Effect of Adding Different Concentrations of Alcohol Extracted Ginger as Feed Supplementation on Some Productive Traits of Broiler Chicken Ross Strain

This study was conducted in the poultry field that belong to Animal Production Techniques Department / Al musiab Technical College. To investigate the effect of alcohol extracted ginger supplementation in diet on some productive traits of broiler chicken ross strain. Two hundred fifty unsexed broiler chicks were equally divided into the five groups, 50 chicks per group, 2 replicates per group (25 chicks per replicate). Chicks were fed on starter diet (1 day3 week) and final diet (4-6 week), diets supplemented with five ratio from alcohol extracted ginger (0, 150, 200, 250, 300 mg/kg), the first group was control but the other represented experimental groups. Results showed a significantly improve (P≤0.05) of average live body weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio and dressing percentage in birds supplemented with alcohol extracted ginger as compared with control group at three and six week of birds age. As supplementation of alcohol extracted ginger had significantly (P≤0.05) decreased feed consumption and mortality ratio in experimental groups as compared with control group. It can be concluded that supplementation of alcohol extracted ginger to diet had a positive effect to enhance productive traits of broiler chicken ross strain.
