Response evaluation of broiler chickens to different dietary calcium-tophosphorus ratios: Effect on growth performance, nutrients retention and intestinal morphology
Abstract:Importance of the work: Calcium (Ca) and available phosphorus (AvP) are necessary minerals that have important roles in the animals; however, increasing dietary calcium causes several health problems. Objectives: To evaluate the effect in broiler chickens of Ca:AvP ratios on the productive performance and the retention of nutrients. Materials & Methods: In total, 360 Ross 308 broilers aged 11d (mean initial body weight ± SD = 249.80 ± 10.45 g) were randomly allocated to six dietary treatments with six replicat… Show more
