Haematological and serum indices of broiler chicken fed graded dietary levels of immunnowall® prebiotic additive
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Haematology and serum indices of ninety-six (96) day-old Agric desk (ROSS 308 strain) broiler birds fed diets containing immunowall® prebiotic additive were evaluated. The birds were randomly allotted to four (4) treatments of graded dietary levels (0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5) g of immunowall® prebiotic additive denoted as; T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively. Each treatment with 24 birds, reared on deep litter system was also replicated three times with 8 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design for 56 days. Haematological parameters evaluated include; Packed cell volume (%), Haemoglobin (g/dl), Red blood cell (x106/mm3), White blood cell (x103/mm3), Neutrophils (%), Lymphophiles(%), Eosinophils (%), Monocytes, Basophils (%), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) (fl), Means Corpuscular Haemoglobin, (MCH) (pg) , Means Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) (g/dl). Serum parameters evaluated were Total Protein (g/dl), Albumin (g/dl), Globulin (g/dl), Cholesterol (mg/dl) and Alkaline Phosphatase. Results showed that immunowall® prebiotic additive significantly (P<0.05) improved the haematological and serum parameters within the normal range values with exception of eosinophils for T2 (4.33%), T3 (3.67%) and T4 (5.33%). This is an indication that broiler chickens fed diets containing 1.50 - 3.00g of immunowall® prebiotic additive enhanced good physiological state of broiler chickens. Further research is suggested in other avian species available in warm wet regions of Nigeria.
