Effect of dietary supplementation with L-Carnitine and fenofibrate on broiler chickens

A factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of L-Carnitine and fenofibrate on broilers. There were four replicates treatments, with each replicate including ten male Ross 308 broiler chickens. The over a 42-day period. treatments consisted two levels (200 400 mg/kg) (50 100 as supplements basal diet. Growth, carcass characteristics, serum constituents, immune system responsiveness, cecal microflora, sensory attributes fatty acid profiles breast meat, small intestine histology characterized. During finishing period, chickens fed diet containing mg/kg 50 or had lower feed intake andfeed conversion ratio (FCR) higher weight than other treatments. Application in combination reduced ventricular fat (P <0.05), cholesterol <0.01), triglycerides very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) <0.05). These increased antibody titers against Newcastle disease (ND)and avian influenza virus (AIV). Among properties experimental significant effect only its aroma In general, supplementing broilers is recommended.
