Nutritional balance and nutrients excretion for broilers fed diets containing phytase from 14th to 24th days of age

Abstract

Theobjective of thisstudywas to evaluatethe effect ofreducedcalcium, phosphorus, energy andamino aciddietsupplemented withphytase forbroilersin the growth phase(14 to28 days)on the ofnitrogen, calciumand phosphorus balance. We distributed392male broilersofCobb, in a completely randomizedin a factorial3 x2 + 1Reduced levelofCaandP; Reduced levels ofamino acidsand energylevelsreducedCa, P, andamino acids x with and withoutenzyme+positive control), seven treatmentswitheight replicatesof sevenchicks each. In the diets with phytasewas used 500 FTU of phytase/ kg diet.Data weresubmitted to varianceanalysisandaverages werecomparedby theF test fororthogonal contrasts. Through the results can be seen that the enzyme phytase used thus of 21,34% reduction in calcium excretion end apparent retention ratio of calcium to 20,16%. Similarly, reductions of nitrogen excretion by 7,56% and phosphorus excretion by 21,34%, the environmental impact reducing caused by the excretion of these nutrientes of these nutrientes and increasing the apparent retention ratio of 9,41 and 33,94% in average, respectively.
