During the period of October 20, 2023, to November 25, 2023, a study was conducted in a local field in Nasiriya District/ Dhi Qar Governorate to ascertain how the kind of diet and the water quality affect the dressing percentage and the relative weights of the edible internal organs (heart, liver, and gizzard). In broiler chickens, both male and female. The following six treatments, each consisting of three replicates, were randomly assigned to 300 sexed one-day-old chicks, with an average weight of 40 grams, for a period of 35 days:
Drinking tap water and using mash feed for control constitute the first therapy. Providing drinking water (tap water) and pellet feed (control) is the second treatment. The third treatment involves giving out magnetized drinking water and mash meal. Providing magnetized drinking water and pellet feed is the fourth treatment. Providing drinking water (RO) and mash feed is the fifth treatment. The sixth treatment is providing pellet feed and drinking water (RO).
The treatment of RO water and magnetized water was superior in the percentage of filtration and the relative weight of the heart, liver, and gizzard over the liquefaction water treatment, as demonstrated by the findings, which indicated a substantial superiority (p0.05) for the quality of drinking water. Regarding fodder, the findings indicated a noteworthy rise in the heart's relative weight, but had no impact on the liver's or gizzards relative weight or the clearance rate.
