INTRODUCTION Providing adequate quantities of animal protein to meet the demands of a continuously growing population requires that livestock producers must increase the production efficiency of farm animals. This can be achieved through improved genetics, management, and nutrition. Furthermore, feed ingredient prices continue to increase, resulting in minimizing the profit for the producers and forcing them to seek cheaper alternative ingredients, typically of lower quality and...

1. Introduction Exogenous xylanase (XYL) has been routinely used in poultry diets to hydrolyse nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) and improve the feeding quality of fibre-rich diets, including wheat [1]. The beneficial effect of XYL in wheat-based diets is mainly attributed to the reduction of digesta viscosity, improving digestion and absorption of nutrients, dietary energy availability and subsequent growth performance of broilers [2,3]. In layers, XYL has been assessed as...

Introduction Lipids are the primary source of energy for animals, and the digestibility of fats determines the amount of energy that can be obtained by an animal from dietary fat. The age of birds influences the digestibility of fats and poor absorption is a problem in very young birds. The absorption of dietary fat is physiologically restricted in young animals due to low levels of natural lipase production and low rates of bile salt generation (Tancheroenrat et al., 2014)...

1. Introduction The small intestine is a highly differentiated and complex organ with many nutritional, physiological, and immunological functions [1–8]. First, the small intestine is responsible for the terminal digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients and is, therefore, essential to health, growth, development, reproduction, and sustaining life in organisms. Second, the neonatal small intestine can absorb immunoglobulins from milk before gut closure, which is...

1 | INTRODUCTION Water is the source of life on the earth and it seems that without water, life is inconceivable. Unlike humans, who can produce and retrieve the necessities of life by increasing their knowledge, birds rely more on the water in nature, and unfortunately, any changes affecting the quantity and quality of water in geographical areas of the world including Urmia Lake, affects the lives of birds. The ecological level of the Urmia lake water is 1274.10 m/12.546 Bm3...

1. Introduction Phytogenic feed additives “phytobiotic” are assuming a position of prime importance in the poultry industry [1–3] and could be used in feed or water [4]. Among the promising phytogenic immune-stimulants, Nigella sativa (N. sativa) is a miracle medicinal herb having a long history with a rich religious background [5, 6]. N. sativa seeds are used for the treatment of some disorders and illnesses including fever, common cold, headache, asthma,...

Two experiments evaluated the addition of an exogenous sfericase protease in broiler diets. Experiments were run (Exp1 and Exp2) with 1,848 and 2,100 one-day old male chicks being allocated into 84 floor pens with 14 replicates of 22 and 25 birds each, respectively. The studies were conducted in completely randomized designs. In Exp1, Standard diets were formulated with energy and AA at marginally lower levels than usual by the Brazilian integration such that broilers were expected to grow...

Heat production and heat loss are critical factors in the development of a chicken embryo. The chicken embryo undergoes a complex process of growth and development within the egg, and maintaining an optimal balance between heat production and heat loss is crucial for ensuring the proper growth and development of the embryo. The air temperature and heat...

Introduction High levels of production and efficient feed conversion are the need of the modern livestock industry which to a certain extent could be achieved by using specific feed additives. Feed additives are of great interest in the poultry industry due to their property to promote growth and performance. Common feed additives used in poultry diets include antibiotics, antioxidants, emulsifiers, binders, pH control agents and enzymes. Antibiotic feed additives as growth...

Introduction Summer and Disease The mercury is soaring high throughout the country, and it seems there is no respite soon. High environmental temperature leads to heat stress. Heat stress can lead to various harmful impacts on livestock productivity, such as high animal morbidity, mortality, and reduction in growth performance, directly resulting in dramatic economic losses to the livestock industry. Heat stress and transportation or shifting from EC shed to the...
