In order to show the impact of fermented feed including Iraqi bio-enhancer on some immune and physiological aspects of ducks, this study was carried out at one of the domestic duck breeding farms in the Al-Muthanna Governorate between January 14, 2025, and March 10, 2025. I raised 75 one-day-old chicks, each weighing 42 grams on average. The ducklings were created using ingredients from the Diwaniyah Governorate's local markets. In accordance with the experiment's four treatments and the control treatment, the chicks were grown in a closed hall and placed in a group of cages. Three replicates were used for each treatment, and each replicate contained five birds, for a total of fifteen broiler chicks for one treatment. The following were the experimental treatments:
T1: (without any additives)
T2: Second treatment: 25% feed fermented with Iraqi bio-enrichment.+ 75% dry feed
T3: Third treatment: 50% feed fermented with Iraqi bio-enrichment.+ 50% dry feed
T4: Fourth treatment: 75% feed fermented with Iraqi bio-enrichment.+ 25% dry feed
T5: Fifth treatment: 100% feed fermented with Iraqi bio-enrichment The results indicated the following:
