A study on the Effect of Liquid Optical Enhancers (Garlimmune), Baseline Enhancer, and Local Hawthorn Leaves on the Physiological Characteristics of Broiler Blood Chickens (ross-308)

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study, which took place at a KYSAR Company poultry farm in the city of Erbil, was to compare the effects of supplementing ROSS-308 broilers with either a single dose of hawthorn tree leaf powder or a mixture of hawthorn tree leaf powder and a different type of photobiotic liquid. A total of 144 day-old, gender-neutral broilers were randomly assigned to one of six treatments, each with three replicate pens (11) containing eight birds. Ad libitum feeding was used, and fresh water was always within reach. The chicks had a mean life weight of 40 grams. The nutritional therapies were as detailed below. T1: a basic diet (Control I diet), T2: a basic diet supplemented with 0.025% of Powder Hawthom tree leaves, T3: a basic diet supplemented with 0.50 % of Powder Hawthom tree leaves, and T4: a basic diet supplemented with 0.50 % of the liquid Garlimmune used to treat warts, given as 0.50 ml per 100 ml of drinking water for 7 days throughout the growth phase. T5: Powder Hawthom tree leaf and drinking Wart 0.25% of the base diet T6: The base food supplemented with 0.50% Powder Hawthom tree leaves, and the drinking Wart included liquid Garlimmune at a concentration of 0.50 milligrams per 100 milliliters for seven days during the growth phase. In a statistical comparison between birds given 1, 2, and 3 treatments and those given 4, 5, and 6, the latter showed a statistically significant improvement in live body weight at 35 days (p 0.05). However, there was a notable improvement in this feature among the birds exposed to Treatments 2 and 3. Gain weight over 1-35 days was substantially (p 0.05) better for the birds in treatments 5 and 6, and it was significantly (p 0.05) better for the birds in treatments 4 and 6 compared to the birds in treatments 1, 2, and 3. Those fed the smallest amount of food had a far higher feed conversion ratio than the birds in treatments 1, 2, 3, and 4. Carcass weight was substantially (p.05) higher for the 6 treated birds compared to the other treatments. The birds given the 6 treatment had significantly (p.05) more thigh meat than those given the 1, 2, or 3 treatments, while the birds given the 5 and 6 treatments had significantly (p.05) more breast meat than those given the 1 or 2 treatments. When compared to control treatment birds, birds given the sixth treatment had significantly (p.05) heavier hearts, gizzards, and livers on average.
