Abstract

The present work aimed to study the effect of magnetic and oxygenated water on immune response and production performance (body weight, feed intake, and mortality). A total of 270 one-day-old Cobb chickens were randomly divided into three treatment groups (T₁), with chickens drinking natural water as a control without any variations. (T₂) chickens received magnetic water; (T₃) chickens received oxygenated water. Body weight, feed intake, and mortality percentage were determined every week to the end of the experiment. Blood immunological parameters (Gamburo, Newcastle, H5N1, H9N1 and globulin titers), were determined at the 14, 21, 28 days of age and the end of the experiment (35 days). Also, some carcass traits were weighed. The results showed that T₂and T₃ significantly increased body weight and decreased feed conversion at different ages compared to the control group. The blood analysis obtained that T₂ and T₃ substantially enhance antibody titer response compared to the control group, hence, an improvement in immunity. The improvement was found in carcass traits in the treated groups compared to the control.
