In this study, we used unsexed broiler chicks of the hybrid (Ross 308), raised in animal production fields/College of Agriculture and Forestry for the period from 7/2/2024 to 19/ 3 /2024. The chicks were subjected to the treatments under study from the first day of the experiment. The experiment included five treatments: T1 : Standard ration (without Azolla and enzyme ).T2: ration contained Azolla 7% and without enzyme .T3: ration contained Azolla 7% + 0.30% enzyme.T4: ration contained Azolla 7% + 0.35% enzyme.T5: ration contained Azolla 7% + 0.40% enzyme. Measurements of production characteristics were taken weekly and statistical analysis shows that there was a significant increase in live body weight, weight gain, an improvement in feed conversion ratio, a decrease in the feed consumed In enzyme addition transactions, and no significant effect of the treatments in the relative growth rate.
This study aimed to prepare a feeder containing Azolla with the addition of enzymes as a technical management method that contributes to increasing the decomposition of fibers to increase the rate of utilization as a non-traditional protein source for locally available fodder
