Research note: Fumaric acid enhances performance of broiler chickens

Two studies were conduced to examine the effects of dietary inclusion of fumaric acid on performance and carcass composition of broiler chickens. Fumaric acid was added to nutritionally complete diets at levels of O, .125, .25, and 5% and fed from 1 to 49 days under simulated commercial conditions....

Zusammenfassung:	Two studies were conduced to examine the effects of dietary inclusion of fumaric acid on performance and carcass composition of broiler chickens. Fumaric acid was added to nutritionally complete diets at levels of O, .125, .25, and 5% and fed from 1 to 49 days under simulated commercial conditions. In one trial, samples of birds were processed to determine dressing percentage and abdominal fat content. In the first trial (mixed sex broilers), the addition of .125% fumaric acid significantly (P
