Abstract

One hundred,
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 ad libitum 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 samples
were taken for biochemical parameters. 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.
