| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary supplementation with garlic powder on some productive and physiological traits of of ISA-Brown strain hens. A total of 45 hens had been used. At age of 52 weeks birds were reared in individual cages and distributed into three treatments as follow: Control group (T1) without garlic powder supplementation to diet, supplementation of garlic powder at level of 2 kg / ton feed (T2), and supplementation of garlic powder at level of 4 kg / ton feed (T3). The traits of body weight, egg production (H.D.) egg weight, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and egg mass have been studied each two weeks. However, at the end of experiment egg cholesterol, total Red Cells Count (RBC), total White Cells Count (WBC), Packed Cell Volume (PCV%), Blood Hemoglobin (Hb), H / L ratio, total protein and uric acid had been studied. The results revealed that there were No significant differences (P<0.05) in body weight, egg production (H.D.) egg weight, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and egg mass. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in total Red blood cells count (RBC) , Total white blood cells count (WBC), heterophils / Lymphocytes (H/L) ratio compared with the control group . However, significant increase(P<0.05) in hemoglobin concentration (Hb), the percent of blood packed cells volume (PCV%).on T2and T3 However, significant decrease (P<0.05) in cholesterol concentration of yolk egg was observed. On T2 (2 % /garlic powder) surpass T2 (4 % / garlic powder), | ||
