| Abstract | ||
| The research Was conducted in the poultry farm . Technical college Al- Musaiyab to investigate the Effect of cumin oil addition to the diet on performance of Ross broiler chicks during the period 10th September until 21th October 2011. A total of 250 chicks ( Ross) one day old Were used in the experiment . chicks were randomly distributed in to 5 treatments (50 chicks per each treatment ) . represented by the first treatment (With out addition ) . mean while treatments 2-5 were fed on the control treatment with addition 0.5. 0.75. 1.0. and 1.25ml Cumin oil/ Kg feed respectively at 42 days . Results illustrated significant effect (p<0.05) of Cumin oil on mean body weights during marketing (42day) . body weight was increased by increasing the Cumin oil in treatments which contained 1 and 1.25 ml Cumin oiL / kg feed. body weights were 2227.50 and 2222.00gm respectively . at the same time the effect of the effect on accumulative weight gain ( 2984.50 and 2084.00 gm/bird). while there was no significant effect of the treatment on the accumulative feed consumption. Feed conversion efficiency was significantly affected (p<0.05) by the treatments. treatment which included 1.25ml oil/kg the best feed efficiency (1.72gm feed/ gm weight gain) mean while in the control treatment was 1.88. Mortality rate was significantly reduced (p<0.05) with increased Cumin oil as compared with the control treatment. Treatment which included 1 and 1.25 ml oil / kg feed gave the best values concerning the dressing percentage ( 73.80 and 74.04% ) . Economical figure ( 301.33 and 307.58 ) . productive index ( 301.33 and 307.58 ) . The equal results of productive index and the economical figure were due to the absence of the mortalities in those two treatments. It was concluded that addition of cumin oil to the diet of Ross broiler chicks led to improvement of the productive performance with reduction of mortality rate and improvement of the economical income in broiler farms. | ||
