Effect of a Combination of Propionic-Acetic Acid on Body Weight, Relative Weight of Some Organs, Lactic Acid Bacteria and Intestinal pH of Neonatal Broilers

ABSTRACT This study was designed to determine the effect of a combination propionic-acetic acid on body weight, relative weight some organs, lactic bacteria, and intestinal pH neonatal broilers. A total 60 1-day-old Ross 308® broiler chickens were randomly placed in metabolic cages two treatments, three replicates, ten birds per replicates. The treatments consisted control diet (CD) CD + 0.03% propionic acetic drinking water at rate 4 ml/L water. organic acids depressed broilers (p 0.05) between treatments. combined use acids, respectively, reduced bodyweight (10 days) cecal pH, as well modified weights digestive organs growth morphological groups bacteria.
