The study goal was to find out how hens fed Arabic gum (AG) powder affected performance and blood chemistry of breed chicken.
The experiment included one hundred and eighty AL-SALAM local chicken breed14 days old. The criteria for response were average
weight increase, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, dressing %, non-carcass component (heart, gizzard, and liver), and chemical
analysis of blood serum parameters were applied as a standard for responding. Results showed that the group fed 5% (AG) as
an addition increased daily gain, live weight (1710 gm), decreased feed intake (3320 gm), feed conversion ratio, carcass traits
at the end experimental, those results were increased highly significant (P? 0.05) compared to the control group that received
a control diet without (AG). There were no notable variations in the blood analysis results (P? 0.05) at the conclusion of the
trial period, the economic efficiency of each group was determined. Significant Arabic Gum addition to the control diet (P? 0.05)
improved the general performance of chicks. It could be concluded that the feed supplemented with 5% (AG) lead to lowest value of
feed consumption and obtained the highest performance and total profit.
