Effect of Two Treatments with Garlic Powder on Final Body Weight, Carcass Weight, and Internal Organs in Broiler Chicks

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 control 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%.
