Abstract
Synopsis The results of four experiments testing the effect of a flavour made up of ethyl butyrate and other esters, phenylacetic acid and other organic acids, oil of juniper and other essential oils, diacetyl, and maltol on the feed utilisation and growth of broiler chicks to 8 weeks of age have shown small but consistent improvements in feed conversion. This improvement was significant (P>0.05) when the 8‐week results of the four tests were pooled, but were not significant when tested within each experiment. The 4‐week results of the combined experiments indicated a highly significant (P<0.01) improvement in feed utilisation following the use of the flavour.
