Effects of Organic Mineral (MIN CHELATE®) Supplementation in Diets on Productive Performance of Broilers
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of organic mineral (MIN CHELATE®) in diets on growth performance of broilers. A total of 180 one-day old male broiler chicks (Cobb500) were divided into 2 groups with 6 replicates each with 15 chicks. The broilers were fed with 2 experimental diets: Control group and control + Organic Mineral (MIN CHELATE®) (Treatment). The results showed that body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and average daily gain of broilers aged 6 weeks fed organic mineral (MIN CHELATE®) diets were higher than the control group (P<0.05). The score of foot pad dermatitis and hock burn of broilers fed organic mineral (MIN CHELATE®) diet was lower than control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, organic mineral (MIN CHELATE®) can be used as feed additive to improve the growth performance, foot pad dermatitis and hock burn of broilers.
