This research was carried out using a total of 60 one-day old chicks from
hybrid broiler (Hubbard). Opened house system was used for rearing on floor
pens. The chicks divided randomly into three equal groups. The first group
considered as a contro
l which was fed on a ration without supplementation of
Garlic Powder (0.0%). while the second and third were fed on a ration
supplemented with Garlic Powder by (0.5%) & (1%) respectively. All
treatments were applied beginning from one-day chicks old up to sixth week of
age. The results showed that the supplementation of Garlic Powder (0.5%) and
(1%) led to improve broiler performance: significantly increase (P<0.05) was
noticed in final live body weight 5.12 % and 3.54%; weight gain 5.26 % and
3.62% respectively comparing with control, improve feed efficiency 7.57% and
8.86%, decrease feed consumption 2.69% and 5.54%.
An experiment was carried out using 120 unsexed chicks of a
commercial broiler breed taken from a hatchery nearby the farm of
the experiment. When the chicks started to hatch the chicks were
collected without the need to complete the operation of
hatching to
ensure that the hatching chicks were hatched at the same time.
The chicks were distributed into four groups of each group divid into 6
sub groups each sub group contains 5 chicks. The chicks were fed
different diets.
A digestibility experiment was carried out using 105 unsexed chicks of a
commercial broiler breed taken from a hatchery nearby the farm of the
experiment. When the chicks started to hatch, the chicks were collected
without need to complete the operation of hatching to ensure that the
hatching chicks were hatched at the same time.
