Abstract EN
The effect of ochratoxin A (OA) on the body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion was investigated in broiler chicken fed dietary levels of OA at 0, 1, and 2 ppm for 28 days from hatch.
Feeding OA significantly reduced the growth rate of broiler chicken.
The reduction was observed from the first week onwards in OA-treated groups.
Feed consumption and feed conversion also showed a diminishing trend from the first week of feeding toxin.
Its implication on the performance of broiler chicken is discussed.
