The Effect of Dietary Zinc and Calcium Content on the Femur Bone Strength of Broilers
Original language description
In this experiment, two organic zinc (Zn) sources, zinc chelate of proteinate (Zn-proteinate) and zinc chelate of glycine (Zn-glycin) and three calcium (Ca) levels (4 or 9 or 14 g/kg) were evaluated for their effects on the strength of broiler femur bone. Total of 48 male broiler chicks Ross 308 were divided into six groups according to 2x3 factorial arrangement (2 zinc sources and 3 supplemented calcium levels). The basal diet contained 33 mg/kg Zn and 3.2 g/kg Ca and experimental premix was modified by adding 100 mg/kg Zn either as Zn-proteinate or Zn-glycin and by calcium levels to achieve total calcium content 4 or 9 or 14 g/kg in the diet. Calcium was supplied as CaCO3. The feed mixture and water were offered ad libitum. The experiment started at 11 days of broiler age and chicks were fattened up to 35 days of age. At the end of the trial, birds were slaughtered and femur bone from right leg was dissected. The bone breaking strength as force in the moment of bone breaking was measured. The calcium level had significant effect (P<0.05) on the strength of broiler femur bone between group with Zn-glycin + 4 g/kg Ca and group Zn-glycin + 9 g/kg Ca, however zinc source had no significant effect.
