ABSTRACT Background Scientific information on the diets of various nutritional planes supplemented with organic acids is scarce in tropical environments. Objectives This study was conducted to evaluate response broilers different or without acids. A total 240 one‐day‐old unsexed broiler chicks Cobb 500 strain were randomly assigned 6 treatments, each 4 replicates having 10 chicks. Methods The treatments chickens fed an optimal diet (optimal energy and protein) (Diet 1), a medium (medium 2) low (low 3), while 4, 5 1, 2 3 8 g/kg acid ( Fysal‐MP ), respectively. laid out completely randomized design. Results birds supplementation recorded similar p > 0.05) final weights compared those (T1); however, higher < (T3). feed conversion ratio better containing acid, irrespective plane. Birds aspartate aminotransferase during starter phase. lower basal width other diets. microbial counts reduced acids, lowest reduction group Conclusions It concluded that enhanced blood parameters, carcass traits, growth performance chickens.
