Abstract:
The present study was designed to investigate the effect of feeding various levels (0%, 5%, 15% and 25% ) of guar germ on broiler chick�s performance. A total of two hundred one day old chicks of Habbard breed were used for the experiment with 10 chicks per group (replicate) and 5 replicates per treatment. By 7 weeks of experimentation period, results indicated that chicks that received 5% guar germ had significantly (P>0.01) higher body weight gain, higher value of daily feed intake, improved feed efficiency as compared to controls or other dietary treatments, while chicks fed on 25% guar germ diets; significantly showed decreased values of all such parameters.
