Comparisons of the effect for five different levels of butyrate were carried out, with or without the associated minero-vitamins mixture supplemented with essential amino acids and additives in the starter feed for phase I, 1-15 days old, resulting in ten treatments in total. In the diets for phase II, 16-36 days old, there was no feed mixture and just one level of SB in the treatments for samples 2 to 5 and 7 to 10. The samples 1 and 6 were the control group without SB. For this work we used a total of 960 one-day old broilers (Cobb-500), obtained from a commercial hatchery. The broilers were distributed into ten experimental treatments, with 8 repetitions per cage per treatment and 12 birds per cage, with a total of 80 cages and 960 broilers. At the end of the experiment after 36 days, a swab was collected from six birds per cage to assess the presence of campylobacter, but not positive results for this microorganism.
