Description Effect of supplementation of organic minerals on the performance of broilers was studied on 225 coloured synthetic broiler chicks randomly divided into 5 groups. The inorganic minerals viz. Zn, Cu and Mn were added @ 40, 8 and 60 ppm, respectively in control group (T1). The inorganic minerals of treatment group were replaced with organic minerals in T2 (8 ppm organic Cu), T3 (40 ppm organic Zn) and T4 (60 ppm organic Mn) and T5/SUB> (8, 40, and 60 ppm Cu, Zn and Mn, respectively). Weekly body weight and feed consumption were recorded. At 42 day, serum biochemical indices, total ash and mineral content of tibia and carcass parameter were determined. The body weights of broiler till< third weeks of age of all the treated groups did not differ significantly. The sixth week body weight of T3 was significantly higher than that of T1. The FCR of all the treated groups did not differ significantly. The studied biochemical parameters viz. serum glucose, albumin, globulin, albumin and globulin ratio, protein, urea, calcium, phosphorus, and SGOT levels of all the treatments of the experimental broilers did not differ significantly. Significantly lower serum cholesterol and higher SGPT and ALP levels were observed in organic Zn fed groups. Carcass characteristics and tibia bone parameters of the broilers of different dietary treatments at sixth week of age did not differ significantly. From this experiment, it may be concluded that replacement of inorganic zinc with Zn-methionine resulted in better body weight of broilers.
