Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of magnetic water on growth performance, carcass traits, blood metabolites and immunity of Zaraibi kids. Fifteen Zaraibi male kids after weaning at 4 months of age were divided randomly into three groups (each of five kids). The first group was drinking tap water (control). The second group was drinking magnetic water (T1, 2000 gauss). The third group was drinking magnetic water (T2, 4000 gauss). The experiment duration lasted for 140 days during which the weight of the kids was measured every two weeks, and feeding and drinking were estimated. Body weight changes (BW) were recorded biweekly during 140 days of experimental period while, average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated. Three males were randomly selected from each group after the end of the experiment for slaughter and carcass traits evaluation. Blood samples were collected and analyzed at the end of experiment (slaughtering time) from all kids. Results showed that there were significant (P
