Abstract:

This research was conducted at the Animal Production Research Center of Video, (Faculty of Agriculture, Tishreen University), to study the effect of adding different concentrations of vitamin E and selenium to the drinking water on fertilization rate of the brown type of the local Syrian chicken. Results showed no significant differences in egg weight when adding concentrations of mixture of Vitamin E and Se, compared with the control over 150 days after collection of eggs post reaching the sexual maturity. Where the highest value of mean of egg weight was about 51.26 g when the mixture was added by the concentration (0.3 g E + 0.6 mg Se). The lowest value was (50.21 g), when the mixture was added in the concentration of (0.2g E + 0.4 mg Se). While the control and the treatment of (0.1 g E + 0.2 mg Se) reached about 50.25g and 50.24 g, respectively. On the other hand, it was found that there were significant differences between the different concentrations of the previous mixture and the control with respect to the number of eggs and the fertilization rate during the same previous period. Where the highest value of the mean of egg number was about (80.67 egg) when the mixture was added at the concentration of (0.3 g E + 0.6 mg Se), and the lowest ratio was (71.00 egg) at (0.1 g E + 0.2 mg Se). While at the control and the concentration of (0.2 g E + 0.4 mg Se), it reached about (70.00 and 74.00 egg), respectively. It was also found that the highest mean of fertilization rate was recorded when the previous antioxidants were added at the concentration of (0.3 g E + 0.6 mg Se), where it attained about (90.10 %). Whereas the lowest one was about (80.20 %) by the concentration of (0.1 g E + 0.2 mg Se). While at the control and the concentration of (0.2 g E + 0.4 mg Se), it was about (80.67 and 85.10%), respectively.

Keywords:
