Abstract
This experiment was aimed to study the effect of diet supplementation with probiotic (Iraqi probiotic) and prebiotic (A.niger) on some productive characteristics and Carcass Characteristics of broiler. A total of 225 Ross broiler chicks, 7 day old each, were randomly distributed into three treatment’s groups .Each treatment group subdivided into three replicates 25 for each. The treatment’s groups were as follows ,The first treatment group (T1) was used as control and fed on standard diet, the 2nd group (T2) supplemented with 10 gm/kg prebiotic (A.niger) and 3rd group (T3) supplemented with 3 gm/kg probiotic (Iraqi probiotic). The experiment continue until the 8th week. The result of this experiment showed the body weight were significantly increased (p<0.05) (2390.0, 2269.17 gm (for 2nd and third treatment compared with the control 1951.67 gm. Mortality rate and feed conversion ratio were significantly decreased for 2nd and third treatment compared with the control (p<0.05). and There was significant improvement in production index. Adding 10gm A.niger kg showed significant increase in feed consumption while there was no significant increase with 3 gm probiotic kg. no significant differences among treatment as dressing percentage with or without edible giblet and relative weights of neck, chest, back, thigh, wings and eatable internal organs (heart, liver and gizzard).
