Abstract

Oxidized bituminous coal as a water supplement was studied to evaluate its effects on ammonia, litter, footpad lesions, and carcass attributes in broiler chickens. Bituminous coal water supplementation resulted in more severe footpad lesions; however, no significant effect was found for ammonia, litter, or carcass attributes under conditions in the present study.
