“…The findings were in agreement with Adebiyi et al (2011) and Mehala and Moorthy (2008) who reported better FCR values in birds fed with Vitamin E and Turmeric had no significant effect on the FCR in broilers. The results of the study revealed that birds fed with neem and its combinations had negative effect on FCR as compared to control and other treatment groups.…”

An experiment was conducted to study the efficiency of inclusion of neem, turmeric, vitamin E and its combinations on performance and hematological parameters for a period of six weeks with 288 day old Raja II broiler chicks. Basal diet was supplemented with Azadirachta indica (Neem 8g/kg feed), Curcuma longa (Turmeric 2g/kg feed) and Vitamin E 0.2g/kg feed) individually and in combination to form eight test diets. Each test diet was fed ad libitum for 42 days. The result of the present stumdy identified no significant difference in body weight of chicks fed with supplemented diets. Whereas, addition of either neem alone or in combination with turmeric and vitamin E induced significant growth depression in birds compared to control birds. Supplementation of neem, turmeric, Vitamin E and their combinations in broiler diets did not exhibit any significant effect on feed intake and feed conversion ratio during all the weeks of age. The percentage livability of birds under different treatments was statistically non-significant. Hematological parameters in broilers revealed that the hemoglobin concentration in neem fed group was significantly (P<0.05) higher (10.5 g/dL) when compared to turmeric fed group (9.85 g/dL), otherwise diet containing turmeric alone recorded lowest value of hemoglobin. Feeding of neem alone and its combination with turmeric and vitamin E increases significantly PCV values as compared to control. The supplementation of turmeric or vitamin E alone to basal diet did not significantly change PCV values.

“…The birds that reared under closed house has received the significant effect with meatiness except the ratio breast muscle to the bone weight, the meatiness of the thigh and the breast. The researchers (Kurcubic et al, 2006); (Hossain et al, 2011) and (Adebiyi and Adu 2011) also agreed with the current research that the housing condition affected to the performances of the broilers.…”

“…When considering the previous studies (Adebiyi and Adu, 2011); (Traits et al, 2012) ( Hossain et al, 2011) and (Almasi et al, 2012) those were agreed that strain had significantly affected to the yield of the broiler production. It means the HC has more flesh, more edible part when comparing with inedible part, as well as the live weight and the bone weight.…”

Today Sri Lankan broiler industry has changed, selling of the whole carcass to separated carcass parts or deboned parts. In the processing industry there is a higher demand to gain the higher edible part, muscle yield and specially the breast muscle. The study was conducted to investigate the effect of strain and housing condition (open and close houses) to determine the meat yield of the broiler carcass. Hubbard Classic (HC), Hubbard Flex (HF), Hubbard 15 (H15) and Cobb 500 (C500) were the four commercial strains. At 38 days of their age, a total of 160 birds (40 birds from each strain / 80 birds from each housing condition) were randomly selected, slaughtered, eviscerated, weights were measured and dissected in to the separated parts (breast, thigh and drumstick). Weights of the body parts were recorded, deboned and the meat yield was measured. The research was designs by two factorial design. Data were statistically analyzed by using two-way Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) of SAS, 9 version. The birds that reared under the close houses showed the highest drumstick meatiness (p<0.05). The ratio of the breast muscle weight to all other muscles, the meatiness of the thigh and breast were not significant affected from the housing condition. When considering the effect of the strain the HC has gained the overall superiority except the meatiness of the breast (p > 0.05) and the thigh (p < 0.05). The HF was resulted the highest ratio for it. Other four indicators the HC resulted the higher ratio over the other three strain (p<0.05). As a conclusion, it can be recommended to the industry, rearing of HC under closed house system to gain higher meat yield.

“…In this respect, vitamin E supplementation has been investigated because of the reported benefits in laying hens during heat stress, and reduced body vitamin E levels during heat stress (Sahin et al, 2001). Many studies have reported that the inclusion of vitamin E in broiler diets not only reduces oxidative stress, but also improves the overall performance, as demonstrated by the higher body weight gain and reduced FCR of broilers fed vitamin E (Adebiyi et al, 2011).…”

“…The supplementation of vitamin E to Japanese quail diets significantly alleviated heat stress-related performance impairment, suggesting that dietary vitamin E supplementation is necessary under heat stress conditions (Sahin & Kucuk, 2001). The supplementation of vitamin E to broilers is also an important factor for the health of humans consuming chicken meat (Adebiyi et al, 2011) as it is known to improve meat quality by upregulating the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes in broilers (Niu et al, 2017).…”

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with vitamin E and stocking density on the mortality, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, European production efficiency factor, heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratio and liver glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of broilers. In total, 570 one-dayold Vencobb 400 broiler chickens were randomly assigned to three treatments, with six replicates each. G1 served as normal control and birds were provided a normal floor space (0.0465 m 2 /bird from day 1 to 21 and 0.0929 m 2 /bird from day 22 to 42) and basal diet containing vitamin E at 70 g/ton feed (n=150). G2 and G3 birds were subjected to high stocking density (0.0279 m 2 /bird from day 1 to 21 and 0.0557 m 2 / bird from day 22 to 42). G2 served as the high stocking density (HSD) control, birds were offered a basal diet with no vitamin E (n=210), whereas G3 birds were fed a basal diet containing vitamin E at 70 g/ ton feed (n=210). The birds were fed with feed and water ad libitum throughout the study period. The supplementation of vitamin E to the birds subjected to HSD had a positive effect on body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), European Production Efficiency Factor (EPEF), H/L ratio, and liver GSH and MDA levels with those subjected to HSD and not supplemented with vitamin E. The results of the present study indicate that the supplementation of vitamin E at 70g/ton of feed to broilers subjected to HSD could effectively reverse the negative effects of HSD, and improve broiler performance.
