Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of a zinc-amino acid complex on production efficiency and meat quality. A total of 525 male ROSS 308 broilers were used in a completely randomized design and divided into five groups: T1- 80 mg/kg of inorganic zinc, T2- 105 mg/kg of organic zinc (Zn-AA), T3- 75 mg/kg of organic zinc (Zn-AA), T4- a combination of 40 mg/kg of organic and 40 mg/kg of inorganic zinc (Zn-AA + ZnO), and T5- a combination of 40 mg/kg of organic and 40 mg/kg of inorganic zinc (Zn-Gly + ZnO). Between days 11-24, significant differences were observed in body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and European production efficiency factor (EPEF) (p<0.05). The Zn-AA supplemented groups (T2, T3, T4) exhibited the highest BW, BWG, and ADG values (p<0.05), while T2 and T3 had the lowest FCR (p<0.05). Over the 36-day study period, BW, BWG, ADG, and FCR varied among groups, with T2 demonstrating the most optimal performance (p<0.05). The T3 group showed the lowest incidence of pododermatitis, with statistical significance (p<0.001). Significant differences were also observed in net profit return (p<0.05), with the T2 group (105 mg/kg Zn-AA supplementation) achieving the highest value.
