Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the effects of medium-chain fatty acids supplementation in the diet on broiler chickens' performance, meat quality, and cecal microorganisms. A total of 210 one-day-old male ROSS 308 broiler chicks were used. The study was divided into 3 experimental groups: the control group (Control), the medium-chain fatty acids supplementation group (MCFAs), and the short-chain fatty acid supplementation group (SCFA). The experiment was conducted for 36 days. The results showed that the MCFAs group had a better feed conversion ratio during 25-36 day old (P<0.05) and 1-36 day old (P<0.01) compared to the control and the SCFA group in broilers. The meat quality of MCFAs group showed better hardness, gumminess, and chewiness than the control group (P<0.01). It was also found that the meat redness value after 24 hours in the MCFAs group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). Microbial population in cecum revealed that MCFAs group had more Lactobacillus spp. than the SCFA group. However, total bacteria and Escherichia coli were not different from the control group. It can be concluded that dietary MCFAs had a positive effect on the feed conversion ratio, meat quality, and cecal microbial population of broiler chickens.
