A trial of 240 day-old commercial broiler chicks was carried out on littered floor for a period of 28 days. The birds were allocated randomly to 3 treatments and a control group with three replications (20 birds/ replication). Feeding management and rearing condition were same for all the groups, as per standard. YE was mixed with drinking water as treatment as follows: 1ml YE per 16 liters of drinking water (T1), 1ml YE per 20 liters of drinking water (T2), 1ml YE per 24 liters of drinking water (T3) and no YE in drinking water i.e control group (T0). Ammonia level of Yucca treated groups were significantly (Pth week of rearing period than control group. A significant difference (P2 group was better than other groups. This study concluded that application of YE (1ml/ 20 liters of drinking water) has an important role to reduce ammonia gas emission from broiler litter and increase the birds performance. date: 2020-03-25 publication: Journal of World's Poultry Research volume: 10 number: 1 publisher: Scienceline Publication, Ltd pagerange: 57-62 id_number: 10.36380/JWPR.2020.8 refereed: TRUE issn: 2322455X (ISSN) official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85086850448&doi=10.36380%2fJWPR.2020.8&partnerID=40&md5=faaf632ef431ab8734dc540d83cfc613 j_index: scopus citation: (2020) Effect of supplementation of Yucca schidigera extract on ammonia gas emission and performance of broiler chickens.
