Table 5. Effect of diets supplemented with different amounts of phytase on carcass parameters of broilers 35 days after hatching1.
Item | CON | LPY | HPY | SEM2 | P value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Carcass weight, % | 74.34 | 71.91 | 71.06 | 1.330 | 0.792 |
Breast muscle weight, % | 26.21 | 24.98 | 25.37 | 0.500 | 0.250 |
Thigh muscle weight, % | 5.49 | 5.97 | 5.75 | 1.560 | 0.127 |
Values are the mean of six replicates per treatment (N=270)
Pooled standard error of mean
CON: control diet (phosphorous-sufficient diet with dicalcium phosphate)
LPY: phosphorous-deficient diet with 0.01% phytase (500 FTU/kg) without dicalcium phosphate
HPY: phosphorous-deficient diet with 0.02% phytase (1000 FTU/kg) without dicalcium phosphate
Means in the same row with different superscripts differ significantly (P<0.05).
