The use of (Triticosecale) in the diet of broiler chickens with a mixture of enzymes and its effect on the percentage of filtration and internal edible parts

Abstract

The experiment was designed to test the impact of triticale on the dressing percentage and edible internal parts, yellow maize was replaced with triticale feed broiler chicks ROSS 308. The 288 birds were divided into six treatments, each treatment had six replicates with eight birds each (three replicates for males and three for females), and the chicks were divided among the six treatments. The following were the treatments: 1. Control group without any additions (negative control): Treatment 1 (T1). Triticale is substituted for yellow maize in Treatments 2 and 3 (T2 and T3), to varying degrees (at 50% and 100%, respectively). Treatments 4, 5, and 6 (T4, T5, and T6): These treatments are comparable to Treatments 1, 2, and 3 with the addition of an enzyme mixture at a rate of 500 grams per ton, respectively. After 38 days of age measurements relevant to the study were taken. The results showed that adding enzymes to treatments T4, T5, and T6 significantly improved the dressing percentage. T3 also demonstrated a significant increase in the liver's relative weight, which was accompanied by a decrease in the gallbladder's relative weight. Regarding the impact of the birds' sex, females displayed a statistically significant rise in the gallbladder%, thymus gland%, and breast muscle%. Significant interactions between the treatments and the sex of the birds were also identified, leading to notable variations in the majority of the traits. This study's findings suggest that adding triticale supplemented with enzymes improved the dressing percentage of broiler chickens and had a substantial positive impact on the relative weight of the breast muscles and immunological function.
