This research was carried out at Al-Moostafawi farm which is located in the Mahaweel district /Babylon governorate to investigate the effect supplementation of different concentrations with anise seeeds (Pimpinella anisum L.) powder to drinking water in productive performance of broiler chicken during the period from 13th July to 6 Sept.

/2009 , by using (240) broiler chicks (Hubbard Classic) at one day old which have been randomly distributed to four treatments by 2 replication per treatmtment (30 chicks per replication) .The treatments were with the following concentration : 0, 500, 750 and 1000 mg of anise seeds powder /litre drinking water as first, second, third and fourth treatments respectively.These treatments were applied during the entire period of experiment (8 weeks) for study some productive characters of broiler chicken.

The results were revealed that anise seeds powder supplementation treatments (T2, T3 and T4) to the drinking water lead to high significant increase (p < 0.01) in body weight at age (4 , 8 weeks) , accumulative gain weight and accumulative feed consumption during (1 day - 4 weeks) , (1 day - 8 weeks) as compared with control treatment (T1) , significant increase (p < 0.05) in accumulative feed conversion coefficient during (1 day - 4 weeks) , (1 day - 8 weeks) and total mortality percentage as compared with control treatment , significant increase (p < 0.05) in dressing percentage with edible giblets and accumulative water consumption during (1 day - 4 weeks) , (1 day - 8 weeks) as compared with control treatment .The improvement in the productive characters which have been studied were synchronized with increasing anise seeds powder in drinking water whereas the concentration 1000 mg/liter drinking water (T4) was recorded the best means for studied characters as compared with concentrations 750 and 500 mg / liter drinking water (T3 and T2) respectively .
