Comparação do consumo de alimento e água em lotes de frango de corte alimentados com ração comercial e milho

Abstract

Poultry farming is a rapidly developing area of livestock. The nutrition of broiler chickens is very relevant, since the feeding of these animals corresponds to about 70% of the production costs, in this way works are developed looking for alternative food sources. In this study, diets based on commercial feed and ground corn grain were analyzed, in which it was observed that corn cannot be used as the only source of nutrients, as it generates a change in the proportion of calcium and phosphorus.
