The study was carried out at the Animal Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Kufa to investigate the effect of replacing water hyacinth meal (WHM) with wheat in the broiler diets. Starter diets (23.82% C. P and 3029.7kcal ME/ kg) feed were gave to the birds from week 1 to week 3 of age, and finisher diets which contained 20.94% C. P and 3204.5 kcal ME/kg were gave from week 4to week 6 of age. Three hundred one day old Ross 308 chicks were randomly divided into five groups with three replicate (20 bird /replicate) per group. Each group was subjected to the one of the following treatments (T1) 10% wheat without WHM, (T2) 7.5% wheat+2.5% WHM, (T3) 5.0% wheat + 5.0% WHM, (T4) 2.5% wheat +7.5% WHM, (T5) 0.0% wheat+10.0% WHM). Randomized completely Block Design (RCBD) was used. Live body weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion and mortality rate were measured to the 6 weeks of age , and for the slaughter weight , dressing percentage , weight percentage of carcass–cuts. Result showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) among treatments in weight gains at all periods. Treatment 2 showed the highest live body weight at 6 weeks of age; however, Tr.5 showed the lowest value. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in the rate of feed consumption among treatments during the different periods. Birds in Tr.5 consumed the highest amount of feed compared with control. Also, there was significant differences in feed efficiency among all treatment groups at all periods where, the highest value was found in (Tr.5), and the lowest value was recorded in (Tr.1). There was a significant differences in dressing percentage among treatments at (6) weeks of age, where (T2) was the highest value, compared with other treatments. Also, significant differences (P<0.05) in giblets weights and carcass-cuts percentages among treatments

Background and Objective: The search for safe and natural alternatives to reduce over-dependence on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters has led to the evaluation of the effects of natural feed additives, such as plants (phytobiotic), to use in animal nutrition. Moringa oleifera leaf meal is a valuable alternative to promote growth and carcass yield in poultry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf as feed additive in terms of growth performance, feed consumption and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. Methodology: The present study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five dietary treatment groups (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0% Moringa oleifera leaf meal) and three replicates per treatment (15 birds/pen). A total of 225 day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were included in the experiment for a 42-day period. The measured traits were body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass weight, dressing percentage, total edible parts and European production efficiency factor (EPEF indexes). Results: Significant improvements (p#0.05) in final body weight, total body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, growth ratio, carcass weight, dressing percentage, total edible parts and EPEF indexes were noted, whereas feed intake was not significantly altered by Moringa oleifera leaf meal treatments compared with the control. Conclusion: A diet supplemented with Moringa oleifera leaf meal was the best natural feed additive for production enhancement and better carcass quality in broiler chicks.

ABSTRACT : This experiment was conducted in 16/3 / 2016 to 21/ 4 / 2016. The location was doing in research Hall at animal Resources department , college of Agricultural university of kufa, associated with the Humanisistic Scientific College, Department of Medical Laborites Sciences / laboratory of Histology and Anatomy. The design was RCBD with 2 replication, Broiler bird from Ross type (380) one day age were used and divided into 5 group. Each group contain 26 bird, the treatment were 5 as the following : 1- Group (T1) control treatment in which given normal diet without any amount of Pleurouts ostreatus mixed with Barley. 2- Group (T2) which were given 25%. Of mixed Barely/ in chick diet daily. 3- Group (T3) which were given 50% of mixed Barely/ in chick diet daily. 4- Group (T4) which were given 75% of mixed Barely in chick diet daily. 5-Group (T5) which were given 100% of mixed Barely in chick diet daily. The treatment started at the beginning of one day for 5 week at the end of experiment. Take sample of blood from each bird to analysis at end of 5 week to known the level of immunity (H.I. test) show that the group T5 gave high result in compression to other treatment at level P<0.05 (691). The weight of Buras fabricius is differ, it show high weight at group T4 =2.97 g. Group T1=2.95g, T2=2.88 the less weight at T3=2.13, T5=2.17. The histological change of Bursa fabricius gland is different between the control group T1 and other group, depended upon the amount of mixed Barley which take it. The group T4 show the histological change was more effect and activity at the other groups, which give the chickens 75% from mixed barley.

Chicks were randomly distributed to four experimental treatments (3 replicates for each treatment and 10 chicks for each replicates) ,first treatment was a control while the three other treatments were contains 1, 2 and 3% of fermented wheat bran respectively. Results showed a significant effect (P≤0.05) of treatments on live body weight. The least value was in T3 namely 1820 gm while the highest live body weight was in T2 namely 1933 gm. Significant effect (P≤0.05) of treatment total feed conception which improved in 35 days of age in T2 and T4. The results also showed no significant effects of treatments no mortality rate, PCV and Hb rate in 35 day of age.

The study was carried out at the Animal Production Department Faculty of agriculture university of kufa to investigate the effect of replacing water hyacinth meal (WHM) with wheat in the broiler diets. The experiment was conducted at the poultry farm of the Animal Production Department, College of Agriculture, university of Kufa. Starter diets (23.82% C.P and 3029.7 kcal ME/kg) feed were gave to the birds from week 1 to week 3 of age, and finisher diets which contained 20.94% C.P. and 3204.5 kcal ME/kg were gave from week 4to week 6 of age. Three hundred one day old Ross 308 chicks were randomly divided into five groups with three replicate (20 bird /replicate)per group, Each group was subjected to the one of the following treatments (T1) 10% wheat without WHM,(T2)7.5%wheat +2.5% WHM, (T3) 5.0% wheat+5.0%WHM, (T4) 2.5% wheat+7.5%WHM,(T5)0.0%wheat+10.0%WHM).Using completely Randomized Design(CRD). There were significant differences(P<0.05) in body weight gain , feed consumption ,feed conversion ratio, growth rate, length and weight of gastro-intestinal gut, among treatments during 6wk age. But there were no significant differences in mortality percent, PER,EER. There were significant differences in dressing percentage and giblets weights and carcass-cuts percentages among treatments. Also increased account of benefits bacteria and decreased account of harmful bacteria and salmonella significantly (P≤0.05) in treatments with WHM compromise with control group. Our recommendation that the level of 5% WHM replacement by wheat gave excellent results.

The experiment was conducted in the poultry field belonging to the Department of Animal Production, College of Agriculture, University of Kufa to study the effect of using different levels of Safmannan as a Prebiotic in the productive and physiological performance for the broiler chickens.In the experiment, 300 broiler chicks were used with a day-age and the treatment was applied at a 7-day age for the unsexed chicks (Ross 308) breed, with the rate of 60 chicks per treatments and each treatment consisting of three replicates (20 birds per replicate).The treatments of the experiment were as follows: First treatment (control) without adding Safmannan to the diet.The second treatment: Adding Safmannan with the amount of (500 mg/kg feed). The third treatment: Adding Safmannan with the amount of (1000 mg/kg feed). The fourth treatment: Adding Safmannan with the amount of (1500 mg/kg feed). The fifth treatment: Adding Safmannan with the amount of (2000 mg/kg feed). The study included studying the physiological traits, which included the blood traits of cellular, the blood traits of biochemical and microbial, in addition to the percentage of dressing.The results showed that the addition of Safmannan led to a significant improvement in the relative weight of the internal eatable organs (heart and liver). There was no significant difference in the weight of the gizzard, in addition to the superiority of the treatments in which Safmannan was used in the number of white blood cells. There was a significant improvement in both the height and width of the villi and the increasing numbers of beneficial bacteria in the gut at the expensing the number of harmful bacteria for the treatments in which Prebiotic (Safmannan) was used, there was no significant difference in all carcass cuts. While the third treatment was excelled in the percentage of dressing on all the treatments of the experiment. The present experiment concludes that the addition of Safmannan in the diet can lead to the improvement of some physiological traits.

ABSTRACT : The study was conducted in the field of poultry of the Department of Livestock, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Kufa for the period. The purpose of the study was to test the effect of addition of the biomass of Pleurotus ostreatus fungus to the feed and its exudates to the drinking water, on the weights sectors ratios and Giblets weight (gm) of Broiler chicken. A total of 360 of Ross 308 broiler chicks withone day old, were randomly allocated into eight treatment groups chicks, in each treatment group were sub-divided into three replicates. The eight treatment groups were as follow : T1: the control treatment without any additives. T2: Additionof vegetative growth of P. ostreatus 25 g / kg feed. T3: Addition ofvegetative growth of P.ostreatus 50g / kg feed. T4: Addition of vegetative growth of P. ostreatus 100 g / kg feed. T5: Additon of exudates of P. ostreatus 25 ml / liter in drinking water. T6: Addition of exudates of P.ostreatus 50 ml / liter in drinking water. T7: Addition of exudates of P. ostreatus 100 P. ostreatus / liter in drinking water. T8: Addition of vegetative growth 50g/kg to feed and 50 ml/liter exudates of P.ostreatus in drinking water. The data showed the following results : There are significant differences between treatments in the weights of heart where recorded in treatments T7 and T8 (12.07 , 11.89) gm Respectively, there was no significant differences between treatments T6 and T5, as it amounted to an average weight of the heart (11.72 , 11.60) ) gm respectively , while the birds treatment T4 appears alower heart weight (11.08) gm. About the liver weight of the birds of the different treatments, it was recorded in T7, which gave the highest average liver weight (80.09) gm followed directly by T8 ,which had a average of liver weight of birds (75.24) gm. Also, gizzard weight had shown the results of analysis of variance outweigh the birds T7 (66.40) gm and T8 (65.51) gm in all experimental treatments. The results of statistical analysis had shown with respect to the secondary carcass cut (back, neck and wings) no significant differences between the mean ratios of the back, neck and weight in all of the treatment. Also the addition of the vegetative and exudates of P. ostreatus fungus were affected significantly with differences among the treatments ,which appeared that T1 and T2 in the number of aerobic bacteria, which recorded 5.21, 5.19 CFU/g respectively, while the number of Cliform reached 4.49,4.44 CFU / g for T1 and T2, respectively

A total of 425 one day old, unsexed, Hubbard classic broiler chicks strain were reared on floor for 6 weeks (WK) to evaluate the efficacy of different supplements to reduce body temperature (Tb) of heat-stressed broiler chickens. Birds were given water and diet ad libitum. At 21 day of age, 375 birds were almost equal weights chosen, randomly divided into 5 groups, 3 replicates of 25 birds each. Treatment groups were; without supplementation (T1,control), supplementation 400 (T2) and 550 (T3) mg betaine / liter drinking water (DK), mixture of KCl, NaHCO3,vitamin C and salicylic acid by 450, 450, 50 and 50 mg / liter DK respectively (T4) and 150 mg vitamin C / liter DK (T5). Temperature and relative humidity were recorded in 600, 1400, 1800 and 2400 hours daily. Birds were received 24 hours light a day, also all routine management and medications were applied. Results revealed that in most treatment groups, Tb was significantly (P < 0.01) increased in hot period of the day (1400h and 1800h) in comparison with moderate period (600h and 2400h) and the difference was higher in control treatment1 group (T1) at 4, 5, 6 WK of age and their average. A significant (P < 0.05) decrease was found in Tb of T5 in comparison with T1 during all times of the day, whereas occurred only during hot period (1400h and 1800h) in T2, T3 and T4 at 4, 5, 6 WK of age and their average. The average of Tb of all treatment groups for 4, 5, and 2 WK of age illustrated a significant decrease in moderate (P < 0.05) and hot periods of the day (P < 0.01) in comparison with T1, in addition to temperature difference was greater in hot period than moderate period. It can be concluded that all supplements used in this trial, expressed their efficacy in reducing Tb of heat-stressed birds, in particular during hot period of the day, however vitamin C was the most potent.

The experiment was conducted at poultry farm, animal resources dept. college of agriculture, the university of Kufa during April, 6, 2010- May, 7, 2010, aimed to knowledge pattern of water intake during entire day of 4, 5, and 6 weeks of age for broiler chickens have being got betaine with drinking water. Five hundred and forty , day old of unsexed Hubbard Classic broiler chickens were reared on litter for two stages: the first was extended 1-21 day old with no treatment, whereas the second stage was extended 22-42 day old. Birds were randomly allocated into 6 treatment groups ( 3 replicates each, 30 birds per replicate) as follows; T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 which mean 0, 250, 400, 550, 700, and 800 mg betaine / L drinking water respectively. Results revealed no significant differences between treatment groups in water intake during moderate period (1and 4) of day for 4 and 6 weeks of age. A significant superiority in water intake was noticed in T2, T4, T5 and T6 in comparison with T1 (control) on 5 week of age during same two periods (1 and 4) of the day. Water intake pattern has been in harmony with house temperature profile, that can be seen through coincidence water intake and house temperature peaks in 4,5, and 6 weeks of age. In general, betaine treatment groups surpassed control group in water intake during hot period (2 and 3) of the day.

This study was conducted at the poultry farm, Department of Animal Resource, College of Agriculture University of KUFA The period from 15th of November to 27th December 2010. The experiment aimed to investigate the effect of deferent types of oils on some productive and physiological traits of broilers chicken through the period of study. Three hundred and twenty unsexed one day old chick (Ross 308) average weight 40g/chick. The chicks were reared on aground and feeding one diet.
