Abstract

SUMMARY       The aim of the present study was to estimate the effects of graphene nanoparticles (GNaPs) as a water supplementation on broiler chickens growth performance, carcass characteristics and bone measurements at five weeks of age. In total, 150 1 day old Cobb 500 mixed sex broiler chicks were used in 5 treatments (30 chicks each), within 3 replicates and 10 chicks per each replicate. The experimental drinking water were prepared using (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 ppm GNaPs).  At the end of the experiment 4 birds of each treatment were slaughtered to estimate carcass characteristics and bone measurements. The results showed that: 1-                   Productive performance (LBW, BWG and FI) increased significantly for birds received 10 ppm GNaPs in drinking water, on the other hand, FCR didn't differ between treatments. 2-                   All carcass traits (carcass%, giblets% and total edible parts%)  and carcass cuts (breast%, thigh%, drumstick% and wing%) were numerically higher for birds received 10 ppm GNaPs in drinking water. 3-                   Tibia measurements weren't affected significantly by different levels of GNaPs in drinking water except tibia breaking strength and ash%. In conclusion, supplemented 10 ppm graphene nanoparticles in broiler drinking water can improve growth performance without negative effect on carcass characteristics or bone measurements.
