he aim of the study was estimated the effect of silver nanoparticles as a water supplementation in broiler chicken on productive performance, carcass characteristics and bone measurements at five weeks feeding trail. A total number of 150 (cobb 500) were divided randomly into 5 treatment (30 chicks each), each treatment replicated 3 time of 10 chicks. The experimental treatments were supplemented the drinking water with different levels of silver nanoparticles (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 ppm). At the end of experiment 4 birds of each treatment were slaughtered to estimate carcass characteristics and bone measurements. The results showed that live body weight, daily body weight gain, daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio, performance index and European production efficiency factor weren’t affected significantly by treatments. All carcass traits and cuts also weren’t affected significantly by different levels of silver nanoparticles except breast%. There weren’t significant differences between treatment in all bone physical or chemical measurements except tibia breaking strength where it decreased significantly in all treated groups and ash% where it increased significantly in all treated groups. In conclusion, supplemented different levels of silver nanoparticles in broiler drinking water hadn’t negative effect on growth performance, carcass characteristic or bone measurements.

his is study was conducted to evaluate the Corn hybrid single cross 10 (S.C. 10) was cultivated at two planting density rates of low density was 20 thousand plants per feddan (20TPF) or high density was 30 thousand plants per feddan (30TPF) as a silage through two digestibility trials were conducted using Rhmani rams to determine nutrients digestibility and nutritive values. The yield of corn crop and plant parts (ears, stems and leaves) were estimated for each sub-plots and calculated per feddan. Whole corn plants were harvested after 92 days of planting at the dough stage of maturity, chopped to 1-1.5 cm of length and ensiled in plastic bags for 35 days.. Representative samples of corn silage were analyzed for composition, fiber fractions and silage quality. Results revealed that high corn plant density showed significantly higher yield of fresh corn crop and TDN (P<0.05) and dry crop and CP and DCP (P<0.01), however, fresh and dry plant weight were lower significantly (P<0.01) compared to low plant density. The percentage of ears was significantly higher (P<0.01), however percentages of stems and leaves were significantly lower (P<0.05) for low plant density compared with high plant density. Low corn plant density revealed significantly higher contents of DM, OM (P<0.05), NFE and NFC (P<0.01) and lower contents of CP, ash (P<0.05), CF, NDF, ADF, ADL, hemicellulose and cellulose (P<0.001) with compared to high corn plant density. The concentrations of total volatile fatty acids (TVFA’s, P<0.05), lactic, propionic, isobutyric, isovaleric and valeric acids were higher, however, pH value and the concentrations of TVFA’s, NH3-N (P<0.05), acetic and butyric acids were lower in low plant density compared to high plant density silage. The DMI and digestibility coefficients of DM, OM, NFE and NFC and TDN value were significantly higher (P<0.05), however, the digestibility coefficients of CP, CF, EE, NDF, ADF, ADL, hemicellulose and cellulose and DCP value were significantly lower (P<0.05) for high plant density compared to low plant density corn silage. Ruminal pH value, the concentration of NH3-N (P<0.05) were lower, however, the concentrations of TVFA’s (P<0.05), propionic, isobutyric, isovaleric and valeric acids were higher with high corn plant density compared to low density corn silage. While, acetic and butyric acids concentrations were nearly similar. There were no significant differences in rent of land, cultivation cost and total cost between low and high plant density. Whereas, high corn plant density recorded higher output of silage yield and output improvement (P<0.01), net revenue and net revenue improvement (P<0.001) compared to low corn plant density.

owering dietary phosphorous (P) in poultry diets allows to reduce feed cost, environmental impact and to improve the welfare of broiler. 180 unsexed one day-old Cobb 500 were distributed equal in to 6 dietary treatments in 3 replicates of 10 chicks each. Current Ca and P recommendation of Cobb 500 broiler was considered as control (T1) for starter and grower phase (100/100). The rest 5 dietary treatments (T2-6) were formulated to meet (100/75-T2), (100/50-T3), (75/75-T4), (75/50T5), (50/50-T6) of Ca and P levels for starter and grower phase. Body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, carcass traits and economic efficiency were determined to evaluated and examine the effect of reduced levels Ca and P in broiler chicks diet. The results indicated that: Growth performance showed that, all chicks fed the reduced Ca and P diets (T2-6) didn’t show any growth depression. Besides it was interestingly obtained that all reduced Ca and P diets has better body weight gain and fed conversion ratio than control. Carcass traits (carcass% and Total edible parts%) were nonsignificantly different for all treatment group. Economical evaluation study indicated that chicks fed on lower levels of Ca and P below the requirements enhance economic efficiency. The results of the present study showed that the current Ca and P recommendation of Cobb 500 broilers could be lower than real requirement and needs to be updated. So it was concluded that 50% reduction can be possible in dietary Ca and P level of broiler diets, and this wouldn’t cause any impairment in broiler growth and carcass traits. In conclusion: The result indicated that broiler chicks fed on lower levels of Ca and P below the requirements had a positive effect on the economic efficiency of broiler chicks, without any adverse effects characteristics.

his experiment was conducted to study the effect of using low crud protein level fortified by lysine and methionine with or without microbial phytase on growth, feed utilization, carcass characteristics, blood constituents and economic efficiency of broiler chicks. Corn – soy bean basal diet was formulated to 23 21 – 19 % CP and 3000 3100 – 3200 kcal ME / Kg diet, used during starter, grower and finisher experimental periods. While, the second group fed low crud protein 3% points (20 – 1816 % CP) and lysine (Lys) and methionine (Met) level containing diets 90% with 500 FTU phytase during experimental periods compared to control basal diet, whereas the third groups fed 2 diets without phytase respectively, the fourth and fifth groups received the same diet fortified by lysine and methionine 100% from the requirements of strain recommendation with or without phytase supplemented respectively. While, groups 6 and 7 fortified their diet by Lys and Met up to 110% from the requirements of strain recommendation with or without phytase supplemented respectively. A total of 315 unsexed day-old Ross × Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly distributed into 7 groups of similar chick numbers. The criteria considered were live body weight (LBW), body weight gain (BWG), relative growth rate (RGR), feed consumption (FC) and conversion ratio (FCR), protein intake, metabolizable energy intake and utilization (MEU), lysine intake (Lys.I), methionine intake (Met.I), slaughter characteristics and blood constituents. The economic efficiency of the product was also calculated. The obtained data showed that reducing the protein concentration resulted in (LBW), (BWG), (RGR), (FC), (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), protein conversion ratio (PCR), MEU), (Lys.I), (Met.I), Liver weight, relative weight of dressing and abdominal fat, serum total protein and albumin, net return (NR) and economic efficiency significantly increased by fortified Lys & Met with phytase supplementation than other groups. The results indicate that it is possible to reduce crude protein diets by 3% and fortified Lys & Met in starter, grower or finisher broiler chicken rations with adding phytase to these rations without negative effect on growth performance, feed utilization, carcass characteristics and blood constituents.

total number of one hundred eighty unsexed seven-days-old quails were used in present study in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement (2 levels of vitamin A, 0 and 40,000 IU/kg feed) and three levels of vitamin D3 (0, 1500 and 3000 ICU/kg feed). Chicks were randomly divided into six equal treatments of three replicates of ten quails each. Results showed that vitamin A affects significantly (P<0.05) on body weight (BW) at 28 and 35days of age. The highest level of vitamin A (40,000 IU) achieved an increase in BW. Also, vitamin D affects significantly (P<0.05) BW at 42 days of age. The highest levels of both vitamin A and D3(40,000 IU vitamin A and 3000 ICU vitamin D3) in treatment 6 achieved the heights BW compared to control treatment. Vitamin A affects significantly (P<0.05) body weight gain (BWG) during the period from 7-28 and 7-42days of age. The highest level of vitamin A (40,000 IU) achieved an increase in BWG. However, vitamin D affects significantly (P<0.05) on BWG during the period from 7-42 days of age. Vitamin A affects significantly (P<0.05) on feed consumption during (14-21), (21-28), (28-35), and (35-42) days of age. Vitamin A affect significantly (P<0.05) on feed conversion ratio (FCR) during the period from 7-35 and 7-42 days of age. Vitamin D3 affects significant (P>0.05) on FCR during the period from 7-14, 721 ,7-28 ,7-35, and 7-42 days of age. The highest levels of both vitamin A and D3(40,000 IU vitamin A and 3000 ICU of vitamin D3/kg) achieved the best values of both BW and BWG compared to control group. Vitamin A didn't affect significantly on carcass characteristics, but vitamin D3 affects significantly on gizzard weight and the highest levels of vitamin D3 (1500 and 3000 ICU /kg feed) achieved a decrease in gizzard weight. Also, the level of 3000 ICU achieved increase in carcass constituents.It can be concluded that the level of 40000 IU vitamin A/kg achieved the highest values of both body weight and body weight gain. The addition of 3000 ICU of vitamin D3/kg feed improved FCR. Therefore, the results of this study show the improvement of growth performance and carcass traits in Japanese quail, especially at the level of 40000 IU vitamin A/kg or 3000 IU/kg of vitamin D3/kg.

his study was carried out to investigate the effect of inclusion of dietary supplementation of some medicinal plant (oregano, rosemary and peppermint) on nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, blood metabolites and performance of finishing lambs. Twenty-four Saidi male lambs with average body weight of 39.44 ± 0.61 kg were randomly distributed into four groups, each with six animals in a completely randomized design for 60 days’ experimental period. The experimental groups were a control group fed basal diet containing 70% concentrate mixture plus 30 % wheat straw and treated groups was fed basal diet plus 2.5 % dried Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) (ORG), the second group fed 2.5% dried Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) (ROS) and the third group was fed 2.5% dried Peppermint (Mentha piperita L) (MEN). The oregano, rosemary and peppermint were added and mixed with concentrate mixture. Four digestibility trials were carried out using twelve rams. Inclusion oregano and rosemary were improved (P<0.05) the digestibility of crude protein as compared with control and peppermint diet. The addition medicinal plants to sheep ration increased (P<0.05) CF digestibility as compared with control one. The nutritive value of rations in terms of total digestible nutrients (TDN) and digestible crude protein (DCP) were significantly (P˂0.05) higher in medicinal plants groups than that of control group. Supplements of medicinal plants in sheep diets decreased (P<0.05) ruminal ammonia-N and total protozoal count and increased ruminal VFA’s while had no effect on rumen pH when compared with the control group. It was found that no significant (P> 0.05) differences among groups in body weight, average daily gain, feed intake and feed conversion. The average value of serum total protein, globulin and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were significantly higher in group fed medicinal plant than the control. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides and urea concentration were decreased (P<0.05) in all medicinal plant groups when compared with control group. In conclusion, supplements of some medicinal plants like oregano; rosemary and peppermint to the diets of fatting lambs at rate of 2.5% in concentrate mixture improved nutrient digestibility, feeding value and rumen fermentation. Also, the growth performance and blood biochemical parameters were improved particular with addition oregano and rosemary in fattening sheep.
本试验旨在研究饲粮中添加某些药用植物(牛至、迷迭香和薄荷)对育肥羔羊营养物质消化率、瘤胃发酵、血液代谢产物和生产性能的影响。选取24只平均体重为39.44±0.61 kg的赛地公羊羔，随机分为4组，每组6只，采用完全随机设计，试验期60 d。试验组为对照组，在基础饲粮中添加70%精料混合物+ 30%麦秸，试验组在基础饲粮中添加2.5%干牛至(Origanum vulgare L.) (ORG)，第二组添加2.5%干迷迭香(Rosmarinus officinalis L.) (ROS)，第三组添加2.5%干薄荷(Mentha piperita L) (MEN)。加入牛至、迷迭香和薄荷，混合成浓缩混合物。选用12只公羊进行4项消化率试验。添加牛至和迷迭香提高了各组体重、平均日增重、采食量和饲料系数的差异(P 0.05)。组饲药用植物的血清总蛋白、球蛋白和总抗氧化能力平均值显著高于对照组。与对照组相比，各药用植物组血清胆固醇、甘油三酯和尿素浓度均降低(P<0.05)。总之，补充一些药用植物，比如牛至;在精料混合物中添加2.5%的迷迭香和薄荷可提高饲粮中营养物质的消化率、饲用价值和瘤胃发酵。牛至叶和迷迭香对育肥羊的生长性能和血液生化指标有显著的改善作用。
