About this document

Iron and Citric Acid in Broiler Diets by Rukhsana Habib is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document reviews literature on the use of iron and citric acid as supplements in broiler diets. Several studies found that iron supplementation at levels of 80 ppm or higher improved broiler growth and hematological parameters. Citric acid was shown to increase the utilization of phosphorus in broiler diets, allowing lower levels of available phosphorus while maintaining growth performance. When combined with enzymes or vitamin D3, citric acid had synergistic effects on bone mineralization in broilers
