EFFECTS OF DIETARY NUCLEOTIDES SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE PERFOR-MANCE OF BROILER CHICKS

This study examined the effects of nucleotide supplementation on broiler chick growth performance, immunological response, carcass traits, meat quality, serum biochemical parameters, total antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, mortality rate, and economic efficiency measures chicks. A 180 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308) were distributed into 6 groups, each which consisted 30 chicks, group was divided 3 replicates so that replicate contained 10 fed six experimental diets as follows: basal diet without oil or (T1), with 1% soybean nucleotide(T2), 50 grams per 100-kilogram different fat sources (no oil(T3), oil(T4), linseed oil(T5) &1% fish oil(T6) respectively during period (5 weeks). Growth performance parameters detected stage period. Four from used at termination experiment for analysis above mentioned measurements. Results revealed in improved feed conversion ratio, bursa Fabricius weight, best ratios observed groups combination oil. Also, there an increased SBO group(T2) then nucleotides mix (T5) control (T1). In comparison to (T1 & T2), PUFA had significantly lower n-6: n-3 ratio breast muscle, rate.
