The present work was designed to investigate the effects of mixing hot
pepper and fenugreek on broiler. A total of 150 unsexed seven day old Cubb broiler
chicks were randomly distributed into five treatment of 30 chicks each , in three
replicates ( 10 chicks per each replicate) for each experiment, birds fed starter diets
containing 23 % CP and grower diets containing 21 % CP . Five experimental diets
were formulated to contain ( Control diets (T1 ) , 2 % hot pepper ( T 2) ,1.5 % hot
pepper + 0.5 % fenugreek ( T3 ) , 1 % hot pepper + 1 % fenugreek ( T4 ) and 0.5 %
hot pepper + 1.5 Fenugreek ( T5 ) ) . Results of this study indicated that adding 2% of hot pepper gave the best body weight and body weight gain compared with other treatments. Hot pepper significantly reduce abdominal fat, total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides ,
glucose , calcium and GOT . These results indicate that addition of hot pepper and
fenugreek to foods could reduce adiposity. There were no significant effect on total
protein, albumin, GPT and phosphorus in blood serum with different treatment. It is suggested that fenugreek and hot pepper could be used individually but not
together to improve the performance of broiler chicks.
