Effect of black bean and thyme to the broiler diets (low-energy) on some productivity indicators at broiler chickens


Abstract in English

This research carried out in the Video Center for Research on Animal Production of the Faculty of Agriculture at Tishreen University with the beginning of the summer of 2010 in order to study the possibility of improving the performance of broiler chickens under the conditions of the coastal area and increase economic returns. Search Results showed that the addition of black bean and thyme powder by 0.5% to a low-energy diet led to increased average live weight of age (9-28) days totaled 864.9 g G3)) compared to the control (without the addition), which amounted to an average live weight has 850.7) g) of the same age FCR feed conversion ratio stood at 2.63 at the group G1, compared with 1.89 when the Control CSearch results also showed that the addition of 0.25% of the black bean and thyme powder led to the live weight increase of 848.6, compared with 670.7 members G1) g) FCR feed conversion ratio stood at 1.96 at the G4 Group added (0.25% of the black bean powder and thyme), compared with 2.63 at the G1 group.
