Apparent and true digestibility of palm oil (Elaeis guineensis), chicken oil, and Sacha inchi oil (Plukenetia volubilis) with three inclusion levels in diets for broiler chickens
Abstract:With the intention of evaluating the fecal and ileal digestibility of crude palm oil (Elaeis guineensis), chicken oil, and Sacha inchi oil (Plukenetia volubilis) at inclusion levels of 3%, 6%, and 9%, a total of 480 female Ross 308 broiler chickens were used. Digestibility was assessed at 21 days of age for both the diets and the fat sources. Total collection or the indicator method with chromium oxide was used for fecal digestibility, while the indicator method was used for ileal digestibility. The inclusion … Show more
