Authors
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff alcoholic extract against the negative effects of ascites syndrome on performance and carcass characteristics. This experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design on 120 broiler chickens in 4 treatments, 3 replicates with 10 chicks in each replicate. Treatments included: 1) basal diet in the standard temperature 2) basal diet + 0.1 % Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff alcoholic extract in the standard temperature 3) basal diet under cold stress 4) basal diet under 0.1 % Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff alcoholic extract under cold stress. Right ventricle/total ventricle index (RV/TV) and mortality rate (%) was significantly (P
