Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of adding vitamin A and different levels of chlorophyll extract to
reducing negative effects of aflatoxin B1 on the production performance of Lohman Brown chickens at animal
production farm belong to college of agriculture / University of Anbar from 1/2/2021 to 20/6/2021. Eighty-four
laying hens were used, aged 24 weeks distributed randomly into seven treatments with four replicates per
treatment (3 hens/replicate). The treatments of the experiment were as followed; T1 / control ration without any
addition, T2 was treated with aflatoxin (B1) of 200 mg / kg of feed, T3 included addition vitamin A at 200 mg / kg,
T4 addition chlorophyll extract 200 mg / kg of feed, T5 addition chlorophyll extract 100 mg / kg of feed + aflatoxin
(B1) 200 mg / kg, T6 addition chlorophyll extract 200 mg / kg of feed + aflatoxin (B1) 200 mg / kg, T7 addition
chlorophyll extract 300 mg / kg of feed + aflatoxin (B1) 200 mg / kg. The results showed the superiority of addition
treatment (chlorophyll extract 300 mg / kg of feed) in productive traits during the production period (24-39) weeks
compared with T1and T2. Also, results indicated that birds fed diets treated with aflatoxin B1 recorded lowest
values in productive performance. Moreover, chlorophyll proved that it can enhanced productive performance for
laying hens and decrease negative role aflatoxin B1 in feeds.
