The efficacy of organic acids in broiler

Intensive production of broilers has constant growth in recent years. Genetics, associated with nutrition, made it possible high production potential of broilers. In order to achieve high productivity results using the various additives to diets of broiler chickens. Since 2006 the EU banned the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in diets for feeding animals used for human consumption. One of the possible replacement of antibiotics are organic acids. Acid used as a supplement in feeding poultry. They have the role of optimizing the activity of enzymes digestion, relieving the metabolism and thus improve the health, utilization of protein and amino acids, and improved availability of minerals and. trace elements. The study was conducted on three groups of broiler Coob. The control group (C) was fed with feed mixtures without added organic acids. Experimental group G1 is given a combination of formic, propionic, lactic, citric and sorbic acids concentration of 0.4% in the feed mixture, while the experimental group G2 had the concentration 0.8 % of same combination of organic acids. Retrospectively, health, consumption, daily gain and feed consumption per kilogram of gain from the second week until the end of fattening. Statistically significant difference between groups was not observed.
