Effects of L-carnitine supplementation of diets differing in energy levels on performance, abdominal fat content, and yield and composition of edible meat of broilers

Abstract: Responses to supplemental dietary L-carnitine of broilers fed on diets with different levels of metabolizable energy (ME) were investigated using growth performance and some carcass measurements. Three isonitrogenous diets containing 13⋅5, 12⋅8 or 12⋅2 MJ ME/kg were formulated, with or without supplemental L-carnitine (50 mg/kg) and fed ad libitum from 18 to 53 d of age. Supplemental L-carnitine increased body-weight gain (BWG) and improved feed conversion (FC) during the first 2 weeks of study. FC was also im… Show more

“…Fat accumulation in carcasses of broilers, particularly in abdominal and visceral areas, represents a waste product to consumers from the nutritional and health points of view. Such obese broilers are unpleasant to the consumers, lead to decreased saleability and reduce the net returns of the producers (Rabie and Szilagyi, 1998).…”

“…Günlük erkek hindi palazları ile 21 günlük yapılan bir çalışmada (4) canlı ağırlığın rasyona 50 ve 100 mg/kg düzeylerinde L-karnitin ilavesi ile etkilenmediğini bildiren bulgularıyla da uyum içerisindedir. Buna karşılık bazı araştırıcılar da (13,24,25,27) broyler rasyonlarına L-karnitin ilavesinin canlı ağırlık artışını olumlu yönde etkilediğini kaydetmişlerdir.…”
