EFFECT OF UNCONVENTIONAL PEREMIX ON THE PRODUCTIVE, MICROBIAL AND HISTOLOGICAL TRAITS OF BROILER
...Show More Authors

This study examined the effect of replacing local feed mixture with protein concentrate in broiler feed on production, histological, and microbial characteristics. The study was conducted on 200 one-day-old broiler chicks of Ross 308, randomly divided into four treatments, 50 chicks per treatment, with five replicates and 10 chicks per replicate. The control treatment (T1) was fed 5% protein concentrate, while the protein concentrate in the other treatments (T4, T3, T2) was replaced with protein concentrate in varying proportions (2%, 2.5%, 3%). The feed mixture contains several components, including the carrier materials, which are potato peels at a rate of 33%, and active materials, which are a group of amino acids represented by (methionine, lysine and threonine) and a group of herbs represented by (turmeric, cumin, anise, coriander, cinnamon) in addition to a biological enzyme, a biological antitoxin and probiotic in addition to a mixture of vitamins, minerals and oil. The results showed no significant differences in body weight, feed consumption, weight gain, or feed conversion ratio at the age of (0-39 days). As for the fourth treatment, it led to a significant decrease in the number of bacteria and an increase in villi length. The study concluded that it is possible to replace 3% local feed with 5% imported protein concentrate without negative effects on broiler chickens.
