THE EFFECT OF CELLULOSIC CATEGORIES FROM COMBINED FORAGES WITH BARLEY ON BROILER CHICKENS

Abstract

In this experiment we have studied the effect of cellulosic categories (NDF, ADF and ADL) from combined forages with barley on nutritive and bioproductive indices at broiler chickens. The experiment was carried out on six weeks on 90 broiler chickens divided in three experimental groups: CL, EG1 and EG2. At experimental group EG1 was incorporated barley in proportion of 20% in the structure of combined forage, at EG2 was incorporated 40% barley and at control group was not incorporated barley. At the age of 3 and 6 weeks were determined the nutritive and bioproductive indices. The highest forage consumption is registered at EG1 at which in the structure of combined forages was incorporated 20% barley and was greater with 12.24% comparative with control group. The incorporation of barley in the combined forages in proportion of 20 and 40% has no significant influence on body weight of broiler chickens from experimental groups. The rising of NDF, ADF and ADL content after the incorporation of barley in the structure of combined forages in proportion of 20 and 40% determined a rising of specific consumption with 5.74% at EG1 and 8.62% at EG2.
