Abstract This experiment was conducted at Poultry field, Agricultural Research and Experiment Station, College of Agriculture, Al-Muthanna University from 12/2/2020 to 6/1/2020. A total of 240 oneday, 40 g, Ross 308 broiler chicks, were used. The chicks were reared in four-storey batteries. Each floor contains a cage of dimensions 1.5 × 1 m. The chicks were randomly distributed to four experimental treatments of 60 chicks. For each treatment, three replicates of the treatment (20 chicks/duplicate). The treatments were as T1, T2, T3 and T4were add water extract of chia seeds to drinking water by 0, 2, 4 and 6 ml/liter of drinking water respectively.

This study was conducted at poultry farm of the College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad during the period from the 21st of July to 26th of August of 2001 toidentify the effects of vineger on broiler performance at the two weeks of breeding period during summer season. One hundred and twenty unsexed faw-bro broiler chicks divided randomly into two equal groups consisted of 60 chicks in each (3 replicate of 20 chicks each ) they were exposed to one of the following treatments:-- Treatment 1: tap water for the 7 and 8 weeks of age.- Treatment 2: water + vineger (0.1%) for the same period.The results showed that treat.2 enhanced significantly (P<0.05) body weight compared with treat.1 . The mean body weight were 1200 and 1150 gm at 7 weeks of age and 1500 , 1400 at 8 weeks of age respectively. Also adding 0.1% vineger to drinking water improved significantly (P<0.05) feed intake, feed conversion and decreased mortality at 7 and 8 weeks of age

The Rowett Institute for research on animal nutrition had its origin under a scheme for promoting scientific research in agriculture adopted by the Development Commission in 1911.The Governing Body, which originally consisted of an equal number of members appointed by the Court of the University of Aberdeen and the Governors of the North of Scotland College of Agriculture, was constituted in 1913. Within recent years it has been expanded to include persons nominated by the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Agricultural Research Council, and the Medical Research Council. Research work was begun in temporary accommodation in Marischal College in 1914, under the direction of Dr John Boyd Orr—now Lord Boyd-Orr—who continued as Director until his retirement in 1945.

An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of an acidifier as an alternative to antibiotics on the performance and gut morphology of broiler chickens. One hundred and eighty (180) 7-day old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 3 dietary treatments of 4 replicates each. Each replicate had 15 birds. The diets fed to the birds were: Treatment 1- diet with neither antibiotic nor acidifier; Treatment 2- diet with antibiotic and Treatment 3- diet with acidifier. The antibiotic used was Enrofloxacin which was administered to the birds on Treatment 2 via their drinking water while the acidifier used was Biotronic SE (a combination of propionic and formic acids) which was added to the diet of birds on Treatment 3 at the rate of 4kg/tonne of feed. The experiment lasted 42 days. No significant differences were observed in the feed intake, final weight and weight gain of the birds on the different diets. Significant differences were however observed in the villus height in the duodenum and ileum of the birds. The crypt depth values in the different segments of the small intestines of the birds were not significantly affected by the different treatments.Key words: Organic acids, Biotronic SE, Enrofloxacin, Crypt, villus.

Critical Moments

Phytobiotics are usually tested in feed and throughout the production cycle. However, it could be beneficial to evaluate their effects when administered only during critical moments, such as changes in feeding phases. The aim of the trial was to investigate the effect of a commercial plant extract (PE; IQV-10-P01, InQpharm Animal Health, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on growth performance, blood antiradical activity and cecal microbiome when administered in drinking water to broiler chickens during the post-hatching phase and at each change of diet. In the experiment, 480 1-day-old male broiler chicks were assigned to two groups in a 50-day trial. Broilers received drinking water (C) or drinking water plus PE (T) at a rate of 2 mL/L on days 0 to 4, 10–11 and 20–21. PE did not affect performance and water intake, while total antiradical activity was improved (p < 0.05). A greater abundance of lactic acid bacteria (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05) was found in the T group and the result was confirmed at a lower taxonomic level with higher Lactobacillaceae abundance (FDR < 0.05). Our findings suggest that PE administration during critical moments of the production cycle of broiler chickens may exert beneficial effects at a systemic level and on gut microbial ecology.

Experimental Treatments

The specifications for this study were set by the need for researchers in the Sustainable Grazing Systems (SGS) Program to have a consistent framework to evaluate experimental results across research sites and to share those results in a comprehensive way with livestock producers, allowing them to consider the full range of outcomes and impacts. To achieve this, the framework needed to account for production, economic and natural resource impacts, and other issues associated with making changes on farms. It also had to be easily applied, and readily understood by all segments of the SGS Program. This approach demanded some elements of pragmatism. Economic analysis of production data was based around net cash flow analysis. Spreadsheet programs were written for beef, self-replacing Merino and prime lamb enterprises. These incorporated the capacity to graph results automatically, provide sensitivity analysis tables, and project net cash flow results averaged over a 10-year period. Net cash flows were given for 2 levels of management skills — 'district average' and 'high'. Placing dollar values or costs on resource impacts was not as simple and could not be achieved within the practical framework required. A qualitative approach to the evaluation of resource impacts was developed in collaboration with researchers, advisors and collaborating producers. A framework was constructed which allows the likely on- and off-farm impacts of any experimental treatments to be identified and subjectively rated for likely importance.A practical tool for integrating and reporting the production and resource impact information was constructed. This captures the net cash flow, the key production data, the off-farm and on-farm impacts and provides an overview assessment of the treatment in a simple table. It provides producers with sufficient information to allow an assessment as to whether adoption of any 'treatment' could improve the profitability and sustainability of their grazing system. This tool was tested across all treatments at the SGS National Experiment sites and found to work well. Examples are presented, covering a range of resource impact and net cash flow combinations.
