CARCASS CHARACTERISTICS AND ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES OF BROILERS FED FIVE DIFFERENT VITAMIN AND MINERAL PREMIX
View through CrossRef
The inclusion of a balanced vitamins and mineral premix in broiler chickens’ diets is essential for optimal growth, health, and performance. An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the chemical and organoleptic properties of broilers fed five different vitamin-mineral premixes at 0.30% inclusion level. One-Hundred and eighty (180) 1-day old Arbor Acre strain of broiler chickens were used for the study. The birds were randomly divided into six (6) treatments of three replicates each. There were 10 birds per replicate to make a total of 36 birds per treatment. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum and data were collected on carcass characteristics and organoleptic parameters.The result showed that the values for flavour, colour, juiciness and texture were statistically similar. Carcass yield as well as organ weights were significantly affected (p<0.05).The dressing percentage was higher for the birds on VMP2. It was concluded that birds fed VMP2 performs better than the control for some carcass characteristics which is better for broilers production, as good carcass weight is an advantage for the farmers.
