| Abstract | ||
| The study goal was to find out how hens fed Arabic gum (AG) powder affected performance and blood chemistry of breed chicken. The experiment included one hundred and eighty AL-SALAM local chicken breed14 days old. The criteria for response were average weight increase, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, dressing %, non-carcass component (heart, gizzard, and liver), and chemical analysis of blood serum parameters were applied as a standard for responding. Results showed that the group fed 5% (AG) as an addition increased daily gain, live weight (1710 gm), decreased feed intake (3320 gm), feed conversion ratio, carcass traits at the end experimental, those results were increased highly significant (P≤ 0.05) compared to the control group that received a control diet without (AG). There were no notable variations in the blood analysis results (P≤ 0.05) at the conclusion of the trial period, the economic efficiency of each group was determined. Significant Arabic Gum addition to the control diet (P≤ 0.05) improved the general performance of chicks. It could be concluded that the feed supplemented with 5% (AG) lead to lowest value of feed consumption and obtained the highest performance and total profit. | ||
