Combination Effects of Ascorbic Acid and Glucose in Drinking Water on the Broiler Performance under Acute Heat Stress
نویسنده
چکیده
High environmental temperatures have deleterious effects, reducing the feed intake, live weight gain and feed efficiency of poultry. A study utilizing Ross 308 was conducted to evaluate the effects of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) and glucose on broilers production reared under heat stress (32 ± 2 °C). One day-old, five hundred twenty five broilers were randomly assigned to 7 treatment groups with 3 replicates of 25 birds per each group. Broilers were exposed to temperature using electrical brooders for 4 hours a day from 36 to 49 days. The all combination of glucose with vitamin C in drinking water compared with control group resulted in higher body weight, feed efficiency and lower feed conversion ratio (P < 0.05) in both stages. This result suggests that combination of ascorbic acid with glucose in drinking water alleviates the influence of high ambient temperature on broiler in grower and finisher stage of growth.
