Abstract
One hundred and ninety “six Ross chicks with an initial body weight of 40.300.22g were used to study the effects of different crude protein levels supplemented with dietary organic and inorganic acids on growth performance and nutrient digestibility. The chicks were caged in pens of seven animals each and had ad libitum access to feed and water. The chicks were divides into 4 groups: Control -22 crude protein basal diet; T1: 22 crude protein basal dietOrgacids „; T3: 18 crude protein basal diet Orgacids „. The apparent digestibility of crude protein calcium and phosphorus was calculated using TiO‚‚. The birds fed with Control T1 and T2 had better growth performance and feed conversion ratio than the T3. The diets added with acidifiers had better digestibility of crude protein phosphorus and calcium. In conclusion the chickens fed with Control T1 and T2 had better weight gain than 18 CP with acid blends. However similar growth performance was found between Control T1 and T2. T1 and T2 had lower FCR than Control and T3. Better growth performance in Control T1 and T2 is mainly attributed to the better digestibility of nutrients such as crude protein phosphorus and calcium. There was a reduction of 17 SBM used in the diet when Control diet was compared with T2 diet.
