DSS40 yucca saponin was fed at 63 ppm (approximately .9 ppm active steroid saponin) in combination with monensin at 99 ppm or 121 ppm in an experiment using 1224 commercial straight-run broilers. Yucca saponin added to broiler diets did not significantly increase body weights; however, it improved (P≤.05) feed efficiency of broilers when fed with 121 ppm of monensin. Results showed no significant differences in mortality, shank pigmentation, or litter moisture.
