EFFECTS OF QUERCETIN ON SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND PERFORMANCE OF BROILER CHICKENS RAISED AT DIFFERENT STOCKING DENSITIES
ABSTRACT The study investigated the effects of a potent antioxidant, quercetin, on some physiological parameters, performance, and carcass and meat pH in broiler chickens, raised at different stocking densities. A total of 60 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four treatment groups based on stocking density (12 birds/m2 or 18 birds/m2) and 50 mg/kg body weight quercetin treatment (quercetin-treated or untreated). Quercetin was administered per os once ...
