| Abstract | ||
| This research was conducted in order to determine the effects of dietary capparis spinosa on growth performance, blood metabolites and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. A total of 288 one day old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were allocated to 3 experimental groups with 4 replicates of 24 birds per pen. The experimental design was completely randomized design. The period of study was 49 days. The experimental groups (treatments) were 3 diets including basal diet (control), diets contain 1 and 2 percent capparis spinosa powder. The results showed that t experimental groups had effect on average daily gain (ADG), the diet of 2 percent capparis spinosa had lowest ADG to compare with other experimental groups during 1 to 49 days (P<0.01). .No significant differences were observed in average daily feed between of experimental groups. The mean of feed conversion ratio were significantly different between experimental groups, the basal diet had lowest feed conversion ratio, but diets contain 1 and 2 percent capparis spinosa powder had highest (P<0.01). The highest percent mortality observed in control treatment (P<0.05). The different levels of capparis spinosa decreased triglyceride and increased HDL-cholesterol (P<0.05). Treatments had no effect on absolute and relative weight of carcass, parts of carcass and visceral organs. It concluded that the use of capparis spinosa at the level of 1 percent has positive effect in diet of broiler chickens | ||
