Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementing date palm pollen (DPP) and it's aqueous extract (DPPE) on Fayoumi cocks growth performance,  antioxidant status,  immune response, meat quality and economical efficiency. A total number of 180 – day old cocks, were divided to 6 groups, each had 30 chicks in 3 replicates. The 1st group was fed a basal diet (Control group), 2nd group was fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.0125% Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), 3rd and 4th groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.1% and 0.3% DPP, respectively and 5th and 6th groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.1% and 0.3% DPPE, respectively. The growth trail lasted for 12 weeks of age. The results obtained reveal that chicks fed either 0.1% DPP (T3) or 0.1% DPPE (T5) recorded an improvement in final live weight by 4.93% and 2.88%  as well as enhancing feed conversion ratio during overall period (1-12 wks) by 6.94% and 2.02% respectively compared to control. While, Newcastle disease virus titer did not affected significantly by any supplementation studied. Chicks fed dietary 0.0125% BHT, 0.1% DPP and 0.1% DPPE recorded significantly lower serum total cholesterol compared to control group.  All groups recorded a significant decline in MDA values in chicks' tissue in relative to control. In opposite, total antioxidant capacity in tissue was increased significantly by 5.05% and 7.03% in T3 and T5, respectively relative to the control. Chicks fed 0.0125% BHT, 0.1% DPP and 0.1% DPPE achieved significantly higher hemoglobin values compared to control. Finally, two groups of T3 (0.1% DPP) and T5 (0.1% DPPE) recorded the highest economical return being (118.8%) and (102.15%), respectively compared to control.

Conclusion: supplementing Fayoumi cocks diet with either 0.1% DPP or DPPE could enhance performance, antioxidant status, meat quality as well as increasing economical profit.
