This present study was conducted to evaluate the comparative effects of supplementation of ascorbic acid, Ayucee® and AV/LAP/19 in diet and water on the performance of heat- exposed broilers. One hundred and Twenty day-old unsexed broiler chicks of strain Vencobb were purchased from a local hatchery for this study and were randomly allotted into four treatment groups (T0, T1, T2 and T3) with each treatment having three replicates and each replicate having ten birds. T0 was control group with no treatment, T1 group was administered with Synthetic Vit. C (AA) 100g/ton of feed, T2 was given AyuceeR premix @100g/ton of feed whereas, T3 was administered with AV/LAP/19Starter:@1 ml/100 birds/day in water Grower: @ 2ml/100 birds/day in water Finisher: @ 3ml/100 birds/day in water. Performance parameters, Internal Organs Weight, Meat quality and carcass traits were studied. The present study on performance indicated lower body weights and poor feed efficiency in the heat stressed group as compared to the treatment groups (T2 followed by T3 and T1).The meat quality and carcass traits of the birds of T2, T3 and T1 are significantly different from the control (T0) group. Thus Ayucee is having heat ameliorating activity and immunomodulatory properties as compared to AV/LAP/19 and synthetic Vitamin C.
