Effect of addition of Arugula seeds oil to the ration on some immunological and hematological traits of Ross broilers

Abstract

The research was carried out in the poultry farm – Technical college Al- musaiyib during the period 10/9/2011 until 21/10/2011 – A total of 250 broiler chicks un sexed , one day old were divided randomly into 5 treatments (50 chicks / treatment ) control treatment while T2 to T5 were fed on the control diet which contained 0.5 , 0.75 , 1.0 and 1.25 ml of Arugula seeds oil / kg of feed respectively to investigate the effect of addition Arugula seeds oil to the ration on some immunological and hematological traits of Ross broilers chickens at 42 day .Results illustrated a high significant effect (P<0.01) on (pcv) for broilers at treatment at the end of the experiment, an increased of (RBC) count with addition of the oil . A high significant increase of Hb concentration so the treatment which contained the oil at a level of 1.25 ml / kg to record 8.91 gm/100 ml at a high significant effect (0.05) as compared with the control treatment , meanwhile the total leuco cyte count and Heterophil / lymphocyte ration was not affected significantly .A high significant effect of (P<0.01) of Newcastle Antibody titre at 21and 42 day which was 32 at treatments which contained the Arugula seeds oil at 21 and 42 day as will as a high significant increase (P<0.01) of the antibody titer of coccidian at 21 and 42 days .It was concluded that addition of Arugula seeds oil led to improvement of immunological and hematological traits which affect the productive performance of broiler projects .
