This experiment was aimed to study the effect of adding vinegar to drinking water on the productive and physiological performance of broiler.

A total of ninety (one day old), non sexed chicks of Ross strain were randomly allocated to three treatments and each treatment consists of 30 birds with 3 replicates (10 birds each).

The treatments were: Treatment 1 (T1): Control, reared on standard ration and tap water.

Treatment 2 (T2): reared on standard ration and tap water supplement with vinegar (2.5 ml/Liter).

Treatment 3 (T3): reared on standard ration and tap water supplement with vinegar (5.0 ml/Liter).

The results revealed a significant increase (P < 0.05) in live body weight, accumulative body weight gain and feed conversion ratio, and significant decrease in mortality percentage of treatment T3 (Drinking water with 5.0 ml/L vinegar) compared with treatment T2 (Drinking water with 2.5 ml/L vinegar) and Treatment T1 (Control).

Also, no -significant effect were observed among treatment in PCV, WBC, RBC, Hb, H/L and glucose, Total Protein, albumin and Cholesterol concentration of plasma.

In conclusion, supplementation of vinegar (5.0 ml/Liter drinking water) in current Study lead to, significant improvement in chickens productive performance and health.
