| Abstract | ||
| A total number of 196 one-day-old Hubbard unsexed broiler chicks were used in seven experimental treatments according to the body weight with four replicates/ each to determine the effect of dietary different levels of anise oil (AO), anise seeds power (ASP) and their mixture from 1 to 35 d of age and during the last week Turmeric was supplemented to the diet on productive performance and economic efficiency. The diet contained gradually levels of anise oil (45 and 90 mg /kg diet), anise seeds (1, and 2 g /kg diet)and their mixture (22.5 mg AO + 0.05g ASP and 45 mg AO + 1 g ASP/kg diet) then during the last week Turmeric was supplemented with 1g/kg diet. Results obtained clearly observed that the diet supplemented with 45 mg AO / kg diet gave significantly higher final body weight and produced the highest weight gain compared to control diet. It is clearly observed that all treatments did not differ from control group in the average feed conversion ratio during the most periods of the experiment. No significant differences on the most studied serum biochemical parameters. The carcass % was significantly increased by using the two levels of AO (45 and 90 mg / kg diet) compared to the control diet. It can be conclude that anise oil, anise seeds or their mixture in broiler diets can be used as a dietary supplementation in diets of broiler chickens to improve the productive performance. | ||
