Effect of replacement of inorganic minerals viz., zinc (Zn),
copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) with their corresponding organic minerals (methionine)
on growth, bioavailability and immunity was studied in grower birds (9th to
20th week). At 20th week, the body weight of grower birds were significantly
(p<0.05) higher in 100% organic Zn group, 100 and 50% organic Zn, Cu and
Mn supplemented groups. The cumulative feed consumption and FCR of all the treated
groups showed no significant (p>0.05) difference. The serum glucose, after
cholesterol SGOT, SGPT and ALP levels differ significantly (p<0.05) of all
the treated groups of differed significantly (p<0.05). The CBH response and
the antibody titers against SRBC were found to be significantly higher in 100%
organic Zn group and 100% Zn, Cu and Mn supplemented groups. Tibia bone weight
(g), tibia calcium (%) and tibia phosphorus (%) varied insignificantly (p>0.05).
But significant (p<0.05) difference was observed as regard to the tibia ash
content. Faecal excretions of Zn, Cu and Mn were significantly lower in organic
mineral fed groups. Replacement of inorganic Zn, Cu and Mn with their corresponding
organic minerals improved the body weight and immunity, with lower faecal excretion
of minerals in grower birds. |
