one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were allocated in five treatment
groups; control (100 mg/kg Vit E), 20 mg/kg Vit E, 20 mg/kg Vit E +Economase; 40
mg/kg Vit E, 40 mg/kg Vit E+Economase. The birds were fed </span> <i> <span style="font-size:14px;">ad libitum </span> </i> <span style="font-size:14px;"> for 42 days in individual cages. Body weight gain, food
intake, food efficiency (gain/food intake) and carcass weight were measured.  Breast and thigh meats were sampled for TBARS
evaluation, blood </span> </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:14px;line-height:115%;font-family:’Times New Roman’;" xml:lang="en-gb">samples
were taken for biochemical parameters. </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:14px;line-height:115%;font-family:’Times New Roman’;" xml:lang="en-gb">No significant differences between growth performances
of treatment groups were observed. Drip loss was not affected significantly
(P>0.05), but water holding capacity was lower (P<0.05) at 20 mg/kg Vit E
in contrast to the control and the other treatments groups receiving 20 or 40
mg/kg vit E with Economase. Blood total antioxidant capacity in control groups
was significantly (P<0.05) higher than the treatment groups. TBARS values of
the groups receiving 100 mg/kg vitamin E or 40 mg/kg Vitamin E plus Economase
found to be lower. The results suggest that vitamin E level in the commercial
broiler diets could be reduced to 40 mg/kg using Economase at 200 mg/kg without
loss in the growth performance, meat quality and also oxidative stability. </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">     </span> <br /> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Gültekin ÖZDEMİR}
