Abstract Background This investigation assessed the effects of high dietary inclusion Spirulina ( Arthrospira platensis ) on broiler chicken growth performance, meat quality and nutritional attributes. For this, 120 male chicks were housed in 40 battery brooders (three birds per brooder). Initially, for 14 days, a standard corn soybean meal diet was administered. Subsequently, from days to 35, assigned one four treatments n = 10 treatment): (1) control (CTR); (2) with 15% (SP); (3) extruded...
The impact of 15% dietary inclusion Spirulina ( Arthrospira platensis ) in broiler chickens was explored, focusing on blood cellular components, systemic metabolites and hepatic lipid mineral composition. From days 14 to 35 age, 120 were divided allocated into four treatments: a standard corn soybean meal-based diet (control), diet, extruded super-dosed with an enzyme blend (0.20% porcine pancreatin plus 0.01% lysozyme). haematological analysis revealed no significant deviations p >...
This study evaluates the effect of prolonged feeding with a high inclusion level Spirulina, combined peptidases, on broiler chicken’s growth performance, digesta viscosity, carcass attributes and meat quality. The experiment involved 120 male broilers divided into 40 battery brooders, each housing 3 birds. Post 7-day acclimatisation corn soybean-based diet, birds were provided one four diets: soybean meal-based diet (CON), mix incorporating 15% Spirulina (SP), Spirulina-rich supplemented...
