Abstract
This study was carried out at the poultry farm of College of Veterinary Medicine University of Fallujah during the period from 28/11 /2010 to 19/2/2011. The experiment aimed to study the effect of the supplementation of the laying hens ration with different levels of Anias and Ginger powder on productive performance of laying hens. A total of 105 hen shiefers breed at 56 week old, the egg production ratio 73% (H.D.). Birds were randomly divided in to five treated groups of 21 hen each. Treatment group was constituted of three replicates with 7 hens each. Treated group was treated as follow: Control group (T1): basic diet without any supplementation. (T2) and (T3): represent the supplementation of Anias powder to the birds diet at levels of 0.5 and 1.0% of diet respectively, and (T4) and (T5): represent the supplementation of Ginger powder to the birds diet at levels of 0.5 and 1.0% of diet respectively. Traits included in this experiment were: egg production, egg weight, feed consumption, egg mass and feed conversion coefficient. Results showed that the addition of different levels of anise to the laying hens diet resulted in a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the total means of egg production, egg weight, feed consumption, egg mass and feed conversion coefficient as compared with the control treatment. The results also showed that the addition of ginger to the laying hens diet at levels of 0.5 and 1.0% from diet a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the total means egg production, egg mass and feed conversion coefficient, while the significant improvement (p<0.05) for the egg weight only for the treatment add ginger at level 1.0% to the diet as compared with the control, and at the same time observed a significant decrease (p<0.05) of the amount of feed consumed for treated group of ginger to the diet as compared with the control treatment. The results also showed that the addition of anise at level 1.0% to the diet resulted in a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the total means of egg production, egg weight, egg mass and feed consumption and a significant decrease (p<0.05) in feed conversion coefficient compared with the treatments of addition of ginger to the diet. It was concluded that the addition of anise and ginger powder as feed additives to the ration, a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the productive performance of laying hens in advanced age
