dc.description.abstract | A study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding citric acid and acetic acid on
live weight gain, feed consumption, FCR, meat yield traits of commercial broilers. A total
of 108 day old broiler chicks (Cobb 500) fed diets T0, T1, T2 and T3 having three
replications in each.T0 (Basal diet with no supplemental acid), T1 (Basal diet with 0.75%
citric acid), T2 (Basal diet with 0.75% acetic acid) and T3 (Basal diet with 0.75% citric
acid and 0.75% acetic acid).The birds were reared in cage management system. Body
weight gains, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality and meat yield traits were recorded.
The collected data were analyzed in CRD by using the SPSS software. Feed intake
(g/bird) was almost similar (P>0.05) among the dietary groups. Body weight gain (gm)
and FCR were significantly (P<0.05) different among the dietary groups. The highest
body weight gain (gm) was (P<0.05) in T1 (1512.37gm), followed by T3 (1496.30gm) and
T2 (1470.40gm) and T0 (1325.47gm) respectively. The lowest FCR was found in T1 (1.40)
and the highest FCR in T0 (1.52), the intermediate in T2 (1.43) and T3 (1.41) respectively.
It was found that there was significant (P<0.05) difference among the dietary groups in
case of carcass weight (gm).live weight (gm),thigh weight (gm), breast weight(gm) but
there was almost similar(P>0.05) among the dietary groups for heart weight (gm), spleen
weight(gm), gizzard weight(gm), head weight(gm) and intestine weight (gm). Carcass
weight in T1 (905gm) and live weight T1 (1496.67gm) were significantly (P<0.05)
different compared to control T0 (668gm) and T0 (1160.67gm) respectively. No mortality
was found among the dietary groups during experimental period. | en_US |
