use of corn steep liquor in wet-feeding of broiler chickens

the effects of wet feeding of five levels of corn steep liquor (csl) on broilers performance and relative internal organ weights were examined. three hundreds 1 d old broilers (ross 308) were randomly allocated to one of the six dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with 5 replications of 10 chicks per pen. the dietary treatments were: 1. dry fed control no add water nor csl in feed 2. wet fed control add water in feed 3. wet fed 10% csl in feed 4. wet fed 20% csl in feed 5. wet fed 30% csl in feed and 6. wet fed 40% csl in feed. the body weight gain feed intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly affected by dietary levels of csl inclusion in 1 42 d growing period (p< 0.05). the response to increasing dietary levels of csl was in linear and quadratic manners (p< 0.05). using of csl levels higher than 10 % declined the growth performance. increase in dietary csl levels beyond 10 % caused a significant decrease in relative weights of liver bursa fabricius and gizzard (p
