Abstract
Objective: To study the effect of Mahad powder in chicken feed on the health and production performance of native chickens.
Materials and methods: A total of 150 Thai native chickens of mixed gender were used in a completely randomized trial (CRD). The experiment consisted of 30 chickens per treatment receiving different levels of Mahad powder. To compare 5 levels of Mahad powder supplementation, including basic feed supplemented with 1% Mahad powder, 2% Mahad powder, 3% Mahad powder, 4% Mahad powder, 5% Mahad powder, respectively.
Results: When Mahad powder was mixed into a feed formula to feed native chickens for a period of 4-12 weeks by studying the production efficiency of native chickens in the experimental set of 5 treatments, it was found that the production efficiency values were similar and there was no statistically significant differences (p≥0.05) such as starting weight final weight change in body weight (Body Weight Gain; BWG), weight exchange rate (Feed Conversion Ratio; FCR), feed cost per gain (Feed Cost per Gain; FCG), hematology values and blood chemistry values However, when increasing the level of Mahad powder in the experimental feed, it resulted in a statistically significant increase in the cost of producing native chicken (p<0.05).
Conclusion: When Mahad powder is mixed into a feed recipe to feed local chickens. It was found that there were production performance values, hematology values and blood chemistry values there was no statistically significant difference. However, when the Mahad powder level was increased in the experimental feed, it resulted in a statistically significant increase in the cost of native chicken production.
