...thological conditions in chickens. The size, uniformity, and spherical shape of PN were measured at 4.065 ±1.12nm, with a polydispersity index of 0.021 which allows for easy blood vessel passage and renal clearance, fresh preparation without adding stabilizer cause zeta potential was recorded at -10 mV. Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PN efficacy was found to be 111.5 ug/mL and had a functioning group-specific fingerprint that showing di...

... vaccine (H9) in broiler chickens. Four groups of chickens were established as follow: a negative control, a positive control (vaccine only), a group receiving the vaccine with amikacin, and a group receiving the vaccine with gentamicin. Hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titers were measured to assess antibody responses in addition to performance parameters. The obtained results demonstrated a reduction in antibody levels aga...

...tionally, giving broiler chickens linseed oil enhances their immunological response to the Newcastle vaccine. The current study showed that adding linseed oil to chick feeds increases immunological response, body composition, serum biochemical parameters, intestinal morphology and growth performance beside decreasing mortality ratio. However, it is not economically feasible when matched with control groups (0% oiland 1% SBO).

A complete description by direct observation, individual weighing, and body parts measurements were determined. The results of the study showed a significant diversity of plumage colors in the studied populations. Birds of the dominant yellow color represent the average proportion of 20 %. Birds...

This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with brown seaweed Padina australis levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15% in broiler chicken diets, with each treatment repeated five times. The parameters measured were daily feed intake, daily body weight gain, feed conversion, final body weight , carcass percentage, abdominal fat pad percentage, and physiological organs of broiler chickens...

...carcass quality of local chickens. The research method was a field experiment with a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 5 replications, resulting in 25 treatment units. A total of 25 pen units, each measuring 1 m × 0.5 m × 0.5 m, were used. Each pen was equipped with a feed and water bunk, and 250-day-old chicks (DOCs) of local chickens were used to assess body weight variability and were ra...

...orporating probiotics in chickens can improve feed nutrient assimilation, ration intake, meat protein content, and weight gain while reducing the feed conversion ratio. Probiotics commonly include bacteria and fungi. Notable microorganisms in this category are Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) such as Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp., as well as fungi like Saccharomyces spp., Rhizopus spp., and Mucor spp. These microbes specifically target the gastrointest...

The study demonstrated that the implemented approach effectively guaranteed the well-being of the herd, leading to optimal productivity without any issues or deaths. Furthermore, the presence of maternal antibodies might be observed till the age of 5 days, suggesting the extent of immunity established before vaccination. Upon conducting a challenge with NDV, the results demonstrated a noteworthy rise in HI and ELIZA titers in...

We employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five different treatments and four replications, with each replication including two chickens. The addition of MFNE products at a concentration of 225 mg/kg to the feed positively influenced both dry matter digest...
