Abstract:
... Copper supplementation (125–250 ppm) in poultry diets is a common practice in many non-EU countries to enhance bird health, but high amounts of Cu may interact with phytate and affect animal performance. The effects could depend on the nature of the Cu source. Thus, the objective of this trial was to compare the effects of two sources of Cu, copper sulphate (CuSO4) and dicopper oxide (Cu2O, CoRoug ...
