Abstract
The experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary supplementation
of betaine with reduction of methionine on performance of commercial broiler
chicken in summer season. One hundred and sixty-eight (168) straight run day old
commercial broiler chicks were distributed randomly to seven treatment groups, each
treatment group consisted of four replicates, each with six chicks leading to 24 chicks
per treatment. The experiment was conducted for a duration of six weeks. The seven
treatments were divided as follows: T1 diet was kept as control (without Betaine Hcl).
T2 diet contained Betaine Hcl @50g/100kg of feed, T3 diet contained Betaine Hcl
@100g/100kg of feed, T4 diet contained Betaine Hcl @50g/100kg of feed along with
10 % reduction of Methionine, T5 diet contained Betaine Hcl @50g/100kg of feed
along with 20 % reduction of Methionine, T6 diet contained Betaine Hcl
@100g/100kg of feed along with 10 % reduction of Methionine and T7 diet contained
Betaine Hcl @100g/100kg of feed along with 20 % reduction of Methionine.
