The study was carried out in one of the local fields in Nasiriyah District, Dhi Qar Governorate, from October 20 to November 25, 2023. To investigate the influence of feed and water quality on the concentration of certain mineral components in the blood serum of male and female broilers, I produced 300 one-day-old, sexed chicks and divided them into six treatments, each with three replicates. The study found that drinking water with RO had significantly higher levels of sodium (p≤0.05) than other water parameters. While there was no effect of the form of food or the sex of the broilers on the experimental parameters, Magnetic and RO water significantly outperformed Tap water in terms of calcium content in broiler blood serum (p≤0.05), Feed type and sex had no effect on the results of the study. The RO water treatment outperformed magnetized and Tap water treatments (p≤0.05) in terms of chloride content in male and female broiler blood serum. The form of feed and gender had no significant effect on the above-mentioned element concentration.
