Α trial at the Agricultural University of Athens, Greece (Laboratory of Nutritional Physiology & Feeding) was conducted to evaluate the dose-response effect of nuphoria on broilers’ performance and productivity parameters under heat stress challenge from 35-40 days old.
In total 294 one-day-old, male Ross-308 broilers were allocated in 3 treatments. All experimental treatments received a maize-soybean meal basal diet in mash form formulated to meet Ross-308 nutrient requirements. The first treatment received a basal diet without nuphoria supplementation (N0) while the other treatments with 1 Kg/ton (N1000), and 2 Kg/ton (N2000) nuphoria respectively.
Results demonstrated that with nuphoria supplementation a significant improvement in performance and productivity parameters has occurred, especially during the heat stress period!
