Growth promoting effect of a processed vegetable ingredient in pullets Coello, K. D. Castellanos, L. A. Paz, P. E. Valdivié, M. Martínez, Y. A total of 1,500 one-day-old Hy-Line W36 pullets were randomized in two treatments, 15 repetitions and 50 pullets per repetitions to evaluate the dietary use of a processed vegetable ingredient (PVI) as a functional feed on the growth performance of pullets. The dietary treatments consisted of the inclusion of 10, 8, 5, and 3 % of the processed vegetable ingredient in starter 1 (0-3 weeks), starter 2 (4-6 weeks), grower (7-12 weeks), developer and pre-lay (13-15; 16-17 weeks, respectively). From the third week on, the functional feed increased (P<0.05) the body weight of pullets compared to the control diet (193.98 vs 204.38 g), without notable changes for viability, uniformity, and feed conversion ratio for 17 experimental weeks (P>0.05). The dietary inclusion with the processed vegetable ingredient had a natural growth-promoting effect on pullets.Key words: body weight, dietary inclusion, feed intake, functional feed, birds Instituto de Ciencia Animal 2023-10-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip application/zip https://cjascience.com/index.php/CJAS/article/view/1094 Cuban Journal of Agricultural Science; Vol. 57 (2023): Cuban Journal of Agricultural Science Cuban Journal of Agricultural Science; Vol. 57 (2023): Cuban Journal of Agricultural Science 2079-3480 0864-0408 eng https://cjascience.com/index.php/CJAS/article/view/1094/1441 https://cjascience.com/index.php/CJAS/article/view/1094/1457 https://cjascience.com/index.php/CJAS/article/view/1094/1458 https://cjascience.com/index.php/CJAS/article/view/1094/1459
