Abstract |
The objective of this
experiment was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of
golden flaxseed powder on some blood quality biochemical in male and
female broiler. A total of 180 unsexed, Ross broiler chicks were
randomly divided into four treatment groups. Chicks in each treatment
group were sub-divided into three replicates (15 chicks for each
replicate). The treatment groups were as follows: T1: Control group; T2:
fed on a diet supplemented with 12% flaxseed; T3: fed on a diet
supplemented with 14% flaxseed; T4: fed on a diet supplemented with 16%
flaxseed.
The result showed that
serum protein and albumin decreased significantly (P<0.05) in male and
female broiler fed with 16% flax seeds. Further AST and ALP increased
significantly (P<0.01) in male and female broiler fed with the highest
level of flaxseed (16%). All other parameters remained unchanged
(P>0.05) between control and experimental groups.
It can
be concluded from the study that the use of flaxseed powder at higher
concentrations in the diet led to a reduction of blood protein and
increased liver enzymes in male and female broiler.
