This experiment was carried out to study the effect of different levels of supplemental Cu(0, 100, 200 mg/kg) and vitamin C (0, 400, 800 mg/kg) on broiler chicks. A total of 360 day old chicks in a completely randomized block design in a factorial arrangement were used. The chickens were divided into 36 groups, 10 chickens per group. four replicates received one of the nine experimental diets. No significant increase in body weight observed due to Vit.C supplementation but added Cu caused an increase in feed consumption, feed conversion and body weight (P<0.05). The amount of 400 p.p.m added vitamin C significantly increased abdominal fat (P <0.05). Increased Cu consumption resulted in an increase in liver Cu content, but liver Cu content was not affected by Vit.C supplementatiqn.
