IMPACT OF AQUEOUS AND ALCOHOLIC EXTRACTS OF HIBISCUS POWDER AT DIFFERENT AGES ON SOME PRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF BROILER ROSS308
Keywords:
Aqueous, alcoholic extracts, hibiscus, different ages, productive, broiler.Abstract
This experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research and Experiment Station from December 22, 2025, to January 26, 2026. The aim was to study the effect of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of hibiscus powder on the productive performance of broiler. 450 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks, weighing an average of 38.52 gm, were used. The chicks were divided into five treatments: control, aqueous extract of hibiscus powder at concentrations of 2 and 4 ml/L of drinking water, and alcoholic extract at concentrations of 2 and 4 ml/L of drinking water. The chicks were divided into three age groups (7-35 days, 14-35 days, and 21-35 days). The results indicated that adding the alcoholic extract of hibiscus powder at a concentration of 4 ml/L of drinking water improved the productive performance of the broiler chickens aged 7-35 days compared to the other treatments.
