Effect of feeding different level of zinc on the growth performance of broilers
Original language description
The experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of feeding different level of zinc (Zn) on feed consumption, weight gain and slaughter weight of broilers. Total of 140 male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were divided into four groups and raised up to 35 days of age. During the trial, control group (control) of birds were given basal diet containing 28 mg.kg-1of total Zn without zinc supplement and other groups were given the diets modified by adding either 20 (Zn20), 40 (Zn40) or 120 (Zn120) mg.kg-1of Zn supplied as zinc oxide. The results show that maximum feed consumption, weight gain and slaughter weight of broilers occurred at a zinc supplement of 20 mg.kg-1(corresponding to about 49 mg total zinc) and this parameters decreased by adding 40and120 mg.kg-1of Zn to the basal diet. Differences between these groups were not significant (P>0.05). Chicks fed a non-supplemented basal diet (control) had lower weight gain and slaughter weight than other treatment groups.
