Abstract |
To determine the
effect of Olibanum on
performance, some blood biochemical and intestinal morphology of broiler
chicks, a total 360 one day Ross 308 broiler chicks were divided into 6
dietary treatments. The chicks were fed a basal diet as control; basal
diet with 0.01% (T1), 0.015% (T2), 0.02% (T3), 0.03% (T4) and 0.05% (T5)
of Olibanum. No significant difference was found in feed intake, weight
gain and feed conversion ratio between the control and treated groups.
Serum triglyceride level decreased significantly (P<0.05) in T1, T2 and
T3 compared to the control. Villus length of ilium increased
significantly (P<0.05) in T2. In conclusion, it seems that inclusion of
Olibanum as feed additive may have significantly enhanced effects on
performance and some blood biochemical in broiler chicks.
