Evaluation of adding commercial compound Mixoil to drinking water on the productive performance of broilers during summer in Iraq

The current study was conducted on the Tigris River in the distance between Qayyarah district of Nineveh province and Baiji district of Salahuddin province by five stations (Al-Gayyarah, Jisr Al-Shirgat, Asdeira, Al-Zuwia and Almsahag). Anatomical Characteristics of Nile flower Eichhornia crassipes were studied. Some qualitative properties of river water were studied. The results indicated that there were significant differences between the study stations in all anatomical characteristics of the plant, Significant differences were found in the different study stations in all the characteristics of the upper and lower skin of the leaves of the Nile flower plants, it is the dimensions of stomata and its index and the average dimensions of the cells of the upper and lower skin. For the stems of the Nile flower plants, anatomical characteristics showed significant differences with different study stations. Al- Mosahak station achieved the highest stomatal dimensions of 15 and 13 μm for length and width respectively. Al-Gayyarah station excelled in the highest averages of the stomata index and average length × width of normal cells with values of 14 and 32 × 15 μm respectively. The highest mean of the physical characteristics of the river water was 1407 mg / L of total dissolved solids at the Al-Zuwia station in December, 8.4 for pH at Al-Gayyarah and Jisr Al-Shirgat stations during January, and 1.4 mg / L for BOD5 in Al-Gayyarah station during March, 2.3 mg / L for total hardness at Asdira station in February, 1.02 mg / L of nitrate at Almsahag station in December, 1.231 mg / L for sulfate at Al-Gayyarah station in January, 2.38 mg / L for sodium at Al-Zauwia station in December, and 1.2 mg / L for potassium at Almsahag station in March.

“…It is noted from Table (7) that there are no significant differences between the different replacement treatments compared with the comparison treatment T1 at the first age stage from 0-10 days, while it was noted that there was a significant superiority of the second treatment (P<0.05) in the rate of weight gain compared to the replacement treatments T3 , T4 and T7. As for the second age period (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), the seventh treatment, T7, recorded a significant decrease compared to the comparison treatment, T1, while the rest of the replacement treatments did not differ significantly from the comparison treatment, T1. As for the third age period (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) and the rate of cumulative increase, it was noted that there was a significant decrease for the treatment T4 and T7 compared to the comparison treatment T1.…”

“…Fermentation with kiwi improved the nutritional value of wheat, wheat bran and barley [9,19]. [20] indicated that the fermentation of the Nile flower leaf powder with beneficial bacteria led to an improvement in the nutritional value of the powder compared to the raw powder, as the use of the Nile flower powder with bread yeast and Iraqi probiotics by 12% led to an improvement in the productive characteristics of broilers Meat [21]. In view of the lack of studies on the replacement of fermented potato peel powder with kiwi juice and the probiotic, instead of yellow corn in broiler diets, the current study aims to:…”

This experiment was conducted in the chickens field of the Department of Animal Production - College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences - University of Baghdad, for the period from 25/2/2022 to 1/4/2022. To study the effect of partial substitution of fermented potato peeling powder instead of yellow corn in broiler food on productive performance, 231 (Ross 308) broiler chicks were used in the experiment, distributed randomly to seven treatments of 33 chicks/treatment, each treatment containing three replicates and each replicate containing 11 chicks, as the chicks were classified at the age of one day, as each reproduce included six males and five females, and the experimental treatments were as follows: The first treatment, T1: a comparison treatment containing yellow corn, at a rate of 48%, and the second treatment, T2, the third, T3, and the fourth, T4, in which fermented potato peels were replaced with kiwi juice At rates of 6, 12 and 18%, respectively, while the fifth treatment (T5), sixth (T6) and seventh (T7) included substituting fermented potato peels with the Iraqi probiotic, at rates of 6, 12 and 18%, respectively. Data were analyzed according to a completely randomized design (CRD). The features under study were recorded over three periods from 1 to 10 days begins phase, 11 to 24 days growth phase, and 25 to 35 days terminal phase according to the Ross 308 Production Manual. Data indicated There was a highly important decrease (P < 0.01) in treatment T4 and T7 compared to other treatments in average body weight, average weight gain, and food changed factor for different periods, while the replacement treatments of 6% and 12% fermented potato peelings with fortifier and kiwi juice did not differ significantly. with the comparison treatment. The treatments did not show significant differences in the amount of feed consumed in the different age stages of the study.

“…Also, the significant improvement in red blood cell values is mostly due to vitamin C activity in reducing heat stress on the bird, as vitamin C works to dissipate heat through the surrounding blood vessels to maintain a constant temperature [28]. Heat stress on birds also increases the blood sugar levels of stressed birds [24,29,30]. The high percentage of MCV in the current study is consistent with previous results [29,31], where it was found that adding vitamin C to diet or drinking water led to a significant increase in the value of HB and PCV, given that "MCV is the result of dividing hemoglobin by the number of red blood cells, leading to remarkable increase in their value.…”

This experiment was carried out in the poultry field in the Department of Animal Production, College of Agriculture / University of Kufa for the period 9/24/2023 to 10/28/2023 to study the effect of adding bladder dock (Rumex vesicarius) plant powder and vitamin C to the diet on the productive characteristics of broilers (Ross 308) exposed to heat stress. A 300 unsexed broiler chicks from the Ross308 cross were used, one day old, with an average weight of 42 gm/chick. The chicks were fed three diets from the age of (1-10) days, the second diet from the age of (11-24) days, and the third diet from the age of (25-35) days. The energy level of the three diets was 3010, 3081, and 3210 kcal/kg, respectively, and the protein level was 23.11, 21.51, and 19.58, respectively. One-day-old chicks were randomly distributed into 5 treatments, 60 chicks for each treatment with three replicates, 20 chicks for each replicate. The treatments were as follows: T1: control, standard diet, T2: standard diet with 5 g R. vesicarius plant powder/Kg diet, T3: standard diet with 10 g R. vesicarius powder/Kg diet, T4: standard diet with 300 mg vit. C/Kg diet, T5: standard diet supplemented with 150 mg vitamin C +5g R. vesicarius plant powder/Kg diet. The findings showed a significant improvement (P≤0.05) in the cholesterol concentration in the birds blood serum for the treatments (T5, T3, and T2 compared to the control treatment (T1). A significant improvement in red blood cell volume was detected in T3 and T4 treatments over the control treatment. A significant improvement was obtained in the rate of glomerular hemoglobin and the rate of circulating hemoglobin concentration for birds of all treatments compared to the control treatment. Blood content of GPX enzyme concentration was significantly (P≤0.05) increased in the T2 treatment compared to the control treatment. the results also found a significant improvement (P≤0.05) in the concentration levels of the MDA compound in all experimental treatments compared to the control treatment.
