ABSTRACT
Hammod AJ, Hassan Abd El-Aziz A, Areaaer AH.,
Effect of Dill (Anethum graveolens)
supplement on performance of Ross 308 broilers, Onl J
Vet Res., 24 (3):139-145, 2020. Dill
(Anethum graveolens)
from celery Apiaceae, genus Anethum may reduce insomnia, hiccups, diarrhea, dysentery, menstrual
disorders, respiratory disorders, and cancer. We report effect of Dill seed on
performance, edible giblets and mortality rate in Ross 308 broiler chicks. Groups of 10 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were supplemented 1, 2 and
3g Dill powder/kg basal diet daily for 30 days. Weight gain, feed intake and
conversion ratios were calculated weekly for starter and finisher periods. We
provided 23h light/1h dark at 32 ̊C at day 1
reduced 3 ̊C weekly to 3 weeks. At day 35 eight male birds from each replicate
were slaughtered and edible gizzard,
heart and liver weight were
measured. Our findings suggest that 1g/kg Dill increased feed intake (FI), live
body (BW), weight gain (WG) and feed conversion compared with controls or other
treatments (P < 0.05). Weights of edible giblets were higher (P < 0.05)
in chicks given dill.
