| Trabalho selecionado durante a VI Semana de Ciências Agrárias (VI SECIAGRA), realizada de 01 a 03/10/2012 This study aimed to evaluate the effect of levels of metabolizable energy (ME) and digestible lysine (DL) on the final weight, weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio for broilers from 1 to 10 days old. A total of 1,152 male broiler chicks with an average weight of 55 g were distributed in a completely randomized design with a 4 x 4 factorial arrangement, involving four levels of ME (2700, 2825, 2950, and 3075 kcal.kg-1) and four levels of DL (1.08, 1.187, 1.295 and 1.403%), resulting in 16 treatments with three replications and 24 chicks per experimental unit. The levels of digestible lysine and metabolizable energy... |
