The effect of adding different graded levels of water Melon Seeds on Broiler chickens performance

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effect of feding graded levels (zero%,6%,8%) of water melon seeds powder b(raw and treted(roasted)) on broiler chike’s performance. A totel of 120 day- old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly distributed int five dietary tretments each tretment contained two replicates (12 birds/replicate), Each expeirmental groupp was fed its signed diet for (16 days) as experimental period. The results showed that there were no significant differences (p≥0.05) in the Totel feed intake (g/bird). The results showed that there were a highly significant diffirences in body weight. Value of (p˂0.01) when broiler fed 8% roasted recorded high one. The results showed that there were significant diffirences (p˂0.05) wherease 8% processed recorted is best (FCR). The results showed that there were significant diffirences recorded low value wherease 6% and 8% untreated in week 5 and 6. Also The results showed that there were significant diffirences in heard and internal fat between all groups record high value wherease (C) group record the lowest one. Group (E) showed high value in internal fat comopared to other groups.
