Evaluation of AbsorbezzRTMP in broiler rations: Effects on performance, yield, and ammonia concentrations.

摘要

Effects of feeding different concentrations of AbsorbezzRTMP at different growth stages in production of commercial broiler chickens reared to 49 days was compared with the broiler industry's standard basal diet. The performance, relative and absolute organ weight, Nitrogen content of fecal matter, paw ulceration, fecal matter and carcass yield were evaluated based on different application rates of AbsorbezzRTMP. A total of 5,750 birds were placed within a 96, 5'X10' floor pens in a randomized block design (60 birds per pen) at SFASU Broiler Research Center. Dietary treatments consisted of treatment 1 which contained the industry standard basal feed ration, treatment 2- (AbsorbezzRTMP 80%) had 80% of the recommended dosage , 3- (AbsorbezzRTMP 100%) contained the recommended dose, and 4 -- (AbsorbezzRTMP 120%) contained 20% more of the recommended dose of AbsorbezzRTMP. At the completion of the study, 384 birds were euthanized for yield study. A sub sample of the 384 birds (24 total) were also used for organ weight measurement.;Results showed that AbsorbezzRTMP didn't have any adverse effect on any of the parameters measured. However it was concluded that AbsorbezzRTMP can be used as a feed supplements and can also be used in replacing currently used growth promoting supplements. AbsorbezzRTMP aided in adding weight to the broilers and increased carcass yield when compared with the broiler industry's complete basal diet.
