Sažetak
The aim of this research was to establish the influence of different quantities of rapeseed meal (RM) and calcium in feed mix on production results of 360 chicks during the 42-day experiment. It was found that chicks in group C (0 % of RM) and E3-8 (10 and 20 % of RM) achieved significantly (P<0.05) higher gains than those in groups E9-11 (30 % of RM) at the end of the experiment. In the same time average body weight of groups EC, 3, 6, 9 (0.8 % of calcium) were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those in groups E1, 4, 7, 10 (1.0 % of calcium) and groups E2, 5, 8, 11 (1.2 % of calcium). Based on these results, we can conclude that 10% and 20% of RM in chick’ s diet didn’ t have a negative effect on the production results. More than 0.8 % of Ca in the chick’ s diet caused lower live weight gain and poor feed conversion.
