The objective of this study was to evaluate the supplementation of L-glutamine in the diet of chickens on the floor and fed diets without anticoccidial agents and promoters of growth. Were used 500 chicks, males, Cobb distributed in randomized blocks design with five treatments and four replicates with 25 birds each. The treatments consisted of increasing levels of glutamine in the diets (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0%) throughout the rearing period, 42 days old. Were evaluated performance, digestibility (18-21 days), carcass yield and Histomorphometry of small intestine (18 and 42 days old). Data were submitted to polynomial regression analysis and means compared by Scott Knott (0,05) test. There was an effect of glutamine supplementation only during pre-starter feed, and the best level of feed addition of 1%. The results for performance up to 42 days of age, carcass yield and nutrient digestibility of the diet showed no difference (P> 0.05) between the levels of glutamine in the diet. histomorphometry at 18 days of age difference was observed for crypt depth in the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) (P <0.05), being the duodenum and ileum the best level of glutamine was 2% and jejunum 1%. For the results of histomorphometry at 42 days old, significant effect of glutamine to crypt depth in duodenum, jejunum and ileum, with the highest levels found in 1, 0.5 and 2% respectively. It is recommended the addition of 1% L-glutamine in the pre-started the improvement of feed conversion rate at 1-7 days of age and better development of the small intestine.
