DIETARY EFFECT OF CINNAMON ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BROILER MD. RASEDUZZAMAN This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of the dietary effect of different levels of cinnamon on growth performance and carcass traits of commercial broiler. The study was conducted at the Poultry farm of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during the period from 20 June to 18 July, 2023. A total of 120, day old broiler chicks (Hubbard-EP) were randomly and equally distributed to 4 groups having 3 replicates of 10 birds each. The birds were grouped as T0, T1, T2 and T3 group with normal feed, 0.5% cinnamon, 1% cinnamon, 2% cinnamon respectively. Body weight gains, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), mortality (%) and meat yield traits were recorded. The collected data were analyzed by using ANOVA with SPSS version 22. Feed intake (g/bird) was almost similar (P>0.05) among the dietary treatment groups. Body weight gain (g) and FCR were significantly (P<0.05) differed among the dietary treatment groups. The highest body weight was found in T3 (1501.00g±8.74) followed by T1 (1456.67g±2.33), T0 (1363.00g±23.39) and T2 (1359.00g±12.58), respectively. The lowest FCR was found in T0 (1.48±0.51) and the highest FCR in T0 (1.63±0.09), the intermediate in T1 (1.62±0.07) and T2 (1.58±0.87), respectively. It was found that there was significant (P<0.05) difference among the dietary treatment groups in case of live weight (g), carcass weight (g), breast weight (g), liver weight(g), but there was almost similar (P>0.05) among the dietary treatment groups in case of heart weight (g), spleen weight (g), thigh weight (%), head weight (g), intestine weight (g). Live weight carcass weight, thigh muscle, breast meat weight and breast meat was significantly (P<0.05) higher in treatment T3 group compared to control group T0. Mortality was found in T1 (3.33%) and in T2 (3.33%) dietary treatment groups during experimental period. Therefore, 2%cinnamon powder 2gm /kg feed may be used in broiler diet as growth promoter and it may also serve as an antioxidant.

COMPARISON OF ACIDIC AND ALKALINE WATER ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS CHARACTERISTICS OF COMMERCIAL BROILER EMA, ESARATUZ ZAHAN This study was conducted to determine the comparative effects of acidic and alkaline drinking water containing Acetic acid and Sodium Bicarbonate on growth performance, feed conversion ratio (FCR), livability, mortality and carcass traits in commercial broilers. The study location was the Central Poultry farm of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, from 16 August to 12 September (28 days), 2023. A total of 210, day old broiler chicks (Efficiency Plus-Hubbard) were randomly and equally distributed to 7 groups having 3 replicates of 10 birds in each. The birds were grouped as T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 group of which T0 was with normal water (control group) and T1, T2 and T3 drinking water was treated with 0.25ml/L, 0.33ml/L and 0.5ml/L Acetic Acid respectively. T4, T5 and T6 group was treated with Sodium Bicarbonate Powder at the rate of 0.5gm/L, 1gm/L and 1.5gm/L drinking water. Data were analyzed by using ANOVA with SPSS version 22. The highest environmental temperature during research period was 38.70C with 96% humidity. The feed intake (gm/broiler) at the age of 28 days in T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 was 2327.33, 2362.33, 2330.66, 2323.00, 2235.33, 2412.00 and 2293.33, respectively. The live body weight in T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 was 1609.00, 1772.00, 1741.33, 1698.00, 1653.33, 1727.00 and 1629.33, respectively. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) in T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 was 1.44, 1.33, 1.34, 1.36, 1.35, 1.39 and 1.40, respectively. The carcass weight in T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 was 986.00, 1051.33, 1041.33, 1022.00, 995.33, 1036.00 and 1002.00, respectively. In T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 livability was 93.33%, 100%, 96.67%, 100%, 96.67%, 96.67% and 93.33% respectively and mortality was 6.67%, 0.00%, 3.33%, 0.00%, 3.33%, 3.33% and 6.67% respectively. Considering the above facts it may be concluded that Acetic Acid is better than Sodium Bicarbonate in production performance of commercial broiler and specifically supplementation of 0.33ml/L of Acetic Acid had positive significant effect on feed intake, live body weight, carcass weight, FCR, livability and mortality. Therefore, Acetic Acid can be used in broiler diet for better performance than Sodium Bicarbonate.
