Popis: | The present study investigated the effect of Azomite (AZO) on the growth performance, nutrient utilisation, and bone mineralisation of broilers fed low protein diet. A total number of 180 one-day-old male chicks were randomly distributed to three treatment groups having six replicates of 10 birds each. Experimental diets included; positive control (PC) with 21.5% CP (starter) and 19.0% CP (finisher), negative control (NC) with 2% lower CP than PC in each period and treatment group (AZO-0.25) in which NC was supplemented with 0.25% AZO. Azomite significantly (p .05) higher in NC. Azomite improved the digestibility of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), apparent metabolisable energy (AME), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) (p |
