Abstract Purpose During the apple processing procedures, a large amount of apple pomace is generated which is contains peel, core, seed, calyx, stem, and soft issue. The polyphenolic compounds in apple pomace are strong antioxidants that are able to counterbalance the free radicals; also, it is a rich source of many nutrients such as carbohydrates, minerals, fiber except protein. The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of dried apple pomace in broilers diet. Methods The incremental levels of dried apple pomace (4, 8, 12, 16 and 20%) with and without enzyme were used in broilers diet (8 dietary treatments). The growth performance, immune response, gut development, antioxidant capacity (TAC) and blood biochemical parameters were evaluated. Results The lowest daily weight gain, body weight and poorest feed conversion ratio was obtained by F treatment (P < 0.05), enzyme inclusion along with dried apple pomace had positive effect on growth performance. The antibody titter against Newcastle, Influenza and SRBC was increased by C, H, G and H treatments, respectively (P < 0.05). Antibody titer against NDV, IDV, and SRBC by 4, 8, 12 and TAC by 12, 16 and 20% of dried apple pomace significantly increased. The villous height by 4, 8, 12 and crypt depth by 12, 16 and 20% dried apple pomace significantly and insignificantly decreased, respectively. Conclusion The results suggested that the incremental levels of dried apple pomace deteriorate growth performance, modified antibody titer production, total antioxidant capacity and blood parameters of broilers.

Background: Feed quality in terms of nutritional content is plays pivotal role in achieving desired production. Amongst the several factors which alter the quality of feed, inevitable fungal toxins that compromise the nutritive content quite often had taken attention posing serious health hazards on birds and humans as well. Moulds / Fungi are accomplished of reducing the nutritional value of feedstuffs as well as expanding some mycotoxins. Mycotoxin adulterated feed has adverse effects on poultry health and productivity. The present study aimed to study the effect of dietary supplementation of graded levels of dietary aflatoxin and ochratoxin combination on performance, immune response and blood biochemical traits of broiler chickens. Methods: A 42 days biological trial was conducted to study the effect of graded levels of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin (OTA) combination in the diet for production, immune response and blood biochemical parameters of broiler chickens. Day-old broiler chicks (n=240) were divided into five (5) treatment groups (T1: control; T2: T1 + 100 ppb AFB1+ 100 ppb OTA; T3: T1 + 100 ppb AFB1+ 200 ppb OTA; T4:T1 + 250 ppb AFB1+ 100 ppb OTA; and T5: T1 + 250 ppb AFB1+ 200 ppb OTA) and each treatment was fed to 6 replicated groups of 8 birds each. Result: Body weight gain (BWG) was significantly lower in T3, T4 and T5 group and feed intake (FI) in all the toxin supplemented groups was statistically similar but numerically higher compared to control group. Significantly lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) was recorded in 0-42 d at T1 and T2 group. The cell mediated immunity (CMI) and humoral immunity (haem-agglutination- HA titre) in higher doses of aflatoxin and ochratoxin combined fed group (T5) was lower (P less than 0.05). The liver damage enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were increased (P less than 0.05) in broilers fed on diet containing aflatoxin and ochratoxin combinations. Significant (P less than 0.05) reduction in serum uric acid and cholesterol level at T3, T4 and T5 dietary treated groups. No significant (P greater than 0.05) changes observed in total protein and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentration. Thus, it may be concluded that combination of Aflatoxin B1 (100 ppb) and ochratoxin A (100 ppb) in basal diet had no adverse effect on growth performance, immune response and blood biochemical parameters in broiler chicken.

Background: Seaweeds are rich in complex carbohydrates, proteins and low molecular weight nitrogenous compounds, lipids, organic minerals, vitamins and pigments. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of supplementation of seaweed formulations on haematological, blood biochemical parameters and immune response of crossbred calves. Methods: A total of 18 male crossbred calves (130±7.56 kg live weight) were divided into 3 groups of 6 each based on complete randomized design. Calves in control (T0) was fed on standard diet, while treatment groups: T1 and T2 were supplemented with AF-KWP or AFRD-5 at the rate of 4% of concentrate mixture with 1% calcium carbonate and 1% dicalcium phosphate replacing mineral mixture and common salt offered in T0. The experiment was conducted for a period of 240 days. Blood was collected from each calf on 0, 100 and 200 days of experimental periods. Result: Concentration of Hb, PCV and RBC count was significantly higher in T1 and T2. Supplementation of seaweed increased significantly (P less than 0.001) the lymphocytes to neutrophil ratio. Serum total protein, albumin (A), globulin (G) and A:G ratio were comparable. Humoral immune response was significantly higher (P less than 0.001) in T1 and T2. Study concluded that supplementation of seaweed formulations of T1 and T2 improved erythropoiesis, alleviate stress and increased humoral immune responses in crossbred calves and recommend as replacement to mineral mixture and common salt.
