The study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding citrus peel powder (Bitter Orange) to broiler diets on some production traits, the experiment was conducted on 160 unsexed day-old Ross 308 broilers, divided into 4 groups and each group had 4 replicates with 10 birds per replicate, The birds in each replicate were randomly distributed were T0 (control group) = (no additives) basal feed, T1 = basal feed+ 5g Bitter Orange powder/kg, T2 = basal feed+ 10g Bitter Orange powder/kg, and T3 = basal feed+ 15g Bitter Orange powder/kg, The experiment lasted for 42 days. The results showed that there were significant differences (P≤0.05) in body weight at different levels compared with the control group and there was no significant effect on the rate of weight gain, and there were significant differences at the level of (P≤0.05) in feed conversion ratio and feed conversion ratio. There were significant differences (P≤0.05) in body weight and weight gain , and there was no significant effect on feed consumption and feed conversion ratio.
In T1, T2, and T3 groups, there was an increase in body weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio compared with the T0 group.
