Abstract
The study conducted in poultry field of Faculty of Agriculture – University of Kirkuk to evaluate the effect of using different levels of mineral mud (Choraawa-1) on carcass cuts and internal organs weights of chick fed by 2.5 mg aflatoxin /kg diet .
360 male and female Ross type chicks assigned randomly to one of three treatments with 3 replicates for each (30 chick in 2.5 * 2 m pen). All chicks fed starter ratio from day 1 to 21, grower ratio from day 22 to 35 and subse- quently finisher ratio up to 49 days of age. (Choraawa -1) mud used at 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% of the aflatoxin contaminated ratio as treatment 2, 3 and 4 subse- quently, while treatment 1 was the control group with zero mineral mud and aflatoxin.
The results showed that treatment 3 (0.6% Choraawa-1) had significantly higher cold carcass weight. Internal organs weights showed significant differ- ences between different (Choraawa-1) levels and an improvement observed in treatment 3 as a positive effect of using (Choraawa-1) mineral 0.6%.
