An experiment was conducted with day-old male Hubbard, broiler chicks, reared in electrically heated batteries, and raised in wire mesh floors and fed purified amino acid diets and water ad libitum for a 14 days period. The purified diets containing all essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals at adequate levels and was supplemented with 5, 10 and 15% of L-Glu and with 0, 5,000, 10,000 and 15,000 IU of vitamin D3. The experimental design was a factorial 3 x 4 […]

In order to study the effects of L- glutamic acid (L-Glu) levels on contents of collagenous (CP), non collagenous (NCP) total proteins (TP) and minerals in femur and tibia of male broiler chicks, one experiment was conducted with day-old broiler chicks, male Hubbard, reared in electrically heated batteries with raised wire mesh floors and fed purified amino acid diets and water ad libitum for a 14 days period. The basal diet contained all essential L-amino acids, minerals and vitamins at […]

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of three levels (5, 10 and 15%) of L-Glutamic Acid (L-Glu) and four levels (0, 5000, 10,000 and 15,000 IU/kg of diet) of vitamin D3 (VD) on bone parameters of 14 days male broilers, Hubbard. They were fed purified amino acid diets and reared in electrically heated batteries. The experimental design was a factorial 3 x 4 with four replicates with seven chicks each. The length of bones increased up to an […]
