This experiment was conducted to evaluate the oxidative stability of coconut meal treated with or without butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at different storage times and the effect of diets containing this ingredient on laying hens’ performance and egg quality. A 200-kg batch of freshly produced coconut meal was divided into five equal portions. One portion was stored without BHT and the others were treated with BHT at zero, 7, 14 and 21 days. The oxidative stability of coconut meal was measured […]

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the oxidative stability of cashew nut meal (CNM) treated or not with butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at different storage times and the effect of diets containing this ingredient on the performance and carcass characteristics of broilers. A batch of 400 kg of freshly produced CNM was divided into five equal portions. One portion was stored with no antioxidant and the others were treated with 500 ppm of BHT at days zero, 7, 14 and 21.
