Interactive effect of 2 dietary calcium and phytase levels on broilers challenged with subclinical necrotic enteritis: part 1—broiler performance, gut lesions and pH, bacterial counts, and apparent ileal digestibility

This study investigated the hypothesis that high dietary calcium (Ca) would stimulate necrotic enteritis (NE) and reduce performance, gut health, and nutrient digestibility, and if increased, phytase would reduce NE. Ross 308 male broilers (n = 768) were randomly distributed to 8 treatments in a fac...
