I. INTRODUCTIONCalcium and phosphorus are two minerals of great concern to poultry nutritionists as a result of the relatively large quantities needed in the diet, and the adverse effects on bone formation, shell quality, and overall performance when inadequate amounts of these minerals are supplied. It is further difficult to discuss calcium supply in poultry diets without referring to phosphorus ...

INTRODUCTIONVitamin D is a group of closely related compounds that have antirachitic activity. It has been estimated that nearly 50% of the United States population is at risk for vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency (Holick et al., 2011). Vitamin D3 (D3) deficiency can cause rickets in young children or increase the risk of osteoporosis and osteomalacia in adults (Holick, 2005). One approach to ...

With the aim to evaluate the effect of the supplementation of different concentrations of a Moringa oleifera liquid extract in the drinking water on the hematology profile, and performance of broiler chickens, two experiments were carried out at Universidad ISA. Each experiment had four (4) treatments (0, 1.87, 3.75 y 7.5 liters of M. oleifera extract in 937.5 liters of drinking waters), which wer ...
