This study was conducted to investigate the effect of water supported by dissolved oxygen in the drinking water of broilers, in their performance and some chemical blood traits. A total of 90 birds one-day old of the Ross308 were used. At The week the birds were distributed randomly in 3 groups with 3 replicates / group (10 birds / replicate). The first included T1: T2 and T3: Oxygen-supported drinking water at a rate of 2 hours /2 times/ day, 2 hours /3 times / day in succession. The results showed that drinking water with oxygen resulted in a significant increase in the mean body weight and weight increase and a significant improvement in the food conversion coefficient with a significant decrease in the feed consumption rate especially in the treatment (T3 when exposed birds three times a day (T3) T1 and T2, with significant decrease in serum glucose and cholesterol concentration in T2 and T3 compared with T1, and no significant differences were observed between the experimental parameters in total protein concentration and AST and ALT activity. These results indicate that oxygenated watering can be used as a tool to improve growth and physiological performance in broiler production .
