| Abstract | ||
| The effect of adding powdered local Anemone coronaria L. flowers and vitamin C on the productive performance of laying hens raised in the summer and exposed to heat stress was studied. The experiment was completed using (120) Lohmann Brown birds at (30) weeks old, during July, August, and September, for a period of (84) days, which included a 14-day preparatory period. The experiment period was divided into (5) productive periods, where the birds were randomly distributed into (6) treatments with (5) replicates, and for each replicate (4) birds, where the treatment was T1: a control Diet-free of any additives, T2: a control diet with vitamin C added. At a rate of 250 mg/kg of feed, T3: a control diet to which Anemone coronaria L. flower powder is added. At a rate of 2 g/kg of feed, T4: a control diet to which Anemone coronaria L. flower powder is added, at a rate of 4 g/kg of feed, T5: a control diet with the addition of Anemone coronaria L. flower powder at a rate of 2 g/kg feed and Vitamin C at a rate of 250 mg/kg feed, T6: a control diet with the addition of Anemone coronaria L. flower powder at a rate of 4 g/kg feed and Vitamin C at a rate of 250 mg/ kg of feed. The results of the field experiment showed that there were significant differences in the general average of productive periods at the level (P≤0.05) in all the studied traits. Treatment T6 recorded the highest percentage of egg production, and the highest average egg weight in treatments T5 and T3 respectively, and the highest average egg mass was in treatment T6, and the highest rate of feed consumption was in treatment T2, the best food conversion factor was in the treatments T5 and T6 respectively. The control treatment T1 witnessed the highest mortality rate with a decrease in the average live weight of birds. It is noted from the results of the experiment that the additions of Anemone coronaria L. flower powder and vitamin C led to A reducing the effects of heat stress that affects birds when exposed to high temperatures in summer, and thus the positive effect was clear in improving the productive performance and health of the birds. | ||
