NOCHE RUNELITA ALCAZAR Interaction Between Level and Period of Vitamin C Supplementation on Broiler Performance". B.S. Thesis, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, March 1997. Adviser: Dr. Pedro Q. Olabe
A study on the supplementation of Vitamin C during the t two weeks, 2nd two weeks and last two weeks of rearing ] with 0, 200, and 400 mg Vitamin C per kilogram feed level was conducted using 162 birds to determine their interaction on broiler performance.
There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in level of Vitamin C, period of supplementation and interaction in the average initial body weight of broilers used in the study. Both period and level of Vitamin C supplementation did not affect the body weight (P > 0.05) and feed conversion efficiency. On the other hand, cumulative feed consumption was higher (P < 0.01) in supplemented birds while no differences (P < 0.05) were noted between periods of supplementation. The relative weights of gizzard, spleen, heart and liver were heavier in the supplemented than in the unsupplemented birds. Spleen and heart were heavier (P < 0.01) in males than in females.
