Similarly, the effect of CT observed in the current study for Ca, Mg, Na, K, total protein, albumin, triglycerides, were similar to previous reported values (Ward and Peterson, 1973;Vo et al, 1978;McCormick and Garlich, 1982;Odom et al, 1986;Donkoh, 1989;Donoghue et al, 1990;Meluzzi et al, 1992).…”

One experiment utilizing Cobb x Cobb male broilers was conducted to evaluate virginiamycin (VM; 0, 15, 20 ppm) and diet caloric density (CD; 2,945, 3,200 AMEn/kg) effects on broiler live performance, blood serum metabolites, and carcass composition. The starter period exposed birds to recommended brooding conditions, whereas from 3 to 7 wk birds were exposed to thermoneutral (TN, 24 C) or cycling temperature (CT, 24 to 35 C) environments (E). During the 21-d starter period, VM levels and high CD increased (P < 0.05) BW gain (G) and gain:feed (G:F) improved (P < 0.05) with 20 ppm VM and high CD. During 3 to 7 wk, CT reduced (P < 0.05) most live performance and carcass variables as well as heat production (HP) and energetic efficiency whereas energy content per gram of tissue increased. The main effect of VM and CD on blood serum constituents was not significant; however, CT decreased (P < 0.05) serum Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, albumin, and total protein. Within CT, G increased (P < 0.05) with high CD and with the 15 ppm VM combination, whereas within TN, G was unaffected by CD, but increased (P < 0.05) with the 20 ppm VM and low CD combination compared with the control. High CD increased (P < 0.05) BW, G, carcass weight, dressing percentage, carcass percentage fat, carcass dry matter, carcass energy content per bird, HP, fat, and protein gain but reduced (P < 0.05) carcass percentage protein and energetic efficiency. Carcass weight, breast yield, fat, and protein gains as well as dry matter carcass energy content increased (P < 0.05) with VM compared with controls. The reduced (P < 0.05) calorie intake and HP with concomitant increase (P < 0.05) in calorie gain with 20 ppm VM increased (P < 0.05) caloric efficiency. In summary, the results suggest that VM improves bird performance by reducing HP and that reduced HP during high CT improves body temperature homeostasis.

“…[ 6 , 7 ] tested 3 levels of dNa and dCl adjusted with dK and reported that different ions acted differently to yield a similar DEB of 250 mEq/kg. The addition of various salts changes osmotic balance by contributing electrolytes [ 5 , 8 – 10 ]. Most researchers consider Na-bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) as the best supplemental salt for Na + and HCO 3 − [ 11 – 16 ].…”

“…A significant effect of temperature on abdominal fat was found for treatments (5% KCl or 5% NaHCO 3 in water) under normal but not under cyclic environmental conditions [ 18 ]. Sharma and Gangwar [ 8 ] reported a decrease in the concentration of Na + and K + in the breast and thigh muscles of broilers from 4 to 8 wks old under high temperature (32°C). The author, moreover, observed that breast muscles had significantly lower Na + and higher K + concentrations than thigh muscles.…”

The effect of sodium and sodium salts on carcass and body organ characteristics of broilers under a four phase feeding program were investigated. A basal diet (0.08% dNa with NaCl) was formulated and one of two sources of dNa (NaHCO3 and Na2SO4) were supplemented to obtain four different percentages of dNa (0.17, 0.26, 0.35, and 0.44%) for each treatment. There was a linear decrease in dressing percentage (DP) with source × level interaction (p ≤ 0.001), while there was a linear increase in breast yield and thigh yield with increasing dNa supplementation (p ≤ 0.001). Chicks fed 0.35% NaHCO3 and 0.44% dNa Na2SO4 supplemental salts had lower abdominal fat (p ≤ 0.04). Chicks that received increasing levels of dNa (from 0.17 to 0.44%) showed increasing gizzard weight (p ≤ 0.002) and decreasing spleen weight (p ≤ 0.02). When both salts were supplemented at 0.26% dNa, the chicks showed their lowest bursa weight (p ≤ 0.001). Consequently, chicks at higher dNa showed an increase in breast and thigh meat yield, and increasing capacity of their digestive organ. The higher levels of dNa should be tested with other cations and anions to fully understand acid base homoeostasis.

“…However, at 42 nd day thigh meat's K + contents increased than that of breast meat. Sharma and Gangwar (1987) reported that breast muscle had significantly lower Na + and higher K + concentrations than thigh muscle in 4-8 week broilers in heat stress conditions (32 ºC). However, this parameter requires further investigations.…”

The study was designed to investigate the effect of feeding different levels of dietary electrolyte by adding sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ) on the performance of broilers. Experiment was conducted in two phases. In first phase (0-4 weeks), six broiler starter rations were formulated; a ration without NaHCO 3 was served as control whereas other five rations had 0.15-0.73% NaHCO 3 in the rations. In this way six dietary treatments resulted in dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) and sodium levels of 245, 262, 279, 297, 314, 331 meq/kg and 0.166, 0.206, 0.246, 0.286, 0.326, 0.336%, respectively. Protein and energy values in all broiler starter rations were kept at 20% and 2800 kcal/kg, respectively. In second phase, six finisher rations (5-6 weeks) were formulated viz., control ration and five other rations having 0.10-0.74% levels of NaHCO 3 . The resulting dietary treatments were having DEB and sodium levels of 222, 240, 256, 273, 290, and 307 meq/kg and sodium levels of 0.203, 0.243, 0.283, 0.323 and 0.363%, respectively. The protein and energy level were 18% and 2800 kcal/kg, respectively. One eighty day-old broiler chicks were distributed in 18 units having 10 chicks each according to completely randomized design. Feed consumption, weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly (P<0.05) improved in broilers fed all the experimental diets as compared to control during starter and finisher phases. A quadratic response was also observed on the performance of broilers during starter phase. However, a linear effect was seen for feed consumption during finisher phase while quadratic effect was observed for weight gain and FCR in boilers fed different levels of DEB and sodium. At 28 day of age percent thigh meat yield, breast meat yield and abdominal fat yield were significantly better in broilers fed experimental rations as compared to those fed control ration however non-significant (P>0.05) differences were observed in dressing percentage. But at 42 day age dressing percentage, percent thigh meat yield, breast meat yield and abdominal fat yield did not show any treatment effect. The electrolyte contents (Na + , K + , and Cl -) of thigh and breast meat were also significantly higher in broilers fed experimental rations as compared to control. Similarly, significantly better Na + , K + , and Clcontents of thigh and breast meat were observed (P<0.05) among all the treatments. The results of present study depict that to support optimal performance of broilers, DEB levels between 250-300 and sodium levels of 0.28% is required.
