Abstract:The current study's aim was to assess how different zinc sources affected the broilers' growth performance, economic evaluation, and serum concentrations. One-day-old "Cobb" broiler chicks (n = 192) with an average initial body weight of 44.10 g and were randomly distributed into 6 groups. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd groups were supplied with inorganic zinc oxide, inorganic zinc sulphate monohydrate, and organic zinc methionine, respectively, at a level of 100 mg Zn/kg diet. While the 4th, 5th, and 6th groups were s… Show more
