Effect of using two concentrations of BEDGEN 40 in drinking water at different periods on some productive characteristics in broilers

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the poultry field of the Department of Animal Production - College of Agriculture / University of Kirkuk, for a period of 42 days. To study the effect of using two different concentrations of Bedgen 40 at two periods for broilers and their effect on some productive traits. In this study used 280 unsexed one-day-old chicks (Ross 308) were used with an average initial weight of 42 g. The chicks were randomly distributed to 7 treatments with 4 replicates for each treatment, and each replicate contains 10 birds. The experiment parameters were as follows: T1 as the control treatment without any addition, while Bedgen 40 was added in the T2 and T3 treated drinking water at levels of 35 and 45 cc/ liter at the age of 6-10 days, The addition of Bedgen 40 in the treated drinking water T4 and T5 at levels of 35 and 45 cc/ liter at the age of 21-25 days, The addition of Bedgen 40 in the treated drinking water T6 and T7 at levels of 35 and 45 cc/ liter at the age of 31-35 days, The results showed that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) between the treatments adding Bedgen 40 over the control treatment in the final live body weight. The results showed an increase in live body weight and an increase in weight for two treatments T3, T2 in the third week, and significant superiority for each of the treatments T5, T4, T3, T2 in the fifth week And the superiority of all the addition treatments in the base week, and we note the superiority of two treatments T3, T4 in the rate of feed consumption in the third week, The results also showed a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the feed conversion ratio at the fifth and sixth weeks, As well as for the final or total conversion factor for coefficients T5, T4, T3, T2 compared to the control treatment.
