Effect of Salinomycin on Broiler Performance
Husrev Demirulus, Serdar Eratak and Kazym Kara

Abstract: In this study, effects of salinomycin on broiler performance were evaluated. Six levels of salinomycin added to feed were tested (0, 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 ppm, respectively) for 49 days. Increasing the level resulted in a decrease in body weight, feed intake, weight gain and feed efficiency. The highest body and neck weight (1972.5 and 90.9 g) and the best feed efficiency (1.59) were obtained with 1 ppm salinomycin (p<0.05). The best viability rate (96%) was obtained with 3 ppm salinomycin (p<0.05). The highest plucked, carcass, tight, wing, breast and back weight of the group were 1629.1, 1316.9, 399.0, 150.0, 440.0 and 300.7 g, respectively. The highest abdominal fat weight (36.8 g) observed with 7 ppm salinomycin used group (p<0.05).
