An Experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing organic and nano trace minerals (Mn, Cu and Zn) at reduced dietary levels on the growth performance of broiler birds. 240 day-old commercial broiler chicks (Cobb strain) were assigned in equal numbers to five groups consisting of four replicates each. The basal diet was supplemented with inorganic trace minerals (Sulphate’s of Mn, Cu and Zn) at 100% of the standard recommendation to serve as control (ITM-100). Four test diets were prepared by supplementing organic trace minerals (glycinate form) at 75 % (OTM-75) and 50 % (OTM-50) of the standard recommendation and nano trace minerals at 50 % (NTM-50) and 25 % (NTM-25) of the standard recommendation. Each diet prepared for pre-starter (1-7 days), starter (8-21 days) and finisher (22-42 days) phases was offered to birds of four replicates. The results revealed that, there was non-significant difference in cumulative average body weight, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, nutrient metabolizability, blood biochemical parameters, immune response and tibial mineral deposition in broiler chickens among the treatments when compared to the control group (ITM-100) on the 42nd day. Survivability remained comparable among all the groups during all the phases. Mineral balance (Mn, Cu and Zn) was significantly (P< 0.05) influenced by different sources, with reduced levels of these trace minerals showing a notably higher retention percentage in the organic and nano groups compared to the control group. It was concluded that, similar performance levels in broilers can be achieved by using organic or nanoparticle trace minerals at 50% and 25% of the standard recommendation in broilers.
