Abstract | ||||
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of using nanoparticles (silver and graphene) supplementation at four different levels in broiler chicks fed corn-soy-based diets on carcass characteristics and some physical and chemical bone measurements. This study comprised three hundred and sixty unsexed one-day-old Indian river broiler chicks, which were divided randomly into (9) experimental treatments in 8 replicates with 5 chicks each. The tested nanoparticles (silver and graphene) were added on top to a basal diet (0.0 (basal diet), 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 ppm/kg), at the end of the experiment period (35 days of age (, the carcass and tibia bone characteristics of four chicks per treatments were determined. The results showed that: All carcass traits and cut percentages haven’t affected either type or levels of nanoparticles except liver%. All physical and chemical bone measurements weren’t affected significantly by different types or levels of nanoparticles except tibia width and ash% were affected significantly by different levels of nanoparticles. Conclusion: carcass characteristics and bone measurements haven’t been affected significantly by different types or levels of nanoparticles except for liver, tibia width, and ash%. | ||||
