Effect of adding vinegar to drinking water in quality property of carcasses meal and female Broiler

Abstract

AbstractThis study was conducted in Poultry Far College of Veterinary Medicine , University of Baghdad from October-21 to December-2-2010 to investigate the impact of adding different levels of vinegar to drinking water on body weight , carcass quality (weight and percentage of the carcass main and secondary cuts) dressing percentage for two sex of broiler . One hundred and eighty one-day old chicks of Cobb-500 strain were randomly allocated to four treatments (45birds each) with 3 replicates(15birds each) . The treatments were (T1,T2,T3,T4) adding vinegar to drinking water with 0.2.4.6 ml/L respectively . The result obtained reviled the following : Notic highly significant (P <0.01) in body weight , carcass for males comparison with females , the body weight were 2710.0 comparison with 2445.6 g . and with percent 9.8 and 11.3 respectively . Lead of adding 6ml of vinegar (T4) to significant increase (P<0.01) in average body weight and carcass comparison with control(T1) were body weight 2818.8 comparison with 2412.5 g will carcass weight 2128.8 comparison with 1771.3 g respectively . No effect of all treatments with vinegar added (T2,T3,T4) were in dressing percentage and relative weight of the carcass main and secondary cuts for males and females comparison with control(T1) . It follows from this experiment that the addition of different ratios of vinegar to drinking water improvement of body , carcass weight , dressing percentages and relative weight for breast comparison with control .
