Abstract

          The research was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementation of  organic acids blend to the ration on some productive  and physiological traits of broiler . A total number of 300 one day old chicks( Ross 308) were used ,those chicks were  randomly distributed in to 5 treatment and each treatment involved 3 equal replications. organic acids were added to the  starter and finisher  ration during the 2nd week of age, the first treatment fed on ordinary ration without the addition  (control treatment ) mean while  organic acids were supplemental as 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% to the second , third, fourth and fifth treatmants respectively .  results illustrated a highly significant (p <0.05) surpassing of mean body weights in the 4th treatment during the 4th  week of age with  a significant  improvement (p<0.05) of mortality rate in the 5th  treatment, in addition the results indicated highly significant (p <0.01) improvement  of Packed Cell Volume in the 4th and 5th treatments as well as a highly significant(p <0.01) improvement of  heterophil  lymphocyte ratio in the 3rd ,4th and 5th  treatments.
