Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary salt levels on the performance in laying hens and broilers. In experiment 1, 108 Avian broilers of 21 days age were conducted to evaluate broiler's performance. The broilers were divided into 6 treatment groups with 6 pens (3 broilers/pen), and fed diets with different levels of salt with 0.25 (control), 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5%, respectively, for 3 weeks (3~5 weeks). The feed intake was not affected by the treatments. However, moisture content in feces was increased as increasing levels of dietary salt (P less than 0.05).
