Sodium Requirement for Broiler Breeder Hens
Two experiments were conducted with Arbor Acres hens to determine their Na requirement. Sodium chloride was added to a corn-soybean meal diet to furnish daily intakes of 35, 65, 95, 125, and 150 mg per hen in Experiment 1. The 150 mg level was replaced with 180 mg in Experiment 2. The hens were maintained in floor pens with wood shavings used as litter.

Restricting Growth of Broiler Breeder Pullets
Abstract Restricting rate of gain and delaying sexual maturity of pullets are important considerations in producing a profitable broiler breeder flock. Most of the existing programs for rearing broiler pullets are based on some type of feed restriction, or the use of diets designed to limit nutrient intake starting around 8 to 10 weeks of age ...

Activo Liquid and Halquinol inhibit Salmonella and Escherichia coli in culture media. Activo Liquid exhibits bactericidal action, whereas HA is bacteriostatic, and their combination results in positive or indifferent interactions. This combination effectively inhibits E. coli throughout digestion simulation, thus reducing the required concentrations of
