Effect of Adding Different Levels of Dried Olive Pomace to the Diet on some Blood Traits of Broilers

Abstract

This experiment was conducted at the poultry field, Agricultural Research and Experiment Station, College of Agriculture, Al-Muthanna University, from 21 February 2022 to 26 March 2022. A total of 180 unsexed, 1 day old, Ross 308 broiler chicks were used, chicks were randomly distributed to four experimental treatments, 45 chicks for each treatment with three replicates of the treatment (15 chicks/replicate) for 35 days, the treatments were as follows: T1: Control treatment; T2: Add 1.5% dry olive pomace to the diet; T3: Add 3% dry olive pomace to the diet; T4: Add 4.5% dry olive pomace to the diet. The results indicate that there were significant improvement in all olive-pomace treatments compared to the control treatment on the blood traits (LDL, HDL, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides) of broilers blood.
