and slaughterhouse were collected. The chicken-related samples were tested to monitor Salmonella status of the chickens, eggs, or whole carcasses, whereas the environmental samples were tested to investigate the possible sources of Salmonella contamination. A total of 1,449 chicken-related samples and 802 environmental samples were analyzed. Results of this study showed that Salmonella was found in all …
Effects Of Dietary Melamine Or Urea-Formaldehyde Or Their Mixtures On Performance, Carcass Quality, Melamine Residues And Microscopic Changes In Broiler Tissues, Srisuda Sirilaophaisan, Jowaman Khajarern, Bundit Tengjarernkul
Effects Of Dietary Melamine Or Urea-Formaldehyde Or Their Mixtures On Performance, Carcass Quality, Melamine Residues And Microscopic Changes In Broiler Tissues, Srisuda Sirilaophaisan, Jowaman Khajarern, Bundit Tengjarernkul
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
A study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary graded levels of melamine, urea-formaldehyde (UF) and their mixture on growth performance, carcass quality, melamine residues and microscopic changes in broiler tissues from d-1 to d-42 followed by a 7-d feeding of withdrawal diets. One thousand and forty 1-d-old equal mixed-sex Arber Acres broiler were assigned to 13 dietary treatments with 4 replicate pens of 20 chicks assigned to each treatment. The diets of melamine, UF and their mixture contained four graded levels (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00%) but no melamine or UF was added to the control diet. There …
Blood Haematological-Cholesterol Profile And Antibody Titer Response Of Broilers With Added Probiotic Containing Both Bacteria And Yeast Or An Antibiotic In Drinking Water, Sarinee Kalandakanond-Thongsong, Boonrit Thongsong, Vivat Chavananikul
Blood Haematological-Cholesterol Profile And Antibody Titer Response Of Broilers With Added Probiotic Containing Both Bacteria And Yeast Or An Antibiotic In Drinking Water, Sarinee Kalandakanond-Thongsong, Boonrit Thongsong, Vivat Chavananikul
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
An experiment was conducted to investigate the haematological and cholesterol profiles and antibody titer responses to both Newcastle disease (ND) and Infectious bronchitis (IB) vaccines in broiler chickens after drinking water supplemented with either a commercial probiotic (an Active Elements®; AE) containing Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an antibiotic Chlortetracycline (CTC), or the probiotic plus the antibiotic. Four hundred one-day-old male Cobb broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 4 treatment groups designated as follow: a non-treated control (T1), a 0.05% CTC (T2), a 1:500 AE (T3), and a combination of 0.05% CTC and 1:500 AE (T4), respectively. The chicks were …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementing a commercially available probiotic (an Active Elements®; AE) containing Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an antibiotic; Chlortetracycline (CTC), and the probiotic plus antibiotic, via the drinking water on broiler production performance, mortality rate and the antibiotic residue in meat. Four hundred one-day-old male Cobb broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 4 treatments; a non-treated control, a 0.05% CTC, a 1:500 AE, and a combination of CTC and AE. Chicks were fed with a commercial broiler diet ad libitum. They were reared under an environmentally controlled house for 6 weeks. The …
