Performance of broilers on furazolidone additive

Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2021
One hundred and twenty Anak broiler chicks of both sexes were fed furazolidone (additive) in feed to study their growth/weight gain response. The birds were grouped into four, A, B, C, and D of 30 chicks each Treatments B, C and D were administered with furazolidone in feed at the following dosage rates: 0.008%, 0.004% 0.002% respectively.

Broiler-Housing Conditions Affect the Performance [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ciência Avícola, 2017
ABSTRACT In the last decades animal production has considerably increased worldwide to sustain an ever-growing human population. Among animal reared for consumption purposes, chickens are undoubtedly one of the most successful, mainly due to their rapid growth rate.

Virginiamycin and Broiler Performance

Poultry Science, 1984
Two experiments were conducted with broilers to determine the effect of Virginiamycin supplementation on performance and shank pigmentation. Virginiamycin supplementation at 10 ppm resulted in significantly increased body weights in both experiments.

Performance of Broilers in Cages

Poultry Science, 1973
Abstract Four tiers of cages were built with two cages per tier. Each cage measured 0.61×0.91 m. The top three tiers of cages were floored with rubber-covered nylon with holes of 0.95 cm. punched into the fabric every 0.64 cm. The bottom tier of cages was floored with 1.27×12.7 cm. plastic mesh.

Influence of broiler strain cross and dietary protein on the performance of broilers

Poultry Science, 1998
The purpose of this experiment was to quantify the responses of two broiler strain crosses to different dietary protein levels on performance and carcass yields. Day-old broiler chicks from a high-yield strain cross (Ross x Ross 208) and a fast-growing strain cross (Peterson x Arbor Acres) were placed in floor pens on fresh pine shavings.

Influence of a probiotic on broiler performance [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2011
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of a probiotic product (composition: Lactobacillus acidophillus (3.5 × 10(11) CFU), Streptcoccus faecium (3.5 × 10(11) CFU) and Bifidobacterium bifidum (3.5 × 10(11) CFU)) on broiler performance.

The Effect of Temperature and Density on Broiler Performance

Poultry Science, 1968
Abstract STUDIES by Barrott and Pringle (1949, 1950), Ota and Garver (1954), Prince et al. (1960) and Howes et al. (1962) indicated that the optimum environmental temperature for growing broilers decreased to approximately 12.8° to 18.3° at 4 to 5 weeks of age.

The Effect of Brooding Temperature on Broiler Performance

Poultry Science, 1996
In response to the energy crisis of the 1970s, this laboratory recommended that initial brooding temperatures for broilers be reduced to 29.4 C from 32.2 or 35 C. Because environmental temperature has been implicated in the ascites syndrome, this work was conducted to see whether the recommended brooding temperature of 29.4 C the 1st wk, 26.7 C the 2nd

Quantifying Transmission of Campylobacter jejuni in Commercial Broiler Flocks [PDF]

, 2009
Since meat from poultry colonized with Campylobacter spp. is a major cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, human exposure should be reduced by, among other things, prevention of colonization of broiler flocks.

The Effect of Nipple Height on Broiler Performance

Poultry Science, 2001
Two trials, using a total of 3,200 male broilers, were conducted to compare the effects of a trough drinker versus three different heights on a nipple drinker system on body weight gain and feed:gain. The broilers were housed in temperature-controlled litter pens at 25 or 30 C. An 8-ft open trough was used. The nipple drinker heights were adjusted as 1)
