One of alternative foods for broiler turkeys might be inexpensive corn silage added to the typical formula. Although the addition of corn silage to the daily meal is well accepted by turkeys, the growth rate, according to our observations, is diminished. So far, very little attention has been paid to the manipulation of DCAD in growing turkeys. Since one of the causes of the growth rate suppression by silage may be a deviation in DCAD, we sought to determine whether lowering or increasing these values may improve the performance of growing young turkeys. It is known that in other species a higher DCAD stimulates the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of protein and dry matter, but concomitantly the maintenance energy expenditure (MEm) is also higher (20, 22). At least in some species, a lower acidic content and high potassium in the diet enhance both bone accretion and bone health. Seemingly, Kim et al. (14) discovered that, in opposition to chloride, cation supplementation alleviates the lysine-arginine antagonism in chicks. Hitherto, our attention in broilers has been focused on the specific effects of cations and anions in the diet (1, 13, 17, 23). Our aim was to determine the responses of turkeys to a corn silage diet with different values of DCAD and to draw attention to the possible usefulness of this kind of ingredient in turkey farming. Moreover, since the dietary intake has been shown to influence the acid-base balance (ABB), our studies were aimed at clarifying the response of ABB-parameters in turkeys fed a corn silage diet with different DCAD. To obtain Growth rate and acid-base balance in turkeys fed a silage-containing diet modified by different dietary cation-anion difference
