Effects of increasing the levels of a commercial vitamin premix on zoo technical performances and certain blood biochemical values in broiler Chickens
Abstract
The present study aims to determine the influence of increasing vitamin premix levels on zoo technical and some biochemical parameters in broilers of ISA15strain. The tested vitamin premix is a commercial product administered in drinking water by many poultry farmers of Constantine region (East Algeria), as part of routine vitamin supplementation. A total of one hundred seventy chicks were randomly assigned to three experimental groups. Chicktonic® was administered as fellow: control group (CH), treated with chicktonic® with dosages and duration of treatment as applied by many farmers of the region; group (CH+41 ) treated with an increased dose of chicktonic® starting from day 41st; group (CH+13 ) treated with an increased dose of chicktonic® starting from day13th. In animals consuming increased dosages of chicktonic®, mortality rates were lower (0.1% and 0.14%) than the control group (0,33%). No significant differences were recorded between the three groups concerning: feed intake (FI); average daily weight gain (ADWG); performance index (PI); and carcass yield (CY). A significant decrease in body weight at slaughter (BWs) was recorded in birds consuming higher levels of vitamin premix before the grower period. While a significant increase in abdominal fat (AF) was recorded in animals consuming higher levels of vitamin premix during the finisher period. In both groups receiving a high dose of chicktonic®, cholesterol and triglyceride values were higher than in the control group.
