Effect of Addition Different Levels of Parsley Leaves Powder (petroselinum sativum) to the Ration on Some Blood Serum Biochemical Traits of Broiler Ross 308

Abstract

This study was conducted at Poultry Farm of Animal Resources Dept., College of Agriculture, University of AL-Qasim Green to investigate Study the effect of addition different levels of Parsley leaves powder (petroselinum sativum) to the ration on some blood serum biochemical traits of broiler Ross 308. Use the 180 broiler chicks Ross 308 day-old were randomly assigned to four treatments (by 3 replicates per treatment 15 chicks per replicate), and treatments were as follows : Treatment for the first (control) without adding Parsley leaves powder into the ration, the second treatment: Add Parsley leaves powder by 500 mg / kg feed, third-treatment: Add Parsley leaves powder by a 1000 mg / kg feed and treatment fourth: Add Parsley leaves powder  by a 1500 mg / kg feed. The experiment included a study of the following characteristics : total protein concentration, albumin, globulin and the concentration of glucose . The results indicated that the addition of Parsley leaves by  1000  and 1500 mg / kg feed to broiler diet led to a significant improvement ) p<0.05( in total protein concentration, albumin, and globulin and significant decrease) p<0.05  (in concentration of glucose .It concluded from this experience, that the addition of Parsley leaves by 1000  and 1500 mg / kg feed to the ration can lead to improve in some blood serum biochemical traits of broiler Ross 308.
