Effect of adding biochar to the diet and litter on the rate of diet consumption, relative humidity and gut health of broilers (Ross308)

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of adding biochar diet and litter on growth performance broilers hock burn footpad dermatitis. In experiment, 300 One day old chicks were randomly distributed 5 treatments 3 replicates each treatment , with (20) birds per replicate an average weight (39.7) g. T1: Without in litter. T2: (2) kg / 100 diet). T3: (4 l T4: (2 litter). T5: litter) . The results statistical analysis weekly consumption rate indicated a significant superiority over control group While relative humidity, level ammonia NH3 that recorded best compared group. As for microbial characteristics, it shown group, which decrease number colon bacteria increase lactic acid bacteria. humidity group.
 aim this study is evaluate as food additive positive stimulant intestinal flora maintaining health broiler digestive system. Besides, due its absorbent properties, can reduce moisture content improve overall environment breeding halls.
