A broiler is an early maturing hybrid of a pet, in this case a chicken, which was obtained as a result of the crossing of individuals of different breeds. The main feature of such animals is intensive weight gain. So, young broiler chickens by the age of 7 weeks are gaining about 2.5 kg.

We will describe further what vitamin supplements are necessary for broiler chickens.
Vitamin deficiency factors
Causes of avitaminosis in chickens can be:
