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 Indian ginger powder 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. (T2) Add 1 kg / ton of ginger to the ration and (T3) add 2 kg / ton of ginger to
the ration. The results of the experiment showed that there were significant differences
(p<0.05) in the concentration of protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, Cholesterol and
LDL when adding palm pollen compared to the control treatment, and a significant
increase in HDL in the treatments added with palm pollen, and the activity of liver
enzymes ALT and AST, There was an improvement in the antioxidant status, as there
was a decrease in the levels of malondialdehyde and an increase in the levels of GSH
glutathione in the palm pollen supplementation treatments compared to the control
treatment. Also, a significant decrease recorded in addition treatments in the numbers
of E. coli bacteria and a significant increase in addition treatments in the numbers of
Lactobacilli compared with the control treatment.
