Nutritional and Performance Effects of Partial Replacement of Maize With Cassava Root (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Meal in Broiler Diets

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Partial replacement of maize with cassava root meal (CRM) improved growth performance, carcass traits, antioxidant activity, meat quality, and sensory acceptability in broiler chickens. Among all treatments, 10% CRM supplementation showed optimal feed efficiency, water‐holding capacity, and antioxidant status without adverse health effects, indicating ...

Sampling hour matters: diel variation in leukocyte profile of red‐legged partridges

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Leukocyte counts are widely used as integrative biomarkers of immune function and physiological condition across ecological and biomedical sciences. However, their reliability can be compromised by sources of variation related to practical issues associated with sampling.

The toxicity of purified fumonisin B1 in broiler chicks

Poultry Science, 2000
An investigation of the toxicity of fumonisin B1 (FB1), a toxic metabolite of Fusarium moniliforme, in broiler chicks was conducted. Purified FB1 (98.1% pure) was incorporated into the diets of broiler chicks at 0, 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg, and fed to chicks from 0 to 21 d of age. Dietary FB1, at concentrations of 80 mg/kg or less, did not adversely affect

Crataegus oxyacantha Extract Enhances Cardiac Adaptation and Reduces Oxidative‐Inflammatory Stress in Broiler Chickens Raised at High Altitude Under Cold Stress

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Crataegus oxyacantha extract at 0.4 mL/L improved cardiac function in broilers under cold stress and high altitude by increasing nitric oxide synthase gene expression, boosting nitric oxide, reducing endothelin‐1 gene expression, and lowering oxidative‐inflammatory stress, offering a natural solution to mitigate pulmonary hypertension syndrome ...

Influence of Monensin and Salinomycin on the Performance of Broiler Chicks

Poultry Science, 1989
Because monensin and salinomycin are widely used to control coccidiosis, two experiments were conducted to compare the performance of broiler chicks when these compounds were added to the diet. Five levels of each coccidiostat were fed. Increasing the levels of coccidiostat resulted in a decrease in body weight and feed intake.

Integrating Serological and Molecular Data to Characterize Fowl Adenovirus Associated With Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Broiler Chickens From Malaysia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study revealed the active circulation of fowl adenoviruses in broiler farms in Sabah, Malaysia. FAdV‐8b and FAdV‐11 were identified in flocks with IBH lesions, accompanied by high antibody titres in unvaccinated birds. Phylogenetic analysis showed close relationships with global strains, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance and control ...

Influence of Ochratoxin A and Deoxynivalenol on Growing Broiler Chicks

Poultry Science, 1988
The effects of feeding diets containing ochratoxin A (OA) (2.0 mg/kg) and deoxynivalenol (DON) (16 mg/kg) singly and in combination were characterized in male broiler chicks from 1 to 3 wk of age. Body weight gains and efficiency of feed utilization were significantly reduced by feeding OA singly, DON singly, and the OA/DON combination.

A morphological study in broiler chick hearts.

Folia morphologica, 1997
The normally developing cardiovascular system of the chicken resembles that of the human. The purpose of the present study is to investigate some macroscopic and microscopic similarities between the chick and the human heart. For this study 20 adult and 10 newborn Broiler chickens were used.

Precipitated Bone Phosphate in Broiler Chick Diets

Poultry Science, 1988
Day-old Cobb x Cobb broiler chicks were housed in battery brooders for 21-day feeding periods during two experiments. Dietary treatments consisted of a corn-soybean starter feed (.37% total; .14% nonphytin phosphorus) supplemented with 0, .05, .10, .15, or .28% phosphorus in the form of dicalcium phosphate, precipitated bone phosphate, or a mixture of ...
