Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the Poultry Farm , Animal Resources Department / College of Agriculture / University of Baghdad from the period of 25-1-2003 to 20-3-2003 , to study the effect of adding black seed (Nigella sativa) or its oil to the diet on some blood characteristics of broiler male. Three hundred and fifteen day old Fawbro broiler were randomly distributed to seven dietary treatments (0 , 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6% black seed , 0.25% corn oil , 0.25 and 0.50% black seed oil) . Chicks were fed a diet with 21% crude protein and 2906 kcal ME/kg diet at ad lib.
Results indicated that packed cell volume (PCV) and red blood cell (RBC were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in treatments three , four and seven as compared with the control group at 4 weeks of age.
Packed cell volume were significantly (P < 0.01) higher in treatments three , four and seven than the control group at 8 weeks of age . Red blood cell were also (P < 0.05) significantly higher in treatment 4 , 6 and 7 than the control. Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration for treatment four was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than the control group. Black seed or its oil had significantly (P < 0.01) lower H/L as compared with the control group. From this study it can be concluded that the addition of black seed or its oil to broiler diets had a beneficial effect on broiler performance and some blood characteristics .
