An experiment was conducted to evaluate poultry litter ash (PLA) at graded levels (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) as a dietary substitute for dicalcium phosphate (dicalP) for broiler chickens, where PLA was substituted for dicalP on a wt/wt basis. A decreased BW gain was observed at 21 d from PLA at the 100% substitution rate when compared with the 25% substitution rate. No effects on BW gain, feed consumption, or FCR were incurred by study termination at 41 d, and the 100% substitution rate of dicalP did not cause any detrimental effects on the live performance in market age broilers. Although femur ash percentages decreased with increasing levels of PLA, bone integrity was not compromised by the addition of PLA to the diet. Dry matter digestibility of dietary Ca (26.32-58.65%) and P (30.23-42.68%) increased with increasing levels of PLA (0-100%), respectively, inferring that the Ca and P component of the diet was more efficiently used as the level of PLA increased. In conclusion, PLA resulting from the combustion of poultry litter can be used as a P and Ca source for broilers.
