Metal distribution in tissues of free‐range chickens near a lead–zinc mine in Kabwe, Zambia
Concentrations of Pb, Cd, and other metals in tissues of 17 free‐range and 32 commercial broiler chickens from the Kabwe mining town in Zambia were determined. Mean concentrations of Pb and Cd exceeded maximum levels for human consumption in some organs including muscle (Pb only) in free‐range chickens, in contrast to low levels in broiler chickens. Human consumers in Kabwe could be exposed to ...

Modifying broiler diets with phytase and vitamin d metabolite (25-OH D3): impact on phosphorus in litter, amended soils, and runoff
Received for publication April 14, 2009. Adding phytase and 25- hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH D3) to broiler diets has been shown effective at reducing total P concentrations in broiler litter. This study was conducted to determine the impact of field application of broiler litter from modified diets on P solubility in litter-amended soils and P losses in runoff. Five broiler diets and their ...

Prevalence and types of Campylobacter on poultry farms and in their direct environment
To study whether broiler and layer farms contribute to the environmental Campylobacter load, environmental matrices at or close to farms, and caecal material from chickens, were examined. Similarity between Campylobacter from poultry and environment was tested based on species identification and Multilocus Sequence Typing. Campylobacter prevalence in caecal samples was 97% at layer farms (n = ...

The use of various sources of potassium in growing broilers
Abstract: The studies show the comparative efficiency of the use of potassium chloride and potassium carbonate to improve the productivity of broilers cross "Smena 8". It was shown that both chloride and potassium carbonate can be inserted into compound feeds for broilers in order to increase productivity and improve feed conversion. The use of potassium chloride in a dose of 1.5 kg / t of feed ...

Nutrient dynamics from broiler litter applied to no-till cotton in an upland soil
Applying broiler litter to the soil surface of a no-till field of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) increases the potential loss of its nutrients via runoff and volatilization. An experiment was conducted over 3 yr on an upland Atwood silt loam soil (fine-silty, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Paleudalfs) near Pontotoc, MS, to determine the effect of broiler litter incorporation into the surface ...

Runoff water quality from broiler litter-amended tall fescue in response to natural precipitation in the ozark highlands
Received for publication March 21, 2008. The Arkansas poultry industry produced more than 1.2 billion broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) and generated approximately 1.3 million Mg of broiler litter in 2002. High transportation costs of relocating broiler litter have led to annual land applications near poultry houses, increasing concern for potential surface water contamination from ...

Efficacy and benefits of prevention of coccidiosis in broilers by vaccination in comparison to anticoccidial drug program
In poultry production control of coccidiosis still relies heavily on adding anticoccidial drugs to feed. In the present study the efficacy of coccidiosis prevention in broilers by vaccination in comparison to anticoccidial drug programs was evaluated. The efficacy of the live attenuated vaccine Livacox T administered to broiler chickens was investigated in a laboratory trial by assessing ...

Composting of washed Ulva reticulata seaweed: process parameter variations and compost quality
Co–composting process of unwashed (Run A) and washed (Run B) seaweed Ulva reticulata with bagasse and broiler litter was studied. Peak temperatures of 48.9°C and 55.2°C were recorded for Runs A and B, respectively. For Run A, the starting wet bulk density was 43.31 kgm–3 and increased by 5.2 times on day 23. Net biodegradable Volatile Solid (VS) reductions were 2.19 and 11.44% for Runs A and B, ...

The Best Formula For Making Broiler Chicken Feed
Broilers are the most common poultry raised by humans, the formula for making broiler feed chickens must contain high energy and protein, and add vitamins, minerals and trace elements in a moderate amount. Animal feed pellet machine can make high-quality pellets. It is better to use different complete formula feed at different growth stages of broiler chickens. The Best Formula For Making ...

Broiler litter fertilization and cropping system impacts on soil properties
Understanding the effects of management practices on soil properties is necessary because soil properties are directly related to the capacity of soil to function. Soil physical, chemical and biological properties were determined after 3 yr in three cropping sequences [continuous cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) (CCC), cotton-corn (Zea mays L.)-cotton (CMC), and corn-cotton-cotton (MCC) each at ...

No-till and conventional-till cotton response to broiler litter fertilization in an upland soil: lint yield
The effectiveness of poultry litter as cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fertilizer is not well documented for upland soils in the southern and southeastern United States. The objective of this research was to measure cotton yield response to broiler litter fertilization in contrast to inorganic N fertilization and to quantify yield reduction due to lack of incorporation under no-till and ...

Potassium chloride supplementation in broiler rearing
The influence of dietary feed-grade potassium chloride on the productive performance in broilers was studied. Supplementation of diets with 1500 and 3000 ppm of this mineral additive improved live bodyweight in broilers at 34 days of age by 3.52 and 1.33%, respectively, feed conversion ratio by 3.01 and 0.71%. Supplementation of drinking water (1.5 g per 1 L) improved these productivity ...

Equivalency of broiler litter to ammonium nitrate as a cotton fertilizer in an upland soil
Estimates of litter value based on crop yield equivalency to inorganic fertilization may reflect the actual value of litter more accurately than estimates based on its N, P, and K content. The primary objective of this research was to identify a rate of broiler litter that results in cotton lint yield equivalent to inorganic N fertilization and to estimate litter value based on this yield ...
