Description
Experimental trial
Objective: Effects of diet supplementation with VF Power on broilers’ performance.
Date: 2014-02-02 to 2014-03-18
Animals: Two hundred and eighty day-old male broiler chicks
Material & Methods: The birds fed with diets based on corn -soybean meal as mash during 1-14 (Starter), 15-28 (Grower), and 29-35 (Finisher) days of age. Dietary treatments were as follow: 1) Control diet (based on corn-soybean meal) 2) Basal diet + 300 gr/ MT BioPowerTM
Measured parameters: Body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI) measured during 1-14, 15-28, 29-35, 1-28 and 1-435 days of age. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was calculated by dividing feed intake to body weight gain. Productivity efficiency index (PEI) also was calculated at the end of experimental period.
Statistical analysis: Analysis of data was carried out using Inde-pendent-samples T Test. All statements of significance were based on a probability of P < 0.05.

Effect of diet supplementation with VF-Power on body weight of broiler chicks
An analysis of the experimental data generated in this investigation clearly point to the posetive effect of VF-Power on body weight and body weight gain of broiler chicks (Picture 1 & 2).
Effect of diet supplementation with VF-Power on body weight gain of broiler chicks
The body weight and body weight gain was increased more than 5.5 % in the broilers fed VF-Power diets.
Effect of diet supplementation with VF Power on feed intake of broiler chicks
Feeding VF-Power to broiler chickens resulted in increase (0.5%) in feed intake at the starter phase (Picture 3).
Effect of diet supplementation with VF Power on FCR of broiler chicks
Feeding VF- Power significantly reduced the FCR of broiler thickens (Picture 4). The reduction was observed at the starter phase (more than 8%) and at the end of 35 days in VF- Power heated groups.
