Effects of Lower Dietary Calcium and Phosphorus Than Recommended on Growth Performance and Bone Mineralization of Broilers
Abstract:This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of reduced dietary calcium (Ca) and non-phytatephosphorus (NPP) levels at 2:1 constant ratio on performance, carcase parameters and bone mineralization of Ross-308 broilers. A total of 11400 one-day-old chicks were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments with twelve replicates and were fed starter diets including either recommended (0.96 and 0.48 % Ca and NPP respectivelycontrol treatment, T1) or a 6.25% lower level of both Ca and NPP according t… Show more
