Physical and physiological changes associated with stunting syndrome in turkeys and effects of diet

摘要: Experiments were done to determine the effect of feeding diets different ingredient composition poults experimentally infected with stunting syndrome (SS) at 1 day age. In first experiment, a diet containing fish meal and meat bone (AP diet) as main protein sources eliminated effects SS inoculation on performance traits compared fed practical corn-soy (CS) diet. spite similar performances in noninoculated (Nonlnoc, dosed per os ml tryptose phosphate broth age) inoculated (Inoc, SS-inoculum AP diet, these had activities sucrase maltase jejunum ileum CS- Inoc poults.
