EFFECTS OF ENZYME AND VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTATIONON LIVE WEIGHT AND HEMATO-BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN BROILER
Abstract
The experiment was conducted on ‘‘Savar star Bro” broiler chicks to evaluate the effect of
exogenous enzymes and multivitamins supplementation on physical appearance, body weight
andhemato-biochemical parameters. A total of day old 80 broiler chickswere randomly divided
into four equal groups namely as A, B, C and D. Each group consists of 20 broiler chicks. Group
A was considered as control and fed only with commercial ration. The other groups (B, C and D)
were fed same as control group and also supplemented with 1 gm enzymes/ liter of drinking
water, 0.5 gm multivitamins/ liter of drinking water and 1 gm enzymes +0.5 gm
multivitamins/liter of drinking water, respectively from the day 14 to day 35 of experiment.The
values of body weight and hemato-biochemical parameters were found more or less similar on
pretreatment (day 14). But on the post treatment, the values body weight, TEC, Hb, PCV were
increased significantly (p<0.01) with days of getting treatment in the group B, C, D. The
hemoglobin values of groups A, B, C and D were found as 7.64 gm%, 8.38 gm%, 8.76 gm% and
9.08 gm% respectively on post treatment. The values of PCV in group A, B, C and D were 27.99
%, 30.24 %, 30.80 %, and 31.08 % respectively. The values of ESR of birds treated with 1 gm
vitamin and 0.5 gm multivitamins were decreased significantly (p<0.01) in group D (1.50 mm in
1
st
hour) and C (1.98
mm in 1
hour) compared to other groups A (2.40 mm in 1
st
hour), B (2.29 mm in 1
st
st
hour) on post treatment. The values of SGOT (Serum glutamic oxaloacetic
transaminase) of group D (2.56 U/L) decreased significantly (p<0.05) compared to other group A
(3.41 U/L), B (3.30 U/L) and C (2.88 U/L) on the post treatment. The lowest values of
SGPT(Serum Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase) were observed (p<0.01) in the group D (4.42
U/L) than others group A (6.36 U/L), B (4.59 U/L) and C (4.57 U/L).Therefore,
additionalenzymes and multivitamins may be used to get better performance like body weight
and hemato-biochemical parameters of broiler chicken.
