Abstract
A biological experiment was conducted to find out the influence of dietary supplementation of sodium diformate (NDF) at 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 per cent level and oxytetracycline at 0.02 per cent level on the production performance of commercial broilers in environmentally controlled housing system. The result of the experiment revealed that dietary inclusion of sodium diformate at 0.20 per cent level had significantly increased the body weight and body weight gain and better feed conversion ratio in broilers, whereas sodium diformate supplementation had no significant influence on the feed consumption and livability of broilers reared in environmentally controlled housing system.
