The sex detection of chicks is an important work in poultry breeding. Separating chicks of different sexes early can effectively improve production efficiency and commercial benefits. In this paper, based on the difference in calls among one-day-old chicks of different sexes, a sex detection method ...

The study evaluated the influence of fermented papaya leaf and seed powder (FPLS) and/or multienzymes on the growth, physiology, antioxidant, and gut ecology of the Indonesian crossbred chicken (ICC) at high stocking density. Three hundred and seventy ICC were randomly allotted to LSD (chicks fed...

The aim is to investigate the sub-acute neurotoxic effects of copper sulfate in chicks on motor and neurobehavioral activity and its relation to oxidative stress and histopathological changes in chick brain tissue. Thirty chicks were employed in this experiment, randomly separated into 5 groups of...

A study was carried out for ten weeks to evaluate effect of including treated and untreated jatropha seed meal (JSM) in the ration on feed intake, body weight gain, mortality, and carcass and meat quality traits of Koekoek chicks. Chicks were allotted in five treatment diets with replications and...

[Objectives] The paper was to study the effects of combined application of nonreplicating Toxoplasma uracil auxotmphs (NRTUAs) and Agarieus blazei Murill polysaccharide (ABP) on growth and hum oral immunity of chicks. Methods] A total of 120 one-day old female Hyline brown laying hens were randomly ...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of crossing pure Gimmizah or Bandara (local breeds) with pure Ross (a foreign breed) on growth rate, and the expression of IGF genes. Two local breeds, Gimmizah (G) and Bandara (B), plus one exotic strain of meat-type Ross 308 (R) parents, were used....

Two hundred and twenty eggs from Transylvanian naked neck (TNN) chickens aged 30 wk were used to determine the effect of storage length on hatch window, chick quality, and organ development. Forty-four eggs (11 eggs in 4 replicates) were stored in cold room (16±1.5°C) in batches for 0, 3, 6, 9, and ...

Background: Early gut microbial colonization is important for postnatal growth and immune development of the chicken. However, at present, commercial chickens are hatched and raised without adult hens, thus are cut off from the microbiota transfer between hens and chicks. In this study, we compared ...

No studies have been conducted on the anti-inflammatory effect of allopurinol; eight-day old chicks are used. The aim of this paper was to study the anti-inflammatory action of allopurinol on a chemical pain model, both when administered alone or in combination with diclofenac sodium in chicks;...

One method of prevention of coccidiosis in broiler chickens raised without antibiotics relies on coccidiosis vaccination. Live-coccidiosis vaccines carry the risk for pathogenic effects if the Eimeria species overcycle. However, all chicks must receive an appropriate dose of Eimeria oocysts to...
