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 Dec 2019

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 …


Investigating Egg Storage Conditions, Hatch Characteristics, And Feeding Methods Of Commercially Produced Poultry, Joshua R. Deines Dec 2019

Investigating Egg Storage Conditions, Hatch Characteristics, And Feeding Methods Of Commercially Produced Poultry, Joshua R. Deines

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Advancements in poultry research continue to add knowledge and understanding to an already technical industry. Such information has led to new developments in early feeding strategies which provide nutrients to broiler chicks while in the egg or during transport. This wealth of knowledge in poultry research extends beyond chickens and is utilized for other species, such as quail and pheasants, including how fertile eggs are stored and incubated. However, methods of early feeding broilers have not been investigated in industry relevant approaches to understand its effects, including how timing of feed access interacts with the hatch window. As well, quail …


Effects Of Various Toxeat$^{®}$ Concentrations On Growth Performance, Immune Response, Cecal Microflora, And Gut Morphology In Broilers Fed With Aflatoxin Contaminated Diets, Soheila Sarrami, Parvaneh Jafari, Maryam Tajabadi Ebrahimi, Seyed Naser Mousavi, Seyed Abdollah Hosseini Jan 2019

Effects Of Various Toxeat$^{®}$ Concentrations On Growth Performance, Immune Response, Cecal Microflora, And Gut Morphology In Broilers Fed With Aflatoxin Contaminated Diets, Soheila Sarrami, Parvaneh Jafari, Maryam Tajabadi Ebrahimi, Seyed Naser Mousavi, Seyed Abdollah Hosseini

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Toxeat$^{®}$, a mycotoxin binder, on functional indices, immune response, intestinal microflora, and gut morphology in broiler chickens fed aflatoxin-contaminated diets. Three hundred Cobb 500 broilers were randomly divided into 6 treatments with 5 replicates, each with 10 birds. The treatments included T1: negative control (NC), T$_{2:}$ T1 + 1 g/ton aflatoxin (positive control: PC), T$_{3:}$ PC + 1 kg/ton Toxeat$^{®}$, T$_{4:}$ PC + 2 kg/ton Toxeat$^{®}$, T$_{5:}$ PC + 3 kg/ton Toxeat$^{®}$, T$_{6:}$ PC + 1 kg/ton Toxeat$^{®}$ without hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate. Growth performance, immune system response, and lactic acid …
