Description
Summary:	The objective of this study was to explore the effect of Spirulina and Chlorella as a dietary supplement on thegrowth performance of broiler chicken at high altitude. In this experiment, birds were divided into groups of 30 andtheir basal diet was supplemented with Spirulina and Chlorella in varying composition up to 5%. The study showedthat supplementation of the basal diet with Spirulina and Chlorella significantly influenced the growth performanceof broiler chicken. The body weight and FCR improved during the study. The diet supplemented with 2.5% ofSpirulina was the most suitable and economically feasible for broiler chicken at high altitudes.
