Abstract
A total number of 225 Sudani ducklings at one-day-old were used, weighed and divided into three experimental groups (each of three replicates) to investigate the effect of dried chamomile flower (DCF) addition at different levels (0.0, 1.0 and 3.0 g/kg) on growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters and economic efficiency. The results indicated that dietary DCF with 1.0 g/kg resulted in a significant (P≤0.01) increased in live body weight at 16 weeks of age, while body weight gain, and performance index were significantly (P≤0.05) improved as compared to the control group during the overall experimental period (0 -16 weeks of age). In spite of, eviscerated carcass and total edible parts (%) were not significantly affected by different levels of dietary DCF addition, but abdominal fat (mg/100 g LBW) was high significantly (P≤0.01) decreased. Relative weights of gizzard and total giblets were significantly (P≤0.05) higher in ducklings fed diet supplemented with 1.0 g DCF. Plasma total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol were significantly decreased by supplementing DCF with 1.0 and 3.0 g/ kg diet. Plasma liver function parameters were significantly increased as a result of diet addition with DCF except globulin which was significantly decreased. Hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cells (RBCs) were insignificantly affected by DCF treatments, however, treatments caused significantly increased in white blood cells (WBCs). Economic efficiency was improved for ducklings fed diets supplemented DCF with 1.0 g /kg diet. The obtained data suggest that dietary DCF 1.0 g/kg for Sudani ducklings during growing period may be could improve growth performance and economic efficiency besides, reduce abdominal fat, total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.
