Abstract

In a study the effect of different levels of Pomegranate seed pulp (PSP) on performance traits and some blood parameters of broiler were determined. Pomegranate seed pulp was used in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and % 6 of feed from day 1 to 42. Two hundreds and eighty one day old Ross male broilers with a completely randomize design were assigned to 7 treatments, with 4 replicates of 10 birds each. In the end of experimental period, after skin removal, carcass weight, edible and inedible internal organs weights were measured. On day 42, 2 birds from every replicate were killed and blood samples for determining of triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL and HDL concentrations were obtained. The results showed that there were no significance differences between treatments concerning, feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass weight, edible and inedible internal organs. Also, there were no significant differences between treatments concerning triglyceride, cholesterol and LDL (P>0.05). The percent weight of gizzard for treatment having % 5 PSP (2.63 mM) showed to be significantly difference from that of the control (2 mM) (P<0.05). Based on the obtained results that addition of Pomegranate seed pulp to diet had no significant effect on performance traits of broiler, therefore, this by-product, particularly where available, can be used up to % 6 in broiler diet.
