Abstract
The health of the body might impair broiler performance; thus, mineral supplementation is necessary to avoid diseases caused by dietary mineral deficiencies. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of both organic and inorganic zinc and compare them to the control group regarding their effect on the productive response of broiler chickens. The experiment lasted six weeks, from 26 /9/2022 to 7 /11/ 2022 and was conducted in a private farm in Hilla city. A total of 300 one-day-old (Ross308) fattening chicks were weighed upon arrival and randomly grouped into three equal groups, each one hundred chicks/group: the first group, the control (C), included birds fed the basic diet without any supplementation; the second group the first treatment (T1) included feeding birds on the basic diet with organic zinc compounds (zinc acetate) 250 mg/kg diet; and the third group the second treatment (T2) included feeding birds on the basic diet with inorganic zinc compounds (zinc oxide) 250 mg /kg diet. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum till the end of the study. The feeding period was divided into a starter and a finisher period. Compared to the control, the growth performance of broiler chickens fed organic zinc or inorganic zinc differed significantly (P≤0.05) in terms of feed intake, body weight, feed conversion ratio, and body weight gain. Adding organic and inorganic zinc to a broiler chicken's basic diet can improve broiler production performance.
