Effect of citric acid supplemented diets on aflatoxin degradation, growth performance and serum parameters in broiler chickens

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of citric acid (CA) on aflatoxin degradation, growth performance and some serum constituents in broilers. 300 one-day-old Ross broiler chickens were randomly divided into five treatment groups of three replicates, 20 chicks each. Four groups recei...

Four groups received the diet supplemented with CA (6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 g/kg), while the other served as a control.

In general, live body weight (LBW) was slightly higher in animals fed with the addition of CA; diet containing the highest concentration (50 g CA/kg) resulted in a significant increase in LBW and improvement of feed conversion ratio.
