The effects of dietary supplementation of
organic acids on growth performance of broiler
chickens were summarized in table 2. At the end of
feeding trial, the groups fed on (0.3% butyric acid,
0.3% fumeric acid and 0.3% lactic acid) showed
significant increase in live body weight gain by 9.4%,
12.5% and 9.9% (P≤0.05) respectively compared
with control group.
The feed consumption was found statistically
non-significant decrease among all the treatment
groups in comparing to control one (Table 2).
The carcass characteristics of broiler chicken
fed diets supplemented with the organic acids showed
no significant differences between various treatment
groups (Table 2).
