Article Description

The present study investigated the influence of supplementing beetroot (Beta vulgaris rubra) powder and its aqueous extract on growing goose's carcass quality and carcass measurements. One hundred eighty one-day-old goslings chicks of Chinese white geese were randomly distributed among five treatment groups containing three replicates of 12 birds each. Five experimental diets were formulated as follows: Control diet without supplementation (T1). T2 and T3, the beetroot extract was supplemented at 15 and 30 (ml/ L) in drinking water; 15, and 30 (g/kg) beetroot powder (T4, T5) in basal diet, respectively. Results indicate that the use of beetroot significantly improved all traits of the studied goose carcass compared to the control treatment, the addition of the aqueous extract at a concentration of 15 ml/ liter of drinking water and beetroot powder at a concentration of 15 g to the feed gave the best results and significantly compared to the rest of the treatments.
