Effect of dietary organic acids on nutrient digestibility, faecal moisture, digesta pH and viscosity of broiler chickens

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of feeds acidified with different organic acids on apparent nutrient digestibility, faecal moisture, digesta pH and digesta viscosity of broilers. The organic acids were acetic, butyric, citric and formic acids. One hundred and fifty (150) day old Arbor-acre chicks were used. There were five treatments (T).
