Dietary administration of Bacillus subtilis KC1 improves growth performance, immune response, heat stress tolerance, and disease resistance of broiler chickens

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the probiotic properties of Bacillus subtilis KC1 as a feed additive in the poultry feed. Effects of the Bacillus subtilis supplementation on growth performance, heat-stress tolerance, resistance to ...

Meal Feeding and Broiler Performance

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1986
Abstract Male broiler chickens were meal fed using 3.5 hr on:4.5 hr off, 3 cycles/24 hr and in combination with 2 hr on:2 hr off, 6 cycles/24 hr; comparison was made to ad libitum feeding, all with continuous light. Trials were conducted at optimum (21 C) grow-out temperature and at hot (22 to 33 C) grow-out temperatures.

Valeric acid glyceride esters in feed promote broiler performance and reduce the incidence of necrotic enteritis

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2018
Valeric acid is a C5 fatty acid, naturally produced in low concentrations by specific members of the microbiota of the lower intestinal tract. Effects of valeric acid on intestinal health have been poorly investigated.

Significance of chick quality score in broiler production

open access: yesAnimal, 2012
The quality of day old chicks is crucial for profitable broiler production, but a difficult trait to define. In research, both qualitative and quantitative measures are used with variable predictive value for subsequent performance. In hatchery practice,

Modeling the performance of broilers under heat stress

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
A meta-analysis was developed to model performance depression in heat stress (HS), to analyze the influence of HS type (cyclic or constant), and to assess the correlation between dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) and HS in broilers. Two databases (Dat) with performance and temperature were constructed (initial phase - up to 21 d of age - 14 articles, 7,

Evaluation of increasing levels of a microbial phytase in phosphorus deficient broiler diets via live broiler performance, tibia bone ash, apparent metabolizable energy, and amino acid digestibility

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2017
&NA; The objective was to investigate increasing concentrations of an evolved microbial phytase on male broiler performance, tibia bone ash, AME, and amino acid digestibility when fed diets deficient in available phosphorus (aP).

Providing environmental enrichments affects activity and performance, but not leg health in fast- and slower-growing broiler chickens

open access: yes, 2021
Effects of environmental enrichment on activity, behaviour, walking ability, contact dermatitis and performance were investigated in fast- and slower-growing broiler chickens.

Effect of Dietary Beta-Glucan on the Performance of Broilers and the Quality of Broiler Breast Meat [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
A total of 400, one day-old commercial broiler chicks were divided into five diet groups (negative control, positive control group with 55 ppm Zn-bacitracin, 15 ppm β-glucan, 30 ppm β-glucan, and 60 ppm β-glucan) and fed for six weeks. Ten broilers were allotted to each of 40 floor pens.

The Effects of Santoquin on the Performance of Broilers

open access: yesPoultry Science, 1960
Abstract THE use of antioxidants in broiler feeds, in an effort to improve xanthophyll utilization, has produced conflicting results. Wilgus (1954), Potter et al. (1956) and Fritz et al. (1957) reported that the addition of DPPD (diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine) to the feed resulted in an increased deposition of yellow pigment in the skin and shanks of ...

Effects of incubation temperature pattern on broiler performance

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2020
During incubation, development of embryos is affected by eggshell temperature (EST). A constant EST of 37.8°C has been considered so far to result in most optimal embryo development. However, it can be hypothesized that a higher EST in week 2 in combination with a lower EST in week 3 stimulates embryo development and subsequent grow-out performance. In
