ABSTRACT
The study was conducted at Animal resources department poultry farm,
College of Agriculture and Forestry during period 10/4/2011 to 28/5/2011 to know
the effect of acclimation and adding tow concentrations level of each of Licorice
extract (800 and 1200 mg/l of water, licorice extract's(1)and(2)) and Sodium
bicarbonate (0.4 and 0.6%, Sodium bicarbonate(1)and(2)) to drinking water to
minimize the negative heat stress effect on some productive traits in broilers. The
results showed no significant effect of acclimation on final live body weight, total
increasing weight, total relative growth, total feed consumption, feed conversion,
total mortality and production index. While highly significant (P0.01) effects of
licorice extract's(1) were noticed for final live body weight and total increasing
weight, and significant (P0.05) effect on production index. Sodium
bicarbonate(1)and(2) showed highly significantly (P0.01) supremacy for total
relative growth, and sodium bicarbonate(2) on total feed consumption. No
significant effects were noticed for interaction between acclimation and the
different treatments for total feed conversion, total mortality, and primary and
secondary cuts, addible bowels, and viscera fat percent.
Key words: Heat stress, Acclimation, Licorice extract, sodium bicarbonate, Broilers
