摘要： Calcium (Ca) and non-phytate phosphorus (NPP) are fundamental minerals for bone formation and growth, and optimizing their level is required in broiler production. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect and interaction of dietary Ca and NPP on growth performance, tibial characteristics and biochemical variables for slow-growing yellow-feathered broilers during 1-28 d (the starter phase). Seven hundred and twenty hatchling female broilers were randomly divided into nine groups, which received three levels of Ca (0.80%, 0.90%, 1.00%) each with three levels of NPP (0.40%, 0.45%, 0.50%). The results showed: (1) Dietary Ca level influenced (P < 0.05) the feed to gain ratio (F:G) and average daily feed intake (ADFI). Compared with broilers provided 1.00% Ca, ADFI of birds provided with 0.80% or 0.90% Ca and F:G of those with 0.90% Ca were decreased (P < 0.05). Dietary NPP level did not affect (P > 0.05) growth performance of broilers. (2) Dietary Ca affected (P < 0.05) tibial length. Compared with birds provided with 0.80% Ca, the length of tibia was decreased (P < 0.05) in birds received 1.00% Ca. Interactions between dietary Ca and NPP were observed (P < 0.05) on ash content, breaking strength and bone density of tibia. These three characteristics were better when birds received 0.90% Ca and 0.40% NPP or 1.00% Ca and 0.45% NPP. (3) Dietary Ca significantly affected (P < 0.05) the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum with decreased activity in birds fed 0.80% or 0.90% Ca. The dietary NPP influenced (P < 0.05) the contents of Ca in serum. Serum Ca was increased when birds were provided 0.40% NPP compared with other levels (P < 0.05). Again, there was interaction between Ca and NPP in diet on the contents of phosphorus (P) in serum (P < 0.05). In conclusion, interactions occurred between dietary Ca and NPP level on tibial breaking strength, density, ash content, and the content of P in the serum of young yellow-feathered broilers. Furthermore, dietary Ca affected ADFI, F:G and serum ALP activity, and dietary NPP also affected the P content in serum. Considering all indicators, 0.90% Ca and 0.40% NPP are optimal for slow-growing yellow-feathered broilers during 1-28 d of age. (C) 2021 The Authors.
