Effect of dietary lactate and glucose on the incidence of sudden death syndrome in male broiler chickens

An experiment with a factorial arrangement of treatments using four levels of dietary lactate (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5% calcium lactate) and four levels of dietary glucose (0, 15, 30, and 45% cerelose) was conducted to determine the effect of these compounds on the incidence of sudden death syndrome (SDS)...

Summary:An experiment with a factorial arrangement of treatments using four levels of dietary lactate (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5% calcium lactate) and four levels of dietary glucose (0, 15, 30, and 45% cerelose) was conducted to determine the effect of these compounds on the incidence of sudden death syndrome (SDS) in 1,280 male broiler chickens reared in battery brooder cages to 4 wk of age. Overall mortality was 6.64% of which 32.9% (or 2.19% of broilers housed) was attributed to SDS. There were no significant differences between treatments in either total mortality or mortality due to SDS.
