Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate of adding different levels of vinegar to drinking water on body length , breast circumambient , thight , body and breast fleshing and bone lenghts for two sexs of broiler . One hundred and eighty one-day old chicks of Cobb-500 strain were randomly allocated to four treatments (45birds each) with 3 replicates(15birds each) . Vineger was added at rates 0,2,4,and 6 ml/L of drinking water for T1,T2,T3 and T4 respectivelly during 42 days . The results revealed : - Highly significant (P <0.01) differences in body length and significant (P<0.05) in each of circumambient of breast , length of keel , thigh and drumstic bones for male in comparision with femal . T2 and T3 recorded significant increase (P<0.01) in body fleshing and length of keel bone comparison with other treatmeants . Treatment T4 significan (P<0.05) increase thigh and drumstic bone length comparision with other treatments . It concluded that adding vinger to drinking water with the rates studied improved carcass traits and body dimensions in broilers .
