Effects of Calcium Source and Calcium Level on Growth Performance, Immune Organ Indexes, Serum Components, Intestinal Microbiota, and Intestinal Morphology of Broiler Chickens

Effects of Calcium Source and Calcium Level on Growth Performance, Immune Organ Indexes, Serum Components, Intestinal Microbiota, and Intestinal Morphology of Broiler Chickens

SUMMARY: The influence of different calcium source and calcium levels on the growth performance, immune organ indexes, intestinal microbiota and morphology of broiler chickens was studied. We used scallop shells to produce active dicalcium phosphate (ADP), shell powder cleaned by acetic acid (SCAC),...
