Effect of dried Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) powder in broilers diet on the performance, immune response and some of blood factors

The effect of different levels of dried purslane powder (DPP) in broiler diets on performance, immune response and some of blood factors was studied with 160 one day old chicken Ross 308 in a completely randomized design with four treatments (diets included with levels 0 (control), 2.5, 5 and 7.5 percent DPP), four replicates and 10 chicks in each replication. At 22-42 and 1-42 days different level of DPP resulted in a significant increase in the daily body weight gain and daily feed intake. Birds that were fed with 5 and 7.5 percent of DPP have a better feed conversion ratio compare with the control group (P
