Abstract
This study was conducted in the poultry fields of the Animal Production Unit /
College of Agriculture / Hawija - Kirkuk University, for the period from 3/22 to
2/5/2021 to find out the effect of adding Iraqi palm pollen compared to Egyptian in
broiler diets Rose 308 on some productive traits for a period of 42 days. has been used
400 unsexed Rose308 chicks were used divided into 8 treatments by 5 replicates, each
treatment includes 50 as 10 chicks for each replicate according to the ground breeding
system, a ground cage with dimensions (90 * 200) cm, and they were randomly
distributed on the following treatments: - The first treatment was a control treatment
without any addition to the fodder. The second and third treatments included the addition
of 1 and 2 kg / ton of fodder from local palm pollen, while the fourth and fifth treatment
added 1 and 2 kg / ton of fodder from Egyptian palm pollen. The sixth treatment was
the addition of 1 kg of local palm pollen. / ton of fodder +1 kg of Egyptian palm pollen
/ ton of fodder as well as the seventh treatment 1 kg of local palm pollen / ton of fodder
+ 2 kg of Egyptian palm pollen / ton of fodder and the eighth was the addition of 2 kg
of local palm pollen / ton of fodder +1 kg of Egyptian palm pollen / ton of fodder. he
results showed a significant superiority at the level (P<0.05) in the average body weight
and weight gain of the three treated birds compared with the rest of the treatments at the
fourth, fifth and sixth weeks, in addition to the cumulative weight gain, and a significant
improvement was found at the level (P<0.05) in the coefficient of Nutritional conversion
and a significant decrease in the amount of feed consumed by the birds of the same
treatment. We conclude from the current study that palm pollen has a positive effect in
increasing the weight rates of birds as well as improving its productive qualities
