SUMMARY

Considerable controversy still remains on the use of antimicrobials to promote growth in animals raised for human consumption. Therefore, alternative strategies have been actively researched to replace these antimicrobials. This study evaluated the performance of broilers fed Sangrovit (1.5 % sanguinarine, a quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid extracted from plants), a blend of organic acids (40 % lactic, 7 % acetic, 5 % phosphoric, and 1 % butyric) or a combination of Sangrovit and organic acids. One-day-old male broiler chicks (Cobb × Cobb 500) were placed in 44 floor pens, with 35 birds per pen. Birds were fed corn-soybean meal all-vegetable diets without growth promoters or anticoccidials, and were vaccinated for coccidiosis at placement. Four treatments and 11 replications were used.
