Effect of Supplementing propolis (Bee Glue) and Frankincense (Olibanum) Combinations to Diets on Productive Characteristics of Broiler.

Abstract

The research was carried out to investigate the effect of adding propolis and Frankincense in individually on the form of individually to diets, in the productive performance to broiler chicken. Used the study of 480) chicks unsexed one-day-old Rose308 at the average of 42.3 gram . These chicks were distributed randomly into ten treatments (48 chicks/treatment) with three replicates for each treatment (16 chicks/ replicate). The treatments were as follows: T1 is given diet without addition (control), T2 ,T3 and T4 included addition propolis at the levels 600,800 and1000) mg/kg diet respectively , T5,T6 and T7 included addition Frankincense at the levels 1200,1600 and 2000 mg/kg diet respectively,T8,T9 andT10 included addition (propolis+ Frankincense) at the levels 300+600, )400+800, ) 500+ 1000) mg/kg diet respectively. The results of this study showed significant improvement (p<0.01) in most treatments addition propolis and Frankincense individually on the form of solidarity to in the productive characteristics, T4 significant improvement (p<0.01) included addition propolis at the level (1000) mg/kg diet with other treatments in average body weight and weight gain Followed by treatment T7,T3 and T10 . Treatment T4 showed significant improvement (p<0.01) in the feed consumption average Followed by treatment T3, T10 and T7 compared with control. Regarding feed conversion efficiency significant improvement (p<0.01) treatments T4, T7 and T3 as compare with other treatments. The results of the experiment showed significant improvement (p<0.01) in the scale productive index for the treatment T4, T3, T2 and T7 as compared with other treatments.
