Effect of Dietary Supplemental Ginger on Broiler Performance, Carcass Characteristics and Blood Profile
A study using one hundred unsexed day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308), 25 birds/treatment was conducted to evaluate the effect of ginger powder as natural feed additives on the growth performance, carcass traits and blood parameters of broiler chickens.

| description | A study using one hundred unsexed day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308), 25 birds/treatment was conducted to evaluate the effect of ginger powder as natural feed additives on the growth performance, carcass traits and blood parameters of broiler chickens. Four dietary treatments were formulated to meet the nutrient requirements of broiler chicks containing ginger powder at levels 0%, 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6%. The results showed that no significant differences were recorded in body weight and body weight gainbetween different experimental groups. Birds fed diets supplemented with ginger exhibited better feed conversion (P>0.05) and lower feed intake than control birds. The measurements of carcass traits, hematological values and serum biochemical parameters showed no marked variation between the treated groups. It could be concluded that ginger powder at the used levels in this experiment has not potential to be used as a growth promoter in broiler chicks. |
