The broiler meat sector is one of the most valuable contributors to food security in most
developed and developing countries, thus, ensuring its viability is crucial. Feed energy (ME) …

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein [CP; normal
and low (90% of the normal CP level)] and guanidinoacetic acid (GAA; 0, 0.6, and 1.2 g/kg of …

Arginine (Arg) is one of the metabolically versatile essential amino acids. Dietary
supplementation with Arg has been shown to stimulate the secretion of insulin-like growth …

This study evaluated the effects of varying levels of L-arginine (Arg) on performance and
intestinal health of broilers challenged with Eimeria. Cobb 500 male chicks (n= 720) were …

The occurrence of wooden breast (WB) and white striping (WS) of broiler breast myopathies
may be associated with least-cost feed formulations and the inclusion of greater amounts of …

Background Prenatal nutrition is crucial for embryonic development and neonatal growth,
and has the potential to be a main determinant of life-long health. In the present study, we …

This study aimed to investigate the effect of eggshell temperature (ET) manipulations during
incubation, in ovo feeding (IOF) of arginine, and post-hatch dietary supplementation with …

The experiment was conducted to study whether insulin receptor substance 1 (IRS1)/Protein
kinase B (Akt)/target of the rapamycin (TOR) signalling pathway activation stimulates crop …
