Özet
This study was conducted to determine the effect of zinc on the productive performances, carcass\ryield and blood profiles of broilers. Experiment was done for a period of 35 days with a number of\r60, day old broiler chicks. Birds were divided into four dietary treatment groups with 3 replications\reach having 5 birds per replication. The dietary treatment groups were; T0 (basal diet; no zinc), T1\r(basal diet + 50 mg zinc/kg feed), T2 (basal diet + 100 mg zinc/kg feed), T3 (basal diet + 150 mg\rzinc/kg feed). Results revealed that body weight and body weight gain were significantly increased\rin the zinc supplemented group compared to the control group. Higher feed intake and better FE\rwere also observed in the zinc supplemented group than the control group and the best performance\rwas observed in the group fed 150mg zinc/kg feed (T3). Carcass yield was significantly higher in\rthe groups fed dietary zinc. Net profit was slightly higher in the T3 group but not significantly\r(P.0.05) differed with the control group. However, T1 and T2 showed less profit even than the\rcontrol group. Blood profile of the experimental birds including Hb, PCV, and ESR did not\rsignificantly differ among the groups. The results indicate that the addition of zinc in the broiler\rdiet improves productive performances, carcass yield and increases net profit without affecting the\rhealth status of broiler. So, zinc can be used as an effective and useful micronutrient to improve the\rperformances of broiler
