In order to investigate the effects of magnetized water treated with HI-Scalper153R on body performance and ammonia concentration in feces of broiler chicks, a feeding trial was conducted with a total of 180 broiler chicks. Each treatment had 18 chicks with 5 replications. Chicks during experimental periods, broiler chicks were fed magnetized water and subterranean water, respectively. The results obtained summarized as follows: Body weight gain slightly increased for broiler chicks fed magnetized water compared with control. But, there is no significantly (p=0.36) different among treatments. Feed intake significantly (p=0.046) decreased for broiler chicks fed magnetized water compared with control. Feed efficiency was significantly (p=0.020) improved for broiler chicks fed magnetized water of each periods when compare to the control. Especially, in starter periods, the feed efficiency of magnetized water treatment increased by 10% more than control (1.80 vs 1.69). In feces, average ammonia concentration (ppm) significantly (p=0.004) decreased in the magnetized water treatment compare to control. Especially, the magnetized water treatment decreased by 2.2 times compared to the control in ammonia concentration of feces (83 vs 37ppm).
