Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding five levels of Ferula assa foetida powder (0, 0. 25, 0. 50, 0. 75 and 1 percent of diet) on performance, humoral and cellular immune status and cecal microbial population. A total of 200 one-day-old mixed sex Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 5 experimental groups with each four replicates and 10 birds in each replicate, using to a completely randomized design. Experimental periods were as 1-21 and 22-42 days of age. During 22-42 days of age, the highest body weight gain (BWG) was observed in birds fed diet containing 0. 75% Ferula assa foetida (FAF). At 1-21 days of age, adding FAF to the diet did not affect FCR (P>0. 05) but at 22-42 days of age the lowest FCR was observed in birds fed 0. 75% FAF compared to control group (P<0. 05). Birds fed FAF, had higher antibody titer against NDV, IB and cellular immunity 48h after challenging with 2, 4-Dinitrochlorobenzene (P<0. 05). Birds fed 0. 75 percent FAF, had higher relative bursa of Fabricius weight compared to birds in control group (P<0. 05). Cecal lactobacilli population improved by using FAF in diet (P<0. 05). Result of this experiment showed that using 0. 75% FAF powder in diet of broilers could improve FCR, humoral and cellular immune responses as well as cecal lactobacilli population.
