“…Plasma was collected and stored at -20 °C until analysis. Humoral immune responses were measured from samples collected on days 16 and 34 for Newcastle disease virus (NDV), on day 30 for avian influenza (AI), and on day 40 for infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and infectious bursal disease (Gumboro) (Pourhossein et al, 2015).…”

This study investigated the growth performance, carcass characteristics, blood biochemistry, humoral immunity and caecal microbiota of broiler chicks fed 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% olive meal (OM) in diet. In addition, this study investigated the use of enzymatic feed supplements (β-glucanase, phytase and hemicellulase) to enhance digestibility of high fibre diets. At the end of the feeding period (42 days), there were no significant differences among dietary groups on broiler growth performance, including bodyweight (BW) and bodyweight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion efficiency (FCE). The evaluated carcass traits and meat cuts (breast, drumsticks and wings) did not vary among dietary treatments. Although some minor differences were observed in blood albumin and cholesterol concentrations among groups, the cecum microbiota did not differ in broilers. Antibody titers following vaccinations against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and Gumboro disease were higher in birds fed 4% OM. Adding supplemental enzymes to diet had minimal effect on the parameters. Findings from this study support the literature, which suggests that OM is a suitable feed byproduct in broiler diets. Moreover, including OM in poultry rations has the potential to provide an economic and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diets. Finally, the current trial identified that the addition of enzymes was not necessary to achieve optimal productive performance in broiler fed diet containing OM. ______________________________________________________________________________

“…Antibody titers against IBV and Gumboro were measured with commercial ELISA kits (Bio-check BV, Gouda, Holland) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The absorbance of ELISA controls and samples was read at 405 nm using a plate reader (Bio-Tek Instruments Inc. ELX 800; Winooski, VT, USA), as described by Pourhossein et al (2015).…”

“…Blood samples were taken from one broiler chicken randomly chosen on day 42 according Citrus sinensis peels and broiler chickens to the same procedure adopted elsewhere (Poorghasemi et al, 2015;Pourhossein et al, 2015). Hemagglutination inhibition test was used to determine vaccine titers of Newcastle disease (ND) and avian influenza (AI).…”

Two hundred broiler chickens (Ross-308) were used in a completely randomised study to evaluate the effects of supplementing the feed with different levels of dried Citrus sinensis peel (DCSP) on the gasrointestinal microbial population and immune system traits. Feed was supplemented with different DCSP amounts: 0.25% w/w (DCSP-0.25), 0.5% w/w (DCSP-0.50), 0.75% w/w (DCSP-0.75), and 1% w/w (DCSP-1). Control diet (DCSP-0), with no feed additition was used as reference. The study involved five treatments in a time frame of six weeks (four replicates per treatment and each replicate had 10 chickens). Data analysis was performed using SAS software and mean comparison was performed using the Duncan test. The results allowed to observe that the mean of Escherichia coli in caecum on day 42 was significantly different (P<0.05) but did not affect other gastrointestinal microbial population traits (P>0.05). The mean of total sheep red blood cells and immunoglobulin G and M (IgG and IgM) on day 28 (P>0.05) were also determined. Total sheep red blood cells on day 42 were significantly different (P<0.05). The IgG and IgM mean titers on days 28 and 42 was of no significant difference (P>0.05). Supplementing the feed with Citrus sinensis had no significant effect on Newcastle disease on day 42 (P>0.05). The mean value for hemagglutination inhibition on day 42 was significantly different (P<0.05). It can be then concluded that DCSP feed supplemention ameliorated the gastrointestinal microbiota and immune system traits.

“…According to the method described by Pourhossein et al (2015), sheep red blood cells (SRBC) suspension [5% phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)] was injected into the breast muscle of 48 birds (6 per each group) ageing 21 and 35 days. Blood samples were withdrawn from the brachial vein and serum was collected after centrifugation at 1500× g for 15 min.…”

The effect of in ovo administration of different levels of betaine and choline on egg hatchability, immune response, growth and carcass traits of broiler chickens was studied. Four thousand hatching eggs from Ross 308 broiler breeder layers, weighed individually, were incubated for 21 days in a commercial hatchery. At 12 th day of incubation, 3456 fertilized eggs were randomly divided into 8 experimental groups of 3 replicates each (144 eggs per replicate): negative control (NC) -not injected; positive control (PC) -injected with 0.5 mL deionized water; Bet 0.25 -injected with 0.5 mL deionized water+0.25 mg soluble betaine; Bet 0.375 -injected with 0.5 mL deionized water+0.375 mg soluble betaine; Bet 0.50 -injected with 0.5 mL deionized water+0.50 mg soluble betaine; Chol 0.25 -injected with 0.5 mL deionized water+0.25 mg soluble choline; Chol 0.375 -injected with 0.5 mL deionized water+0.375 mg soluble choline; Chol 0.50 -injected with 0.5 mL deionized water+0.50 mg soluble choline. Among the hatched chickens, 360 males were randomly chosen (45 for each group) and were grown up to 42 nd day of age. The embryo mortality, pecked eggs, infected eggs and hatchability percentages were similar among the experimental groups. The betaine and choline treatments improved hatching weight and final weight of chickens, while reduced feed conversion ratio and abdominal fat percentage. No effect on carcass yield, and breast muscle, leg and wings percentages, as well as on immunoglobulin M (IgM), G (IgG), and total antibody (IgT) titers was observed. The treatments had little effect on internal organs.
