Effect of Adding Different of Levels of Anise Seed Powder(Pampinella Anisum L) to Drinking Water on Performance And Some Blood Parameters of Broiler
Abstract
The objective of the current study was to investigate the influence of anise seed powder supplemented to the drinking water on performance and biochemical parameters of broiler chickens.This research was carried out at a poultry farm located in Tripoli city, Libya. A total of 240 broiler chicks (Ross) at one-day-old were randomly distributed into four treatments with four replicates per treatment (15 chickens per replication). Anise seed powder was added at 0, 500, 1000, and 1500mg/L to the drinking water offered to the C (control), T1, T2, and T3 groups respectively. Blood samples were collected puncture to evaluate the cellular components of blood (RBC, WBC, Hgb, HCT,). The following serum biochemical parameters were evaluated: CHOL, GLU, TP, albumin, globulins, , TG, total lipids, UA, and creatinine, as well as AST and ALT enzyme activities.The results revealed that anise seeds powder supplementation treatments (T2, T3 and T4) to the drinking water led to increase (P < 0.05) the body weight, body weight gain and feed consumption as compared with control treatment (T1). Significant increase (P < 0.05) in accumulative feed conversion coefficient as compared with control treatment.The improvement in the productive characterstics which have been studied were associated with increasing anise seeds powder in drinking water, whereas the concentration 1500 mg/liter drinking water (T4) was recorded the best means for studied characters as compared with concentrations 1000 and 500 mg / liter drinking water (T3 and T2), respectively. The statistical analysis indicated that the anise supplementation significantly (P<0.05) improved blood erythrocyte RBC and leucocyte counts WBC, hemoglobin concentration Hgb, hematocrit HCT, total protein TP, albumin ang globulin, glucose GLU, levels of broilers in groups T4, T3, and T2 compared with the control group on average. In addition, T3, T2 and control group, presented lower total cholestero CHOL, triglycerides TG, total lipids, creatinine, uric acid UA, and aspartate aminotransferase AST and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities. serum levels compared with the control group. The highest inclusion levels of anise seed powder, i.e., 1500 and 1000mg/L, had a stimulating effect on the physiological traits of the birds.
