Wheat litter and feed with aluminosilicates for improved growth and meat quality in broiler chickens.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Natural minerals have many beneficial properties in poultry production, taking into account production as well as hygiene, health, safety, and quality of broiler meat. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of aluminosilicates in feed and litter on the growth performance and meat quality in chickens. Aluminosilicates, including halloysite and zeolite, could be a good alternative for synthetics, as a good solution for the environment in line with the current trends.

Methods

Five-hundred male Ross 308 chickens were managed in 5 groups (10 replicates/group): LITTER: 1, control; 2, 0.95 kg/m² of halloysite; 3, 0.475 kg/m² of halloysite and 0.475 zeolite; 4, 0.95 kg/m² of zeolite; 5, 0.25 kg/m²of halloysite and 0.7 k
