<b>Effect of feeding Thymolina<sup>®</sup> powder on the carcass characteristics and morphology of small intestine in ross 308 broiler chickens
In the present experiment, 320 one day old Ross 308 broiler chickens were used completely randomized design with 4 treatments, 4 replicates, and each replicate contained 20 broiler chickens. Experimental treatments include control, 0.5, 1, and 2% of Thymolina powder in chickens’ diet. Thymolina® is...
