The results showed that the addition of sea sand in the feed of broilers can improve the quality of the digestibility of feed to broilers (Gallus sp.) The addition of sea sand in the feed of broilers increase body weight gain, feed conversion and mortality in broilers, reduces mortality in broiler, The addition of sea sand in broiler feed of the best in the feed of 2% at treatment p2.
