Abstract
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of Nigella sativa meal (NSM) on performance, immunity and some blood biochemical and hematological parameters of broiler chicks. A total of 120, one day-old broiler chicks (Hubbard) were divided into four treatment groups, with three replicates per treatment and 10 chicks per replicate. Chicks in control groups were fed basal diets. Birds in treatment groups were fed on diets supplemented with 3, 6 and 9% NSM. Body weights of broilers were measured at one, 21 and 42 days, feed intake was measured at the same periods and feed conversion was calculated, accordingly. Blood samples were taken for biochemical and hematological analysis. At ages 30 and 42 days, two chicks were taken randomly and slaughtered and the spleen, thymus and bursa were collected and weighted. Results of this experiment showed that, supplementing 3% and 6% of NSM improved body weight gain (BWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of broilers at starter and grower periods (P
