Alternative feed additives have promising importance in broiler production due to the ban on the use of certain antibiotics. The most used antibiotic alternatives in broiler production are phytogenics, organic acids, prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, and their derivatives. Antibiotic alternatives have been reported to increase feed intake, stimulate digestion, improve feed efficiency, increase growth performance, and reduce the incidence of diseases by modulating the intestinal microbiota and immune system, inhibiting pathogens, and improving intestinal integrity. Simply, the gut microbiota is the target to raise the health benefits and growth-promoting effects of feed additives on broilers. Therefore, naturally available feed additives are promising antibiotic alternatives for broilers.

Introduction
Olive leave extract was effective in minimizing the oxidative stress which was induced with the advance of age, specially for plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione s-transferase (GST). This experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary olive leave powder (OLP) on performance, immunological and biochemical...

I. INTRODUCTION Sorghum is used, either partially or entirely, as the cereal grain base in Australian pig and poultry diets but it has been associated with sub-optimal broiler growth performance (Selle et al., 2010, Liu et al., 2013). Cereal grains of different varieties and from different locations may be blended into poultry diets but varying the inclusion rate of one feed ingredient will spontaneously change inclusion...

Hi, I have around 200 lohmann brown laying hens (average 3kgs) but I got this problem. I used to give them feed in abundance, I mean, as much as they want to eat, but I was told I should feed them with 110g per hen. So I calculate it and it would be like 22 kilograms per day, but they eat all the feed really quickly and remains hungry… any suggestion? Is the ration ok, or I should feed them till they are satisfied? Thanks ...

1. INTRODUCTION Hot environmental conditions are a problem for poultry producers in many areas of the world, particularly in the humid and hot tropics and sub-tropics. Some studies investigated the influence of thermal environment and dietary nutrient level on the productive traits of broiler chickens (Gu et al., 2008; Attia et al., 2011). The nutrient requirements of poultry are altered as the environmental temperature...

Corn is the main ingredient used in poultry feeds, representing more than 60% of the diet. Through fertilization of corn crops, changes in grain nutrient composition may be expected. A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of several fertilization strategies on the nutrient content of corn. A 2x2x2 factorial arrangement was performed considering, 2 corn genotypes (Yellow dent or Flint corns) x 2 levels of Nitrogen (N) fertilizer (0 kg/ha or 50 kg/ha at...
