Abstract
The present work was designed to investigate the effects of mixing hot pepper and fenugreek on broiler. A total of 150 unsexed seven day old Cubb broiler chicks were randomly distributed into five treatment of 30 chicks each , in three replicates ( 10 chicks per each replicate) for each experiment, birds fed starter diets containing 23 % CP and grower diets containing 21 % CP . Five experimental diets were formulated to contain ( Control diets (T1 ) , 2 % hot pepper ( T 2) ,1.5 % hot pepper + 0.5 % fenugreek ( T3 ) , 1 % hot pepper + 1 % fenugreek ( T4 ) and 0.5 % hot pepper + 1.5 Fenugreek ( T5 ) ) .
Results of this study indicated that adding 2% of hot pepper gave the best body
weight and body weight gain compared with other treatments.
Hot pepper significantly reduce abdominal fat, total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides , glucose , calcium and GOT . These results indicate that addition of hot pepper and fenugreek to foods could reduce adiposity. There were no significant effect on total protein, albumin, GPT and phosphorus in blood serum with different treatment.
It is suggested that fenugreek and hot pepper could be used individually but not together to improve the performance of broiler chicks.
