| Abstract | ||
| Matrouh, Silver Montazah, R.I.R. and W.L. were used in this study. Each strain was divided into 3 treatment groups (0.0%, 0.04% and 0.08% Aflaban in diet). Chicks produced by each of the main 12 groups were divided in term to the three treatments mentioned above. Differences in growth rate, rate of gain and chick viability strain differences in these traits were studied and the results obtained were : 1- Adding the antifungal compound (Aflaban) in parents diet affected growth rate, the rate of gain and viability of their progeny, where progeny of parents fed 0.04% Aflaban in their diet were heavier than other progeny groups. 2 - Progeny fed control diet was heavier than other treatment groups, regardless to parents diet. 3 - Strain differences occurred in these traits and local strains were more efficient and responded to adding the antifungal compound in their diet. | ||
