Abstract

The best electrolyte balance value (EB) for broilers performance from 1 to 7, 1 to 14, 1 to 21 and 1 to 42 days of age was evaluated. Eight hundred and sixty four male Ross chikens ageing one day old, were reared on floor covered with shaving woods and fed diets based in corn-soybean combined with -50; 0; 50; 100; 150 and 200 mEq/kg of EB. The experiment was analized as randomized block design with six replicates of 24 chicks each experimental unit. Weigh gain, feed intake, feed efficiency (FE) were evaluated at 7, 14, 21 and 42 days of age. The best values of EB estimated were 173, 192 and 200 mEq/kg, respetivly for 14, 21 and 42 days of age. It was also observed that high levels of chlorine magnify the humidity of the litter by means of the increasing of the excretion of water.The best electrolyte balance value (EB) for broilers performance from 1 to 7, 1 to 14, 1 to 21 and 1 to 42 days of age was evaluated.
