    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the interactions between corn particle size (PS) and conditioning temperature (CT) on the performance, carcass traits, intestinal morphology, and immune responses in broilers fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet. A total of 360 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly allocated into six dietary treatments in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement, consisting of two corn PS (finely ground with geometric mean diameter (GMD) of 357 µm (PS

    Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of dietary supplementation of bovine lactoferrin (bLF) on growth performance, carcass traits, histomorphology of jejunum, immune function and hepatic and splenic gene expression of interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ) and interleukine‐2 (IL‐2) in broiler chickens. A total of 240 one‐day‐old Ross 308 male broiler chickens were randomly allotted into six dietary treatments with four replicate pens (10 chicks per pen) and fed experimental diet in 3 feeding phases (starter: d 0–10, grower: d 11–24 and finisher: d 25–42). The experimental treatments were (1) corn–soya bean meal‐based basal diet (control), (2–5) basal diet supplemented with 200, 400, 600, 800 mg/kg bLF, respectively, and (6) basal diet supplemented with 200 mg/kg oxytetracycline (OTC). The average body weight gain (ABWG) of broilers fed 800 mg/kg bLF was 8.48% higher than those fed a corn–soybean meal‐based diet during the starter period (d 0–10) (linear effect, p = 0.002; quadratic effect, p = 0.24). Average daily feed intake (ADFI) and the feed conversion ratio (FCR) were not affected (p>0.05) by bLF supplementation. At 42 days of age, the breast meat percentage and carcass yield of broilers fed 800 mg/kg bLF compared with the control group significantly increased by 9.51% and 6.03% respectively (p < 0.05). Compared with the chicks fed the control diet, the chicks fed diets supplemented with bLF had higher villus height, muscle thickness and villus surface area (p > 0.05). Dietary bLF inclusion increased the total immunoglobulin (IgT) titre against sheep red blood cells (SRBCs) antigen (linear effect, p = 0.031; quadratic effect, p = 0.035) and improved the phytohaemagglutinin‐P (PHA‐P)‐skin test of broilers. Compared with the control, bLF enhanced the gene expression of IFN‐γ in spleen (p = 0.048, linear effect, p = 0.009; quadratic effect, p = 0.093) and liver (p = 0.012, linear effect, p = 0.008; quadratic effect, p = 0.01) and IL‐2 expression in spleen (p = 0.021, linear effect, p = 0.026; quadratic effect, p = 0.103). The bLF supplementation had no effect on IL‐2 gene expression in liver (p > 0.05, linear effect, p = 0.213; quadratic effect, p = 0.159). In conclusion, we found that supplementation of broiler diets with 800 mg/kg bLF can improve the growth performance, carcass yield, cell‐mediated and antibody‐mediated immune responses and enhance the IL‐2 and IFN‐γ gene expression of broilers.

    Abstract Leucine (Leu) is one of the essential amino acids, and has a direct effect on protein biosynthesis in broiler skeletal muscle. So supply of sufficient amounts of Leu in young broiler is of interest. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to estimate the optimal digestible Leu in ratio to lysine (Lys) of female broiler chickens from 8 to 21 d. A dose-response trial was performed, and the optimal digestible Leu was estimated applying broken-lines and quadratic regression models. A total of 540 one-wk-old female broiler chickens (Cobb-500), were randomly distributed to 6 dietary treatments (6 replicate of 15 birds in each), and fed the experimental diets from 8 to 21 d of age. Dietary digestible Leu was supplied from 0.93% up to 1.18% in 0.05% increments. Wheat-soybean meal based diet was formulated to be deficient in Leu, and dietary treatments were created by gradually replacing crystalline L-glutamic acid with crystalline L-Leu in basal diet. The live performance and carcass traits were evaluated, and excretion and retention of nitrogen was measured. The results showed that weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), carcass weight, and breast weight had a quadratically response to digestible Leu: Lys from 0.93 to 1.18. Also, none of the retention and excretion of nitrogen were affected by increasing dietary digestible Leu levels. Based on the obtained data in the current study, the optimal digestible Leu: Lys of female Cobb 500 broilers fed with wheat-based diets from 8 to 21 d of age was estimated between 0.99 and 1.12 with an average of 1.06 based on quadratic broken-line model as the concluded value.
