All fertile eggs were kept at incubation room temperature for 12 hours and then incubated in a forced draft incubator at 37.8°C with 55 - 60% relative humidity. Eggs were turned every two hours from the 2 nd to 18 th day of incubation. In the 1 st group, 40 eggs were not injected and considered as negative control, while in the 2 nd group, 40 eggs were injected with distilled water (positive control). In the 3 rd and 4 th groups, 160 and 180 eggs were injected with 50 and 100µL vitamin D 3 (VD 3 ), respectively. Eggs were injected on the 18 th day of incubation to deposit test material in the air sac through the wide end of the egg then the hole was closed by wax. During the last 3 days of incubation, all eggs were transferred to a separate hatcher at 36.5°C and 75 -80% relative humidity. At hatch, the chicks were wing-banded, weighed and kept in the brooding house. The results showed that the chicks produced from eggs injected with 100 µL VD 3 exhibited significantly greater live body weight and body weight gain compared to other groups at different ages. Moreover, the feed conversion ratio and embryonic mortality rate were significantly affected during experimental period. The embryonic mortality rate was significantly increased in all treated-groups compared to negative control group. Immune response at 7 days and 28 days for Norfa chicks injected with VD 3 significantly improved compared to control groups. The highest value for femur and sternum bone length was recorded in chicks injected with 100µL VD 3 , while tibia bone length was significantly decreased. Blood AST and ALT levels for chicks injected with 100µL VD 3 significantly increased compared to negative control group. In ovo injected VD 3 of 50 and 100 µL increased total serum calcium compared with the control groups. These results indicated that the in ovo injection of different levels of vitamin D 3 had a significant effect on white blood cells, lymph count, neutrophil, red blood cells and platelets. However, there was no significant effect of the in ovo injection on the levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit. In conclusion, early in ovo injection of different levels of vitamin D 3 might be considered a feasible technique for increasing Norfa chicks performance, hatchability, blood parameters, immunity and decreasing mortality.","PeriodicalId":355358,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Animal Poultry and Fish Production","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131310335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total of 210 day old broilrer chicks were divided into seven dietary treatment groups with three replicates each. Control group (T 1 ) was fed with basal diet contain the recommended level of selenium of Arbor-Acres broiler chicks cataloge, as a source of inorganic selenium. Experimental groups; T 2 , T 3 and T 4 were given basal diet free of selenium, but supplemented with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 g selenium yeast/ kg diet, T 5 , T 6 and T 7 were fed basal diet free of Se and supplemented with 0.01, 0.02 and 0.03 g nano-selenium/ kg diet, respectively. Results showed that chicks fed diet supplemented with 0.03g nano-selenium/ kg diet (T 7 ) had significantly (P ≤ 0.05) the highest values of daily weight and improved feed conversion ratio compared to the other treatments which also recorded the least feed intake. Se-yeast or nano-selenium showed higher some carcass traits, liver meat of breast and thigh Se contents and high density lipoprotein, while low density lipoprotein, concentrations were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased. Activity of glutathione peroxidase, in serum blood was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased by supplementation of 0.03 g nano-selenium/ kg diet compared to the control group and other treatments. Also, chicks fed diet supplemented with 0.03 g nano-selenium/ kg diet had the highest livability rate (98%) and the best European efficiency rate (443.5%) but it was less economically efficient and relatively economic efficiency may have been due to the high price of nano-selenium at the present time compared to organic selenium. So, the obtained results in the present study encouraging and indicated that 0.3 g selenium yeast/ kg diet (T 4 ) can be used in broiler chicken diets to get best economic efficiency and higher relative economic efficiency. It could be concluded that addition of organic and nano-selenium in broiler diets positively affects production performance and various parameters of broilers health .","PeriodicalId":355358,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Animal Poultry and Fish Production","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114364959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two hundred and forty, un-sexed one day old White Molar duck chicks were used and assigned to eight groups nearly similar in average body weight, (3 replicates of 10 birds each). Polyzyme was added at the levels (0, 1, 2 and 3g/ Kg diet) to the low crude protein content that was used as a negative control (18 and 16 % CP) and the diet with normal content of crude protein, which was used as the positive control (20 and 18% CP) treatment during the periods of starter (1-21 days) and finishing (2270 days), respectively. Results indicated that, ducks fed negative control + 3g Polyzyme/ Kg diet having the significantly higher body weight compared to the control groups. Birds fed the negative control diet with different levels of polyzyme had significantly (P ≤ 0.05) consumed more feed than the negative control diet without supplementation at 10 weeks of age. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) and performance index (PI) were improved in birds fed negative control diet with 3g Polyzyme/ Kg diet, (T4). Addition of graded levels of Polyzyme to Molar diets was significantly affecting some carcass traits and increased both serum glucose and AST activity, cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipids compared to the negative control group but significantly reduced serum createnine. Morphological sections of Molar small intestine revealed that villi height, width and villi height : villi width are significantly increased with the Polyzyme supplementation levels up to the level of 3 g/ kg diet and tend to decrease after that, but still better than the negative control group.

The aim of the present study was to apply the immunoglobulin G (IgG) as early genetic maker to improve some egg production traits in Norfa chickens. The IgG and Ab titers were determined in blood serum of each individual at 20 weeks of age. Pullets were divided into three groups, control, high and low groups, based on the IgG concentrations in blood serum. The results were discussed and summarized as follows: 1The average concentrations of both IgG and Ab titers in the blood serum of Norfa chickens were 10.424 and 13.871 (mg/ml), respectively. The IgG makes up 75.1% of the total Ab titer concentrations.
