Abstract
The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of in ovo injection with either Iron Nano Particles (INPs) or Iron Methionine (IM) and add them as nutritional supplements on productive and physiological performance of Maamaura chicken strains. Total number of 720 fertile eggs from Maamaura chicken strain was used in this study. Eggs were randomly divided in to 6 treatments as follows: T1 (control; without injection), T2 (injected 0.1 ml with concentrated saline 9.0%), T3 (injected 0.1 ml with concentrated 25 ppm of iron methionine, T4 (injected 0.1 ml concentrated with 25 ppm iron methionine nano particles/egg, T5 (added of 20 mg iron methionine per 1kg to feed chicks after hatch and T6 (added of 5 mg iron methionine nano-particles per 1kg to feed chick after hatch). Live body weight was taken at day old and every two weeks to the end of the experiment. Feed intake was determined every two weeks, hatchability, mortality percentages and chick weight at hatch were determined. Some blood parameters and carcass traits were determined at the end of experiment. These results revealed that treatments applied showed highly significant (p>0.0001) effect on live body weight and feed intake at all period of experiment, except during the period of iron addition for feed intake. T3 and T4, respectively significantly (p>0.0001) increased in body weight, hatchability percentage, body weight hatch and decreased embryo mortality. Treatments applied had highly significant (p> 0.0001) effect on all blood parameters and all carcass traits. Birds of T3 and T4 respectively significantly increased plasma total protein, albumin, cholesterol and triglycerides. Iron (Fe), HDL, LDL, and ALT while T3 and T4 respectively decreased significantly plasma AST. T3 and T4 respectively increased significantly in all absolute and relative weight of carcass traits except relative weight of liver and gizzard.
Key words: In ovo injection, Nano iron; Iron methionine; Growth performance; Physiological performance.
