• Poultry market rations and their fulfillment to nutritional standards

Research Abstract

Poultry rations for broilers were collected from eight Egyptian companies. All samples were physically inspected, chemically analyzed and broiler chicks were fed into groups on the eight rations (starter, grower and finisher) for biological testing. Most of the mixtures were satisfying the nutritional requirements of broiler chickens during growth period. Tow mixtures of companies in Beni-Suif governorate were low in Mn and caused slipped tendon disorder. Body performance parameters were estimated for all groups, the highest body weight, gain and feed efficiency were recorded by the Middle East Company.
