Özet

The present study was conducted to determine effects of low ambient temperature and dietary vitamin E supplementation on growth performance and ascites- related traits in broilers, and to assess oxidative stress status in broilers with ascites. Male broiler chicks (Ross) were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups. Control or low temperature groups were fed a standard commercial diet with (200 mg Vitamin E/kg) or without supplemental vitamin E from 0 to 6 week of age.
