Effect of Moringa oleifera aqueous leaf extract and ascorbic acid supplementation on carcass characteristic and production cost analysis of broiler chicken

A study was conducted to investigate carcass traits and production efficiency of broiler chicken. The experiment was conducted for a period of 35 days on 135 birds divided in to three different treatment groups of 45 birds each T1 group which served as control were fed only as basal ration. Birds in T2 group were fed basal ration with MOALE (90 ml/L drinking water) and T3 group were offered basal ration with ascorbic acid (15 mg/L drinking water). The Carcass characteristics of treatment on relative weight of liver, heart, gizzard, intestine, spleen, bursa, giblet percentage, dressing percentage and eviscerated percentage in broiler chicken were shown non-significant (P>0.05) changes where as relative weight of abdominal fat was significantly differed (P
