| description | The present study aimed at investigating the effects of sumac and dried whey
powder on growth performance, carcass traits, intestinal morphology,
microbial population, and some biochemical parameters and antibody titer
against Newcastle disease of female broiler chicks. A total of 360 1-day-old
female broiler chicks with an average weight of 38 ± 0.42 g were
randomly divided into three treatments. Each treatment was further divided
into six replicates. Three treatments were used: chicks were fed by basal
diet as control group, basal diet + 0.02% sumac powder (S), and basal
diet + 0.02% dried whey powder (DW) for 42 days. Results showed that
feed intake of chicks increased significantly in S and DW in comparison with
the control group (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Body weight gain was also significantly
higher in the treated groups. The serum concentration triglyceride and
cholesterol of chicks decreased significantly by S and DW feeding. While low-density lipoprotein
(LDL) level decreased significantly, high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) levels increased in the S group. Antibody
level increased titer against Newcastle disease significantly by feeding
treated diet compared to the control group. Data from microbial population
investigation showed that <i>E. coli</i>
population decreased while <i>Lactobacillus</i>
increased in S and DW groups. The data revealed an improvement in the body
weight gain, feed conversion ratio because of increased intestinal
morphology, antibody level, and some useful microbial population in female
broiler chicks receiving the sumac and dried whey powder. |
