The experiment aimed to study the effect of adding vinegar to drinking water on the productive characteristics of broiler chickens.

The experiment was conducted in a poultry house in Tripoli, during the period from 05/25/2018 until 07/05/2018.

60 chicks one-day-old broiler with an average weight of 40 grams of breed (Ross 308), supplied by Al-Dhahabia Poultry Company.

The chicks were randomly distributed into two treatments with 30 birds per group.

The experiment studied the addition of vinegar to drinking water at a dose of (5 ml per liter) of water, compared with the control, the results showed a significant increase (p>0.05) in live body weight and weight gain rates, a significant improvement in nutritional efficiency and superiority in the weight and thickness of the chest muscle of the birds that consumed water with vinegar.

compared to the control birds, while there were no significant differences in the amount of feed consumed and the length and width of the chest muscle between the two treated birds.

The results also showed a higher level of cholesterol in the blood serum of the birds of the vinger acid group compared to the control group, we conclude that vinegar can be added to drinking water in particular in the summer as a growth stimulant to improve the production indicators of broiler chickens.
