| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was carried out at poultry house, college of Veterinary Medicine, Baghdad university, Which lasted 42 days, to by adding Thymus vulgaris the used part (Leaves, Steams and Flowers) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum the used part (bark) to the concentrate diet for the experimental period for 6 weeks. The study was aimed to find out the effect of thyme or cinnamon on productive, physiological blood traits of broilers by using 150 unsexing Arbor Acres chicks at the age of one day. These chicks were randomly divided into five group equally (30 chicks each). Each group was subdivided into two equal subgroup. And fed on the following ration. 1-The first group was fed on ordinary diet kept as a control group. 2- The second group was fed on the same ration by adding 0.5% of thyme. 3- The third group was fed on the same ration by adding 1% of thyme. 4- The fourth group was fed on the same ration by adding 0.5% of cinnamon. 5- The fifth group was fed on the same ration by adding 1% of cinnamon. The feeding period for all groups lasted 42 days, the results revealed that There is an improving in performance traits for all treated groups compared with control group. However, the chicks fed 0.5% thyme should better in weekly gain period feed conversion efficiency than those fed 1% thyme. In the mean time the chicks fed 1% cinnamon should significantly higher in weekly gain and fed conversion efficiency then those fed 0.5% cinnamon. However, by adding thyme or cinnamon to diet cause an improving in blood traits compared with the control group. The best improving in white blood cell, were obtained in the chicks fed 1% cinnamon and they should significantly low better stress coefficient. | ||
