The optimum levels of dietary nucleotide for broiler chicken

This research aimed to determine the best and safe level of a nucleotide supplement on broiler chicken based on uric acid concentration and to determine if the nucleotide has positive benefits in total protein and hemoglobin.

Description
Summary:This research aimed to determine the best and safe level of a nucleotide supplement on broiler chicken based on uric acid concentration and to determine if the nucleotide has positive benefits in total protein and hemoglobin. Seventy-five 15-d-old chicks were randomly assigned to three treatment groups consisting of five replicates of five birds each. The treatment groups were as follows; basal diet supplemented with 0, 0.5, and 1 g/kg nucleotide from 15 to 35 d of age. On d 35, blood samples were collected from five chicks per treatment to determine uric acid, total serum protein, and hemoglobin concentration. The results demonstrated that the dietary nucleotide supplementation at the levels of 0.5 and 1 g/kg feed of broiler diet is significantly increased total protein and hemoglobin concentration in chicken blood; however, uric acid concentration was in safe limit and did not significantly affect by nucleotide supplement. In conclusion, based on the results of this study, there are no limitations on the use of nucleotide supplementation on levels of 0.5 and 1 g/kg feed.
