| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted in the Poultry Field of Animal Production Department / College of Agriculture / University of Anbar - in the alternative site (Abu Ghraib). This study lasted for 42 days. The experiment aimed to study the addition of propolis and frankincense and their mixture to the diet at levels of 0, 200, 400 and 600 mg / kg feed on the microbial traits of broiler. For this study (240) one day old unsexed broilers (ROSS 308) were used, with an average weight of 40 g. The chicks were distributed on ten treatments with three replicates per treatment (24 chicks /treatment). The total bacterial count and aerobic bacterial count were counted from chicken feces. The results of this study showed a decrease in the number of total air bacteria and the count of the colon bacteria under study by increasing the levels of propolis, frankincense and their mixture compared to control treatment. The study also showed the inhibitory effect on the count of colon bacteria and the count of air bacteria as affected by using different levels of propolis compared to frankincense and the combination between them. | ||
