Abstract

               This experiment was carried out at the  which poultry farm  of  Babylon to study the effect of adding humic acid to the drinking water on performance of Ross 308  broiler chicks . The experimented the period from  20/1/2017  to 5/3/2017of birds age  , A total of 135 one day old chicks were used in this experimented , chicks were allocated randomly in                     to 3 treatments, 45 chicks for each treatment , each treatment was included 3 equal replicates, 15 chicks for each one. 

The treatments , were: -

Treatment (T1)  basal diet + fresh water without addition (Control group).

Treatment(T2)  basal diet + fresh water supplemented with Humic acids in  ( 3.6 g/l liter water .

Treatment(T3)  basal diet + fresh water supplemented with Humic acids     ( 7.8 g/l liter water .

       The results of this experiment indicated that  supplemented of Humic acids in the fresh  water  during the period (1-6) week of the experiment , had a significant effect ) P≤0.05) on body weights rate of chicks and accumulative feed consumption , accumulative weights gain of the birds  and significant effect) P≤0.05) of feed conversion rate as compared with the control treatment. Addition of humic acid has an significant effect of the birds  ) P≤0.05) on the carcass traits  of birds (The relative weight of the various carcass cuts  and Internal organs )  in comparison to the birds of  control treatment.
