| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted at the poultry farm, department of Animal Resources, College of Agriculture /University of Al-Qasim Green. The field work of study was performed during the period from 20/2/2014 until 2/4/2014 and then followed by the laboratory work. The project of this study was aimed to identify the effect of utilization of betaine and choline and their synergistic mixture to meet the deficiency of methionine which could happen on the diets effect in biochemistry of broiler chickens blood . Three hundred unsexed broiler chickens strain of the commercial Rose (Rose-308) was used in this experiment. The chicks were reared on a letters floor and treated from the age of one day until 42 days. The chicks were randomly housed into 5 treatments and by 4 replicates per treatment, and each replicate was included 15 chicks , the treatment as the following: 1. (T1): positive control, which contain methionine as recommended by Avigan Company. 2. (T2): negative control, which contain half the requirements of methionine as recommended by Avigan Company. 3. (T3): T2 and betaine (800mg/kg feed). 4. (T4): T2 and choline (800mg/kg feed). 5. (T5): T2, betaine (400mg/kg feed), and choline (400mg/kg feed). The most important results of this study could be summarized by the following: 1. Significant elevation (P< 0.05) in glucose concentration was observed for T2 treatment birds compared with T1 and T3 treatments. Whereas no significant differences were observed among T1, T3, T4, and T5 treatments. 2. Significant reduction in the blood cholesterol concentration for T3 and T4 treatments were observed compared with T2 treatment. Whereas no significant differences were observed among T1, T3, T4, and T5 treatments and among T1, T2, and T5 treatments as well. 3. Significant elevation (P< 0.05) in the total protein concentration and a significant reduction (P< 0.05) in uric acid concentration was taken place in both T1 and T3 treatments birds compared with T2 treatment. Whereas there were no significant differences noticed among T2, T4, and T5 treatments. | ||
