| ABSTRACT:This study was conducted at the Animal Production Farm/State Board for Agricultural Research over the period from 21/3/2002 to 27/4/2002 .A total of 900 Fawbro broilers, three weeks - old were, used to investigate the probable role of licorice extract in suppressing the deterimental effects of aflatoxicosis on productive performance of broilers. Chicks were randomly allocated to 6 treatments of 3 replicates. Birds in the first treatment (Tl) were fed a basal diet and used as control group. Birds in T2 treatment fed a diet contaminated with anatoxin, while birds in T3 treatment were fed a diet contaminated with aflatoxin and treated with mold killer. However, birds in T4, T5 and T6 treatments were fed a diet contaminated with aflatoxin and supplemented with licorice extract at the levels of 150,300 and 450mg/kg of diet, respectivel. Inclusion of the aflatoxin in the diet resulted in a significant (pIt was concluded from this study that supplementation of licorice extract particularly at a level of 450 mg/kg Ito the diet contaminated with aflatoxin can depress the adverse effects of aflatoxicosis on productive performance of broiler chickens. | ||
