| Abstract | ||
| The research was carried out at the poultry farm belong to Animal Resources department, College of Agriculture, University of Al- Anbar during the period of April 25 to 5 June, 2013. The objective of this study was to study the effect of adding cupric sulfate and garlic powder and their effects on broiler physiological performance. One-hundred and fifty one-day old Ross chicks were used, the birds randomly distributed into five treatments three replicate per treatment (10 chicks/ treatment). The birds fed similar ration in crude protein and metatabolizable energy during starter and finisher periods. T1 (control) without any addition, T2 cupric sulfate was added at level 250 ppm, T3 cupric sulfate was added at level 350 ppm, T4 Garlic powder was added at the levels of 0.75%, T5 included addition of garlic powder at level 1.5%. The results were revealed a significant in hematocrit values, packed cell volume, hemoglobin concentration, red blood cells, white blood cells count. A significant decrease (p<0.05) in all treatments in heterophil lymphocyte ratio as compare with T1. However the results revealed a significant decline (p<0.05) in blood glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) in most additives treatments as compare with T1. High density lipoprotein (HDL) increased significantly of treatment T5. No significant effect was found for all groups in total protein , albumin, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), GOT, GPT and Uric acid. The study confirmed that supplementing the cupric sulfate and garlic powder lead to positive effects on some physiological performance of birds | ||
