| Abstract | ||
| Targeted research study the effect of adding different concentration of ginger powder to broiler diet in the balance of gut microbial flora. Use 80 chick one - day old with average weight 42 gr. were divided into four transactions 20 chick /treatment with tow replicated 10 chick for each, the transactions were as follows: T1: Basic diet without any addition. T2: Basic diet + 1 %ginger powder. T3: Basic diet + 2 %ginger powder. T4: Basic diet + 1 gr. / Kg.diet of Oxytetracyclin. After the end of study period, which lasted 6 weeks, shows that there were significant (p≤0.05) decrease in total bacterial count in T2, T3 (13.050, , 12.997) in compared with T1, T4 (13.098, 13.062) and also show that there were significant (p≤0.05) decrease in the count of coli form bacteria of T2, T3 (8.924, 8.917) in compared with T1, T4 (9.921, 9.932) while the count of lactobacilli, T3 given highest value 5.151 then T2 (4.955) significantly (p≤0.05) while T1, T4 gave the lower value 4.123, 4.227. From this we can deduce that the addition of ginger powder in different concentration to diet helps to improve the bacterial flora of the broiler gut compared with oxytetracyclin. | ||
