Extract

One of the most common reason of poultry deaths, their growth inhibition and decrease of body weight in first weeks of chicken life is the vitamin A deficit (Ziele, 1998). The aim of this work were studies, which can help to state the optimum vitamin A concentration for fast growing broilers and to show how vitamin A influences the chicken growth and physic-chemical traits of their meat.
