title: [Chemical evaluation and determination of the nutritive value of a variety of Opaque-2 corn in the initial diet of broilers].
abstract: Chemical and amino acidic composition of Opaque-2 corn, cultivar CIMMYT-TL 81-A (Hungarian compound) locally produced were determined. In addition, the productive performance of broiler chicks fed Opaque-2 corn or normal corn (Pioneer) for the first 28 days of age was evaluated. The chemical and amino acid content results obtained for the Opaque-2 corn studied, compared well ranges previously reported. The productive performance at the end of the experiment was similar between the two treatments assayed.
