Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the chemical composition and energy values of dry brewery residue (DBR) in broiler diets, finding that higher inclusions of DBR positively influenced metabolizable energy values.
- A second experiment explored how varying the amount of DBR in broiler diets affected growth performance and health metrics, showing improved weight gain and feed intake without negatively affecting overall health indicators.
- The results concluded that including up to 100 g/kg of DBR in broiler diets enhances growth during the starter phase while maintaining healthy production parameters.
This study evaluated the level and length of time of vitamin A supplementation and its effects on carcass and cuts yield, meat quality, and myopathies in 42-day-old broilers. A total of 1,920 birds were divided into 6 groups, and each group received a different level of vitamin A: 0; 6,000; 16,000; 26,000; 36,000 and 46,000 IU/ kg. From d 1 to 21, the treatments were distributed among 16 replicates with 20 birds.
