Zusammenfassung:In order to test whether exogenous coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) can improve growth performance and heart mitochondrial function of broilers grown at high altitude, a study was conducted on a farm in Xining City of Qinghai Province of China at an altitude of 2,200m with a 78% of partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen (O2) as compared to that at sea level. Three hundred, 1-d-old male, broilers (Arbor Acres) were divided into three groups and fed diets supplemented with 0mg (control, C), 20mg (Q1) or 40mg (Q2) CoQ10 per kg feed. CoQ10 supplementation increased body weight (BW) of broilers at 21d of age. BWs of Q1 (551.6±9.8g) and Q2 (509.4±10.7g) were higher than that of C (465.7±10.3g) at 21d of age (P
