Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of finisher diet nutrient density and slaughter age on energy and protein retention efficiency of Broiler chickens. Three hundred 23-day-old Cobb-500 male Broiler chickens were assigned in a 5×2 factorial arrangement of completely randomize design with 10 treatments, 6 replicates and 5 birds each. The experimental treatments included five nutrient levels of finisher diets (102. 5, 100, 97. 5, 95, and 92. 5% levels of nutrient composition recommendations stated by the Cobb-500 Commercial Management Guide) and two slaughtered ages (38 and 46 days of age). As increased dietary nutrient density significantly and linearly increased weight gain, feed efficiency, energy and protein retention efficiency and decreased maintenance energy requirements per unit of weight gain (P<0. 05). By increasing slaughter age from d38 to d46, above indices significantly deteriorated (P<0. 05). The highest residual feed intake belonged to birds fed the finisher diet with 97. 5% of strain recommendation nutrients level. Dietary nutrient density level for optimal weight gain, feed efficiency, and energy and protein retention efficiency by linear broken line models were estimated 101. 7, 98. 7, 97. 7 and 99. 5% of strain recommendation, respectively. Whereas, these values were 2. 3-5. 5 percent less than those estimated by the quadratic broken-line model. As a conclusion, residual feed intake methodology can be a viable alternative to measure dietary energy efficiency. Formulation broiler finisher diet with nutrients concentration lowers than 97. 5% of strain recommendation is not suitable.
