Evaluation of lauric acid and L-glutamate individually and in combination as pro-nutrient growth promoters in broiler chickens

This experimental study aimed to elucidate the effect of dietary supplementation lauric acid and L-glutamic on production performance carcass characteristics broilers. Day-old broiler chicks (160) were randomly divided into four groups. The fed with diets, such as control diet without antibiotics (T1), + 0.1% (T2), 0.5% glutamate (T3), (T4). experiment was performed for five weeks using standard management practices. determined. body weight, feed intake, conversion efficiency showed significant improvement in treatment group glutamate. attributes, pre-slaughter de-bleeding eviscerated giblet abdominal fat weight comparable among treatments. No difference groups serum biochemical parameters observed. Further, intestinal length significantly higher T3 group. It concluded that a pronutrient improved increased affecting other characters chicken.
