The impact of Acidifier in the diet of broiler chickens grown in high stocking densities on growth performance, immune system and blood metabolites

Effect of GLOBACID® acidifier in different stocking densities on performance and blood metabolites was examined using 576 one-day broiler chickens Ross 308 in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and four replications for each treatment through a (3×2) factorial arrangement with three levels of stocking densities (14, 16 and 18 chicks per square meter) and two levels of GLOBACID® acidifier (zero and one kg per each ton of feed). The lowest feed intake was seen in 18 stoking density treatment which fed one kg of acidifier in the ration and this treatment was significantly different with other treatments (P
