Abstract

This study was conducted in a poultry farm of the Department of Animal Production / College of Agriculture/University of Anbar, The experiment to see the effect of the use of Azolla Filiculoides Lam in the diets of broiler chickens at the age of 21-42 days, using 300 Ross 308 broilers fed on added diets, Azolla Filiculoides Lam used at levels 5, 10, 20 and 30% for T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively, and were compared with the control treatment T1 which is free of Azolla Filiculoides Lam. Significant increase (P≤0.05) in average body weight, weight increase, food intake rate, improved food conversion ratio, and production index for the birds of the treatment 5% Azolla Filiculoides Lam compared with control treatment and other treatments. There were no significant differences between the control treatment and experimental treatments in all biochemical characteristics of blood plasma, which included the concentration of glucose, protein, albumin, and globulin, the activity of the liver enzymes ALT and AST. In conclusion from this study, it is possible to add Azolla Filiculoides Lam to the diet by 5% feed to obtain a positive improvement in the productive performance of broilers and achieve the best economic feasibility
