AB  - A study was conducted to determine the effects of calcium (Ca) levels, phytase, organic acids (citric, ascorbic acis) and vitamin D3 on broiler performance and nutrient digestibility (d 1 to 21) in wheat-based diets. Phytase addition at the high Ca level increased body weight (BW), feed intake (FI), and tibia ash. Increased protein and P digestibility at the lower level  of Ca was found. Subsequent addition of citric and ascorbic acid to the low Ca diets increased BW and protein digestibility by 11.1 and 23% more than the values obtained from the control diet, respectively. The addition of phytase with citric acid, ascorbic acid, and vitamin D3 to the low Ca control diet improved BW and P digestibility by 18 and 60% respectively.
