Addition of Different Levels of Humic Substances Extracted from Worm Compost in Broiler Feeds

Different sources and inclusion levels of humic substances (HS) have been tested in broiler rations as an alternative to the addition of growth promoter antibiotics (GPA) with promising results. The current study was carried out to assess the influence of HS extracted from worm compost on broiler pr...
