Abstract

Broiler chickens' immune response may be affected by the body health; Therefore, this  Study was aimed to evaluated the was aimed to investigate the effect of threonine(Thr.) from  the jefo Co.Canada and zinc (Zn.) from the Zinpro Co.USA  as an important  factor that regulates intestinal amino acid metabolism.  The experiment period was five weeks started from 7/12/2021  to 11/1/2022 carried out in special felid. A  total of 200 straight run one-day broiler chickens (Ross 308) were divided randomly to four groups (50/group) with 2 replicates (25 birds/pen). The control group (CON.) fed basal diet without any additives. The second group was fed the basal diets with  high level calculated (%0.9) Threonine. The third group was fed the basal diets with  level calculated (% 0.1) Zinc. The fourth group was  fed the basal diets with (% 0.9) Threonine and was fed the basal diets with (% 0.1) Zinc. Feed and water provided add libitum to the end of the study.
