| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted in the poultry field of the Department of Animal Production at the College of Agriculture, University of Kirkuk, the experiment aimed to study the effect of the fodder addition of Moringa oleifera leaf powder and probiotics on the productive characteristics of broilers. 288 chicks of 308 Ross broilers (unsexed) were bred. At the age of one day and for a period of 42 days, the average weight was 41.9 g per chick, where the chicks were randomly distributed into 6 treatments and 4 replicates per treatment (12 birds/repeat) and the experimental treatments were as follows: - The first treatment: T1 control treatment, the second treatment T2: control diet + add probiotic at a concentration of 3 g/kg feed, the third treatment T3: the addition of Moringa oleifera leaf powder at a concentration of 2.5 g/kg feed, the fourth treatment T4: the addition of Moringa oleifera leaf powder at a concentration of 5 g/kg feed, the fifth treatment T5: the addition of Moringa oleifera leaf powder at a concentration of 2.5 g/kg feed + add probiotic at a concentration of 3 g/kg feed and the sixth treatment T6: Add Moringa oleifera leaf powder at a concentration of 5 g/kg feed + add probiotic at a concentration of 3 g/kg feed. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significant superiority (P≤0.05) in favor of the fifth treatment over the rest of the treatments in the average live body weight, the total weight gain rate, the total feed consumption rate, and a significant decrease for the sixth treatment compared to the rest of the treatments in the live body weight rate and the weight gain rate. The consumption of total feed significantly in the fourth and sixth treatment compared to the rest of the treatments, and a significant improvement was noted in the feed conversion factor in the fourth treatment compared to the rest of the treatments in the sixth week, and there was a significant superiority in favor of the third treatment over the rest of the treatments in the total feed conversion coefficient, and a significant improvement was noted In the total fodder conversion factor in the fourth and fifth treatment compared to the rest of the treatments, and the fifth treatment recorded the best productivity index compared to the rest of the treatments, while the productivity index decreased significantly in the third and sixth treatment compared to the rest of the treatments. We conclude from this study that the use of 2.5 g/kg feed of Moringa oleifera leaf powder with probiotic in broiler diets led to an improvement in the productive characteristics and economic index of broiler | ||
