Abstract

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Fenugreek and Ginger Powder. The additives
were added to diets of broiler chicken for 6 weeks (along the period of experiments). The Production
performance, the Physiology and the Microbial balance in the intestine were studied.
150 day-old Hubbard Chicks were divided randomly into 5 groups were as follow:
1- Group one: Basal diet (control group).
2- Group Two: Basal diet to 0.5 % Fenugreek.
3- Group Three: Basal diet to 1 % Fenugreek.
4- Group Four: Basal diet to 0.5 % Ginger.
5- Group Five: Basal diet to 1 % Ginger.
The results showed:
1- The groups which treated by Fenugreek seeds powder (0.5 %) and by Ginger (0.5 %)
and (1%) showed insignificant increase in body weight compared with T1.
2- The groups which treated by Fenugreek seeds powder (1%) showed significant
decrease (P<0.05) in body weight compared with other groups.
3- There was no significant differences in the feed conversion coefficient between
different groups.
4- Improvement of blood parameters of T2, T3 , T4 and T5 compared with T1.
