Effect of litter material and dietary fibre on gut development, gut microflora and performance in broilers

A feeding study was conducted to compare the effects of litter material, dietary fibre and sex on growth performance, organ development, mucosal morphometry and gut microbial communities in broilers. Seven hundred twenty day old Cobb chicks were allocated to 24 floor pens in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design with 3 pens of 30 birds per replicate (3 pens of males and 3 pens of females). Factors were: litter material, paper or hardwood shavings; dietary fibre, low or high and sex. Diets consisted of wheat, soybean meal, meat meal, expeller canola meal, poultry fat, vitamin and minerals. Birds and feed were weighed on days 7, 21, and 35.
