Abstract

Mean serum concentrations of calcium (4.097 ± 0.82), phosphorus (6.22 ± 0.71) and sodium (149.3 ± 11.4) were higher in broilers fed intermittently. Mean serum chloride and potassium showed no statistically significant differences in relation to feeding regimes. Mean serum calcium concentration was maximum in broilers fed with crumbles (4.05 ± 1.58) and crumbles + pellets (4.15 ± 0.64), whereas mean serum phosphorus concentration was higher in broilers fed with crumbles (5.90 ± 0.79). Mean serum potassium concentration was higher in broilers fed mash diet (8.38 ± 0.88) and crumbles + pellets (8.30 ± 1.33), whereas mean sodium concentration was higher in broilers fed crumbles + pellets diet (180.0 ± 31.9). The variations were significantly different at statistical level (p
