Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different
forms of dietary flavonoid on the production performance and
intestinal morphology of broiler. A database was built from published
literatures regarding the different forms of dietary flavonoid. The
database contained a total of 103 data points from 39 studies that met the criteria. The different forms of dietary flavonoid were considered as fixed effects and different studies were treated as random effects, and p-values were used as the model statistics. Results revealed that both unextracted and crude extract of flavonoid increased (p<0.05) average daily gain and villus height of ileum, but did not give any significant effects on other parameters. Flavonoid can maintain the health of villus, so it gives the increment of absorption of feed and affects average daily gain. The conclusion of this paper is that the different forms of flavonoid have a positive impact on production performance and intestine histology of broiler
