The current study was carried out on a poultry farm which belongs to the Animal production department - College of Agriculture - University of Kufa, for a period of 35 days started from October 10 to November 13, 2020 for 5 weeks to find out the effect of adding different levels of turmeric root powder and carnation flowers to the diet on some productive traits of broilers. in the experiment, 360 broiler chicks were used, one-day-old Ross-308 hybrid, The chicks were divided randomly into 6 treatments (60 chicks/treatment) by 3 replicates per treatment, with 20 chicks for each with an average initial weight of 40gm and the treatments were as follows: 0, 3, and 5 gm/kg diet of turmeric root powder for treatments T0, T1, T2, as well as 3 and 5 gm/kg diet fodder of carnation flower powder for treatments T3 and T4, respectively.
The current study was carried out on a poultry farm which belongs to the Animal production department - College of Agriculture - University of Kufa,for a period of 35 days, start from October 10 to November 13, 2020, for 5 weeks to find out the effect of adding different levels of turmeric root powder and carnation flowers to the diet on some productive traits of broilers. In this experiment, 360 broiler chicks were used, a one-day-old Ross-308 hybrid. Chicks were divided randomly into 6 treatments (60 chick/treatment). Each treatment had 3 replicates with 20 chicks each.These replicate included 20 chicks with an initial average weight of 40gm and the treatments were as follows: 0, 3, and 5 gm/kg diet of turmeric root powder for T0, T1, T2, as well as 3 and 5 gm/kg diet of carnation flower powder for T3 and T4, respectively, and T5 contained 4 gm/kg diet fodder mix of both turmeric root powder and carnation flowers. Chicks were exposed to Cyclical day temperature. Results showed a significant increase (P<0.01) in the total body weight average in T2 and T5 Compared with T0, T1, and T3. Total weight gain increased significantly in T5 (P<0.01) compared to T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4.Also, results showed a significant increase (P<0.01) in the total feed consumption ratio in T1, T2, T4, and T5 compared to T0 and T3. In addition, thetotal conversion coefficient for the birds showed a significant increase (P<0.01) in T4 and T5 by showing the lowest value 1.58 for both treatments compared to T1 and T3(1.64, and 1.62), respectively.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of addition the different levels of Hayicinth (Einhhornia Crassipes) instead of barely in diet on Jejunum of villi of broilers, The experiment was carried out in the Animal Prodcction Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Kufa, associated with the department of medical laborites Sciences / laboratory of Histology and Anatomy. A total of 300 broiler Ross type, one day age, were divided into 5 groups, each group contain 60 birds. They were subjected to five treatments as following:-group (T1): control in which they were given normal diet without any additions, Group (T2): were given 25 % of Hayicinth (Einhhornia Crassipes ) in diet daily, Group (T3): were given 50 % of Hayicinth (Einhhornia Crassipes ) in diet daily, Group (T4): were given 75 % of Hayicinth (Einhhornia Crassipes ) in diet daily and Group (T5): which were given 100 % of Hayicinth (Einhhornia Crassipes ) in diet daily. The treatment started at the beginning of one day old of age till 5 weeks. At the end of treatment a portion of Jejunum was taken for histological examination of villi. The histological examination revealed that Group (T1) control showed normal structure for the villi in the 4 main layer, while, Group (T2) had long villi, mucosa had damage in some metaplasia, epical villi was damaged and serosa with smooth muscle was regular and edematous. Group (T3) revealed long, thick hypertrophy villi, mucosa and sub mucosa was edematous and damaged, while, serosa had irregular fiber smooth muscle, intestinal glands was irregular in shape and epical villi was damaged. However, Group (T4) deducted long thin lamina properia with complete damage of mucosa, Filamentous sub mucosa without muscle fiber and intestinal glands were irregular in shape, while, Group (T5) showed sever damage of mucosa and sub mucosa, filamentous lamina properia, intestinal glands showed sever hypertrophy and irregularity in shape with some glands were damaged with cytoplasm lost its appearance and nucleus lost its shape while, serosa showed irregular muscle fiber and edematous. It was concluded that the addition of Hayicinth (Einhhornia crassipes) had adverse effect on the structure of villi of Jejunum of broiler chicks which was a dose dependent.
This study was conducted at the poultry farm, collage of veterinary, of Kufa included field experimentation which was conducted during the period from 24th of December 2010 to 23th April 2011. The experiment aimed to investigate the effect of betaine supplemented to the diet to alleviate the negative effects of heat stress through study of some productive traits of turkey were being exposed to heat stress. Sixty unsexed one day old chick turkey(Nicholas 300) average weight (58gram). The chicks were reared on a ground throughout two stages: the first stage from one day old to 12 weeks old with no treatment whereas second stage was from 13-16 weeks of age. They were randomly allocated 3 treatment groups, each comprising of 2 replicates of 10 chicks, the treatment containing three betaine levels at 0,1000,1500 mg/kg diet T1,T2 and T3 respectively, birds reared under cyclic high temperature 27-38-27 cilices and relative humidity average 55-60%.1. Birds in T2 have a higher (P<0.05) body weight in average at 16 weeks of age. And the average of weight gain during the period of 13-16 weeks of age is also higher as compared to other treatments2. During the period of 13-16 weeks of age, food conversion rate for T2 was best at significant level (P<0.05) compared with other treatment.3. Birds in T2 have a higher (P<0.05)food intake average during the period 13-16 weeks of age as compared with the other treatments.4.Abdomnal fat significantly decreased (p<0.05) while breast muscle ratio and breast meat yield were increased (p<0.01) in T3 as compared with T1 .5. birds in T2 and T3 resulted in significant decrease( P<0.05) in mortality as compared with control treatment.6. Production index (PI) and economic figure (EF) were significantly improved for T2 and T3 compared with the control.
