| Abstract |
This experiment was carried out at Poultry Breeding Farm, Poultry Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University.
The objective of the current experiment was to study the influence of dietary Cd or AI on the performance of broiler chicks and some hematological parameters. Therefor, 300 one-day old broiler chicks (Arbor Acres) was randomly distributed into seven groups. Three groups of them were received 40, 80 and 120 ppm Cd, other three groups were received 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm AI and the control group received the regular diet., Birds fed the experimental diets from one-day old till six weeks of age.
A significant reduction in the body weight of birds fed Cd- or AI diet was noticed at all levels. Feed consumption of Cd-fed groups was. markedly reduced at all levels while this reduction was recorded only with 1500 ppm AI fed group. Feed conversion was significantly deteriorated in the groups fed 120 ppm Cd or 1500 ppm AI.
Dressing percentage of Cd- or AI- fed birds was significantly reduced at all levels. However, relative weight of liver, heart, kidney and gizzard were increased in the birds fed the highest levels of Cd or AI.
Feeding of Cd or AI resulted in signficantly increase in Cd and AI retention within the muscles.
These results suggested that the high dietary levels of Cd or AI were precisely decreased the economic efficiency of the broiler chicks.
