Two experiments were carried out to determine the sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl–) requirements for broilers in the pre-initial phase (1 to 7 days of age) and the best electrolyte balance of the diet. In each experiment 1500 broilers from Cobb strain were allotted to a completely randonmized design with six treatments, five replicates and 50 birds per experimental unit. The treatments used in the two experiments consisted of diets with levels on 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35% […]
