Productive Response for Adding Copper Nanoparticles Synthesized by Green Method to Broiler Chickens Diet

Abstract

The technology of green synthesis of nano-metals is promising, as it produces environmentally friendly nano-metals in larger quantities and can be used at low levels in broiler diets, which reduces the amount excreted in the bedding and thus reduces environmental pollution. This experiment was conducted on the farm of Al-Anwar Poultry Company in Babil Governorate for 35 days from 28/11/2022 until 2/1/2023, To study the response physiological and production response to adding copper nanoparticles and copper nanoparticles loaded on papaya plants to the diet of broiler chickens was studied under conditions Ordinary. Three hundred sixty unsexed Ross-308 broiler chickens were used. The experimental treatments included (0, 8, and 16 mg/kg feed of copper nanoparticles, 8 and 16 mg/kg feed of copper nanoparticles loaded on papaya plants and 10 mg/kg feed Papaya fed for treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6), respectively. In this study, we reached the following results: There was a significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) for T4 treatment in live body weight, a significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) for the T1 treatment in total weight gain, meanwhile a significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) for the T2 and T4 treatments in feed consumption compared other treatments, at the same time significant improvement (p ≤ 0.05) for the T5 treatment in feed conversation ratio.
