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 ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a yeast extract supplemented in feed and a vitamins-aminoacids compound in the drinking water on the performance and microbiology count of broiler chickens. A 42- day experiment was carried out and replicated twice in time at Universidad ISA. In each experiment, 240 straight run day-old chicks were randomly distributed in 4 treatments of a Comple ...
