“…Zeolites may cause changes in element absorption, such as Ca and P, as well as electrolyte balance [65]. According to Azar, Adl [66], zeolite levels and physical sizes had no effect on serum Ca, P, Na, and Cl levels. Thus, these results are consistent with Nazifi and Dadras [67] who showed that supplementing broiler diets with natural zeolites (1.2%) had no effect on serum Mg, K, Na, Cl, and levels, but precise changes.…”

Background: Using natural zeolites as a food additive in poultry diets offers an intriguing perspective. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of zeolite addition and particle size on broiler performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, moisture of excreta and litter, and intestinal measurements during 35 days. Methods: A total of 560 1-day-old female Ross-308 broilers were divided into five treatment levels (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 g zeolite/kg diet) (n = 16 replicates/treatment, n = 8 replicates /particle size of each treatment). Performance was calculated weekly. Carcass characteristics, meat quality, small intestine (SI) measurements, litter pH, and moisture content were determined on day 35. Results: Litter pH, breast redness, cooking loss, chewiness, total weight, and SI length were all affected by zeolite treatments (p < 0.05). Particle size had an impact on the gastric pH and texture analysis. Their interaction had an effect on color redness, litter pH, and cooking loss. Performance was unaffected by either the main or interaction effects. Conclusion: Zeolite as a feed additive may be useful in broiler diets, particularly large particles. The performance and production efficiency factor improved numerically (p > 0.05) with increasing zeolite doses up to 10 g zeolite/kg diet.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of H 3 PO 4 concentrations and particle size of eggshell used in the feed of laying hens on bone and blood profiles. Ninety-six laying hens (Isa Brown strain) age 25 weeks were reared in individual battery cage and divided into 8 groups randomly. Group 1 was fed using eggshell without H 3 PO 4 and particle size of <1 mm (feed 1 ), group 2 was fed using eggshell that has been soaked in H 3 PO 4 3% and particle size of <1 mm (feed 2), group 3 were fed using eggshell that has been soaked in H 3 PO 4 4% and particle size of <1 mm (feed 3), group 4 was fed using eggshell that has been soaked in H 3 PO 4 5% and particle size of <1 mm (feed 4), group 5 was fed using eggshell that without H 3 PO 4 and particle size of <3 mm (feed 5 ), group of 6 was fed using eggshell that has been soaked in H 3 PO 4 3% and particle size of <3 mm (feed 6), group 7 was fed using eggshell that has been soaked in H 3 PO 4 4 % and particle size of <3 mm (feed 7) and a group of 8 was fed using eggshell that has been soaked in H 3 PO 4 5% and particle size of <3 mm (feed 8). A Completely Randomized Design patterns factorial 4 x 2 x 3 was used in this research. Result of this research showed that had no interaction effect (P>0.05) between the H 3 PO 4 concentration and particle size of eggshell on weight, volume, diameter of tibia bone and calcium and phosphorus content of the blood. The concentration of H 3 PO 4 or particles size also had no effect (P>0.05) on all variables.
