Abstract
Commercial broiler chicks, 350 day-olds, were randomly assigned to duplicate floor pens with 25 chicks each. They were fed a guineacorn-palm kernel-meal based diet supplemented with 0.0, 7.5, 15.0, 22.5, 30.0, 37.5 and 45.0 mg niacin/kg feed for 42 days. Significantly poorer live-weight gain, feed ·intake and apparent utilization of nitrogen metabolizable energy, calcium and phosphorus, and a higher incidence of dermatitis and leg bone deformities in broilers on niacin-unsupplemented diets showed a deficiency of niacin in the basal diet which were all reversed with addition 30.0 mg niacin/kg feed.
