| Abstract | ||
| The aim of this study was to detect effect of added dates (Al-Zahdi) on broiler chicken dietary. We used forty chicks of broilers on one day old, which divided into four groups (control, G1, G2 and G3). Chicken were fed for 30 days on Al-Zahdi dates mixed with natural diets of broiler chicken in concentrations of (5%, 10%, and 15%). The body weight was measured for each group every week of experiment and blood samples were collected to evaluate some chemical parameters (glucose, total protein, GOT, GPT and lipid profile). A significant increase in total protein (P> 0.05) was observed in G1 and G2 as compared with the control group and G3. A significant decrease (P> 0.05) in GPT was also found in G1, G2, and G3 as compared with the control group. The results of the lipid profile indicated no significant increase (P> 0.05) in cholesterol levels for G1, G2, and G3. In terms of body weight, a significant increase (P< 0.05) was observed in G1 and G2 as compared with G3 and control during the fourth week of the experiment. | ||
