Abstract

The current work was aimed to estimate the role of quinoa in improving the performance and oxidative status of broiler chicken. The study used male broiler chicks (Ross308) that were 10 days old. Day-old weight was calculated by averaging the weight of the chicks after they were weighed. Five treated groups were allocated to them. Ten duplicates in each group were fed for forty days. The findings demonstrated that after 21 days, the broilers of T5 (728 g) gained the most body weight in comparison to T1 (671 g). The findings additionally demonstrated a significant influence (p≤0.05) on feed intake between T5 (1149) and T1 (1113g) after 21 days, as well as a significant effect (p≤0.05) between T1 and T5 in the first 49 days. The levels of RBC (2.29 ± 0.04), Hb (12.95 ± 0.42), PCV (31.82 ± 0.17) and MCV (40.69±0.25) in fifth group show high significant changes (P < 0.05) compared with control male broiler (2.14 ± 0.03; 10.18 ± 0.13; 28.37 ± 0.13 and 35.81±0.37 respectively). The counts of RBC, Hb, PCV and MCV in other treatments show significant changes (P < 0.05) compared with control male broiler. The levels of MDA (1.13 ± 0.09), GSH (0.391 ± 0.012) and enzyme catalase (1.63 ± 0.08) in fifth group show high significant changes (P < 0.05) compared with control male broiler (1.45 ± 0.12; 0.271 ± 0.015 and 1.21 ± 0.03 respectively). The levels of MDA (1.35 ± 0.17; 1.31 ± 0.11; 1.21 ± 0.12 respectively), GSH (0.329 ± 0.013; 0.347 ± 0.021; 0.374 ± 0.014 respectively) and catalase (1.36 ± 0.09; 1.35 ± 0.05; 1.43 ± 0.06 respectively) in other treatments show significant changes (P < 0.05) compared with control male broiler. The current study's findings support the notion that broilers' performance and oxidative state are improved when quinoa seed extract, a natural antioxidant, is included in their diet.
