Evaluation of high levels of solvent extracted Camelina sativa meal in diets on performance, blood indices, cecal microorganisms, and nutrient digestibility in broilers.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of utilizing high levels of solvent extracted Camelina sativa meal (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz, Arslanbey cultivar) in broilers. A total of 270 Ross 308 male chicks were randomly distributed into five groups.

Effect of dietary β-mannanase supplementation on growth performance and nutrient retention in broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal-based diets with low energy and amino acid density.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two different β-mannanases on growth performance and nutrient retention of broiler chickens fed a diet with low energy and amino acid density. A total of 312 one-day-old male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were placed in floor pens and fed a standard starter diet for 16 days. They were then randomly moved to stainless steel cages and distributed into three groups, with 13 replicates of 8 chickens each.

Suitability of raw and heat-treated Amaranthus spinosus in broiler diets: Effects on growth performance, meat antioxidant capacity, haemato-biochemical parameters, intestinal histomorphometry, and cecal volatile fatty acid profile.

This study aimed to examine the effects of incorporating amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus, either raw or heat-treated) into broiler diets on growth performance, meat antioxidant capacity, haemato-biochemical parameters, intestinal histomorphometry, and cecal volatile fatty acid profile. A total of 210 male Ross 308 broiler chicks were allocated to five dietary treatments in a completely randomized design, with each treatment comprising six replicates of seven birds each. The control group received a diet based on maize and soybean meal, while the remaining dietary groups were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isocaloric to the control, with exact levels of 10% and 20% raw or heat-treated amaranth in the diet.

Sepiolite as an effective supplement for low-protein diets with the constant energy-protein ratio in broilers.

The present study aimed to examine the influence of sepiolite on growth performance, meat quality, intestinal health, some blood parameters, and digestibility of nutrients in broilers fed low-protein diets with the constant energy-protein ratio. A total of 252, daily male broiler chicks were allocated to four treatment groups further divided into 9 replicates each containing 7 chicks. Low-protein diets having a constant energy-protein ratio were formulated by lowering protein and energy levels of the control group diet by 5%.
