For broiler chickens, a major mortality cause on the entire exploitation period is represented by the collibacilar infections, which need a correct and efficient treatment. The mortality in 94 broiler chickens was studied, between three and thirty days of age, from four avian farms from Satu-Mare co...

This experiment aimed at improving the quality of rice bran using multi-enzymes and probiotics (MEP) as a feed additive for broilers. The treatments comprised a control (PO with 45% yellow corn without MEP), and P1, P2 and P3 replacd with 10% rice bran treated with 0.500, 0.750, 1.000g multi-enzymes...

Phosphorus is essential for broiler growth and bone development, but its bioavailability from plant-based feed is restricted by phytate binding. Phytase supplementation enhances nutrient utilization by breaking down phytate, improving phosphorus availability, growth performance, gut health, and redu...

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of heat-stress on blood biochemical and hormonal parameters of broilers from 34 to 49 days of age. The birds were exposed to daily cyclic high temperature of 26-35-26℃ in the first week and 28-38-28℃ in the second week. Blood samples, collected at 2...
