Effect of reducing dietary protein level on performance responses and some microbiological aspects of broiler chickens under summer environmental conditions

It is interesting to see that cp levels in broiler ration also might be contributing to the levels of intestinal microorganism levels if it is mesophilic, ecoli any other out of many . Normally in hot weather condition in tunnel ventilated house what is the impact where ideal environment is maintained. The normal defensive mechanism in the body of broiler take care the levels of gut bacterial load when litter condition is well maintained and veg feed are preferred. No advantage in feeding more than 18%cp than other higher levels in finisher period of broilers up to 42days of age. The fcr shown with bwt are very much ideal for broiler in all three levels. I see good fcr with excellent body wt is more dependent on viral vaccination to also control bacterial levels in the gut. It is a excellent study conducted and more findings on this issue would clarify many more points . thank you.
