“…On the other hand, zeolite is expected to increase the production of epithelial cells in broilers [17] and cause intestinal villus hypertrophy and epithelial cell activity in ducks [6] which could enhance nutritional absorption and digestion. This study agreed with [18][19][20]6,21], but disagreed with some studies finding [22,23,5].…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of zeolite supplementation on performance in broilers. A total of 216 old broilers were used in a fully randomized study for three treatments (three replicates each, n=24 each). The basic diet was provided with T1 control, T2 and T3 control diets with 0.5 and 1% zeolite, respectively. The results showed that birds supplemented with 1.0% zeolite were effective in increasing body weight and weight gain compared to T2 and control treatments. It was found that adding zeolite to the birds’ feed significantly increased feed intake compared to T2 and control treatments. In addition, there was a significant difference between treatments in feed conversion efficiency. In summary, this experiment showed that the use of zeolite as a feed additive for broilers increased body weight, weight gain and feed intake of the broiler, thereby improving the feed.

“…(2016) , who noted that no significant differences on broiler performance were observed among the dietary 0.5% to 1.0% silicon groups. Similarly, Bintas et al. (2014) also reported that a dietary 0.8% silicon-based supplement did not significantly affect the overall body weight gain, feed intake, or feed conversion ratio of broiler chickens.…”

Bone problems have been a key issue that perilously affects broilers' health and welfare, resulting in severe economic loss. The present study was aimed at investigating the influence of dietary rice hull silicon (RHS) on the performance, meat quality, and bone-breaking strength of broilers. One hundred 10-day-old Arbor Acres chicks were used in the study. The birds were divided into 5 groups: one group was kept as the control, and other groups were provided with 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 mg/kg dietary RHS along with their basal diets. Results showed that diets containing various levels of dietary RHS did not adversely affect ( P > 0.05) the body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. Drip loss of thigh meat showed a reduced value in the group supplemented with 7.5 mg/kg dietary RHS compared with other groups ( P < 0.05), and the lowest thawing loss was observed in the same group; however, it showed no significant difference among other groups. Similarly, thawing loss of breast meat tended to decrease in the dietary RHS groups and significantly decreased ( P < 0.05) in the 7.5 mg/kg RHS group. The shear force of breast meat was higher in all RHS groups, and the highest was in the 7.5 mg/kg RHS group ( P < 0.05). Although tibia breaking strength increased significantly ( P < 0.05) in the 7.5 mg/kg RHS group ( P < 0.05), but a significant difference in femur breaking strength was not found among groups. In conclusion, dietary RHS can be used as a natural mineral supplement for improving bone-breaking strength and reducing drip and thawing loss of breast and thigh muscles, particularly RHS at a level of 7.5 mg/kg in broiler diets.

“…Only during the feeding of grower 1 and 2 were differences in feed consumption observed; however, this did not affect the feed conversion ratio. In the studies of Bintas et al [ 33 ], natural zeolite levels up to 0.8% were tested. These authors also showed no statistically significant differences in the production characteristics of chickens.…”

The aim of the study was to compare the production, muscle traits and gene expression in the intestinal mucosa of chickens supplemented with aluminosilicates in feed and litter simultaneously. A total of 300 Ross 308 were maintained for 42 days. Group 1 was the control group. In group 2, 0.650 kg/m2 of halloysite was added to the litter and 0.5–2% to the feed (halloysite and zeolite in a 1:1 ratio); in group 3, we added zeolite (0.650 kg/m2) to the litter and 0.5–2% to the feed. The production parameters, the slaughter yield and analyses of muscle quality were analyzed. There was a higher body weight, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio on day 18 and 33 in group 3, and a higher feed intake on day 19–33 in groups 2 and 3 than in 1. A lower water-holding capacity was found in the breasts of group 2 and in the legs of group 3 compared to group 1. The expression of genes related to the immune response, host defense and intestinal barrier and nutrient sensing in the intestinal tissue was analyzed. The results show a beneficial effect on the immune status of the host without an adverse effect on the expression of genes related to intestinal tightness or nutritional processes. Due to the growth, meat characteristics and the positive impact of immunostimulant and regulating properties, aluminosilicates can be suggested as a litter and feed additive in the rearing of chickens.
