Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the response of turkey poults to different types and levels of natural feed additives (NFA) such as hot or black pepper and canena feed at levels 0.2 or 0.4% considering growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters and the economic efficiency.
A total number of 168 unsexed eight-weeks- old Broad Breasted Bronze turkey poults were randomly distributed to seven treatment groups of 24 birds each. Each group contained 3 replicates, of 8 birds per replicate. Then, initial live body weight among replecats as well as treatments was nearly similar. The first group served as control, while the other groups were assigned on one of two levels of tested NFA.
Data revealed that adding NFA i.e, hot or black pepper or canella to the control diet significantly improved live body weight. body weight gain and feed intake while, decreased feed conversion efficiency as compared to those led the centro'. Results indicated a significant decrease in dressinq, heart and gizzard percentages of turxey poults the supplemented NFA as compared to those fed the control diet. dier plasma total protein, albumin glObulin contents were significantly increased when hot pepper was fed at 0.4%, while plasma total lipids significantly decreased Either hot or black pepper and canella had no adverse effect either on plasma cholesterol or alkaline phosphatase.
It is concluded that using hot paper or canella at 0.2 or 0.4% may enhance the productive performance with no adverse effects on blood parameters of turxey poulls
