“…No favorable effects were observed in the relative weight of internal organs except in spleen (Table 4). The current results were confirmed by (32,33) who showed no obvious effect of Sop on relative weight of liver, gizzard, heart and bursa. Furthermore, our results confirmed that the Sop at levels of 1to 2% did not have any side effects on internal organs.…”

This study investigated the role of vitamin C and Citrus Sinensis peel (sweet orange peel (Sop)) on growth, carcass characteristics and health status in 160 one day old broiler chickens (Ross308) which were randomly divided into four equal groups consisting 4 pens. Each pen having 10 birds (5 male and 5 female) for 35 days. All chicks were exposed to heat stress (33 0 C) during all the experimental period (35 days). Group one considered as control, groups 2, 3, 4 were given feed containing vitamin C (500ppm/ feed), sweet orange peel (Sop) (1,2 % respectively). Sop 2% significantly increased average body weight gain and feed intake during the grower period (16-28) (P<0.05). The birds fed Sop 2% during the whole experimental period had higher FI and greater feed conversion ratio (P<0.05) compared to the other groups. The mortality rate tended to be the lowest in the birds fed the feed additives (P<0.05). The relative weight of internal organs, blood profiles pictures were not affected by Sop with two tested levels (P<0.05) or vitamin C compared with the control group. Broiler fed vitamin C or Sop levels had greater primary and secondary antibody responses to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and against phytohemagglutinin (PHA-P) antigen compared with those in the control group (P<0.05). Sop and vitamin C increased antibodies titer against Newcastle disease during the secondary antibody response (P<0.05). Overall, Sop as feed additive improved immune responses in broiler chickens under heat stress. Also the result indicate that the Sop 2 % during the grower period had a positive effect on growth performance of broiler chickens under heat stress.

“…In the same manner, Sherif et al (2010) observed that dietary parsley straw and caraway straw mixture (1:1) did not affect DCP, TDN or DE of the NZW rabbit diets. Moreover, the present results cited herein agreed with those of Perez et al (1991), Hon et al (2009), and Suliman (2012) who found that apparent digestibility of DM, CP and CF did not differ between the control diet and diets containing 70% replacement with different fiber sources. Impairment of the nutrients digestibility and nutritive values with raising CVS level till 30% (100% instead of clover hay) without MOS or NZ in rabbit diet may be due to increasing ADL level of such diet ( Table 2).…”

EFFECTS OF REPLECING CLOVER HAY BY CUCUMBER (Cucumis sativus L.) VINES STRAW WITHOUT OR WITH NATUZYME OR PREBIOTIC CONTANING MANAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE IN NZW RABBIT DIETS ON NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY, CAECAL, CARCASS CHARACTERISTIES AND SOME BLOOD CONSTITUENTS

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of using cucumber vines straw (CVS) instead of clover hay in growing NZW rabbit diets without or with prebiotic (mannan oligosaccharide ,MOS) or multi-enzyme (Natuzyme, NZ) supplementation on nutrient digestibility, nutritive values, caecal microbial activity and its volatile fatty acids (VFAs) content, carcass traits and some blood constituents. A total number of 63 six-week old NZW rabbits were randomly divided into 7 groups; each group included 3 replicates of 3 rabbits each and reared in metallic batteries under similar conditions. Graded levels of cucumber vines straw were used to replace 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% clover hay, 100% clover hay level without or with NZ or MOS at 1g/kg diet each, respectively, and to form 7 pelleted diets similar in all nutrients content and fed to rabbits from 6 to 12 weeks old. Results show that neither dietary CVS till 30% level (100% instead of clover hay) nor supplementation with NZ or MOS had significant effects on caecal VFA content (Acetate, propionate, Butyrate, Isobutyrate, Valerate, Isovalerate), carcass characteristics (skin+foot, liver, heart, kidneys and abdominal fat weights as percentages of live body weight) and plasma constituents (total lipids, total cholesterol, creatinine and enzymatic activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspertate aminotransferase (AST)). Moreover, all other studied performance traits were not influenced with CVS-diets till 22.5% or 30% level supplemented with NZ or MOS. However feeding 30% CVS-diet without NZ or MOS significantly decreased nutrients digestibility coefficients, nutritive values (digestible crude protein, total digestible nutrients, and digestible energy, caecal pH value, relative carcass yield weights for carcass empty, total edible parts and plasma constituents (total proteins, albumin and globulin) and increased caecal ammonia (NH3-N) concentration compared with those of control. Supplementing NZ or MOS into 30% CVS diet significantly negated (similar to control) all these adverse effects occurred by this level of CVS on studied traits. It could be concluded that CVS can be successfully used till 22.5% level (75% of clover hay) for feeding growing NZW rabbits without any healthy troubles or adverse effects, such level may be raised till 30% (100% instead of clover hay) in NZW rabbit diets supplemented with either NZ or MOS.

“…Sun dried orange peel meal and citrus pulp has been used as untraditional calorie and protein source in broiler diets (Oluremi et al, 2006;De Bals et al, 2018). Hon et al (2009) concluded that sweet orange pulp meal could be utilized up to 20% of growing rabbit diets without any adverse effects on performance. Wang et al (2017) found that using citrus pulp in geese diets less than 12% had no negative effects on growth performance and carcass traits.…”

The current study investigated the effect of replacement of Untreated Orange Pulp (UOP) and Treated Orange Pulp (TOP) protein by basal diet protein on growth performance, digestion coefficients, some blood constitute of rabbits and economic efficiency of growing rabbit diets. Sixty cross bread (New Zealand White, NZW X California), six weeks of age with live body weight ranging from 729.20 to 738.30g were divided to five experimental groups. The experimental diets were T1, control diet without OP; T2, 5%UOP; T3, 5% TOP; T4, 10%UOP and T5, 10%TOP. The results indicated that TOP by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast increased content of the crude protein (%) and digestible energy (Kcal/kg). The best Final Body Weight (FBW, g), Body Weight Gain (BWG, g/R/day) and feed conversion ratio recorded in 5%TOP group. Digestion coefficient of Crude Protein and Digestible Crude Protein (DCP%) were significantly (P˂0.05) increased in rabbits fed low replacement level of OP (5% UOP and 5%TOP). Total lipid of plasma was significantly differences (P˂0.05) in groups fed experimental diets compared to control group. Liver function was significantly affected by experimental diets, yeast treatment and replacement level of OP. Best economic efficiency observed with 10%UOP followed by 5%TOP. It was concluded that rabbit group fed 5%TOP recorded a better performance, best digestibility for CP%, DCP and economic efficiency. Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast treatment didn't effect on digestibility and nutritive value of growing rabbits.
