Effect of Reused Litter and Chemical Amendment on Broiler Chicken Performance and Litter Quality
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of chemical amendments and reused litter on broiler performances, immune response and skin quality. Five hundred and seventy six (576) day old broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 3x2 factorial design experiment. Three amendments treatment i...
