Extract

With increasing concerns about antibiotic resistance, there is a growing interest to find alternatives to antibiotics in poultry production. Diet formulation based on digestible amino acids is an attempt to reduce excreta nitrogen and cost of broiler production Fermacto ®, a microbial feed supplement derived from Aspergillus mycelium, is one of the several alternatives that could be used at 1-2 g/kg of diet to improve microbial balance of intestine and performance of young chicks.. Fermacto® supplementation is reported to increase uptake of nutrients in marginally deficient amino acids diet. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Aspergillus meal (AM) inclusion and digestible amino acid levels on performance, transit time of feed (TTF) and ileal lactobacillus population of broiler chicks.
