Effect of manganese and thiamine supplementation on yeast activity in berley malt-maize grit worts.pdf Download (3MB) |
Abstract
Commercial chicks (320) were used in a 2x2x2 factorial treatment experiment conducted to study the effect of dietary levels of thiamine (2.5 mg and 3.0 mg/kg), niacin (35 and 40 mg/kg) and palm oil (2 and4'r:,) on the performance of broilers from day-old to 56 days of age. The level of supplemental palm oil in the diet affccted performance and vitamins requirements for optimum feed utilization and production of desirable broiler carcass quality. Supplementation of the diet with 4% palm oil significantly reduced weight gain and feed intake, and depressed the accumulation of lipid in liver, kidneys and abdominal region, but did not affect the carcass characteristics of broilers. A combination of 3.0 Ing thiamine and 35 mg niacin/kg of diet was required in2% palm oil supplementation compared with a combination of 2.S mg thiamine and 40 mg niacin required/kg of diet supplemented with 4% palm oil.
