Popis: | A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Chlorella vulgaris hydro-alcoholic extract on blood biochemistry and immune organs characteristics in broiler chicken. A total of 128 Vencobb 400, day-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned into four treatment groups having four replicates with eight birds per replicate. A basal diet was formulated in accordance with BIS recommendation and hydro-alcoholic extract of Chlorella vulgaris was added at an inclusion level of 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 per cent respectively to the basal diet to form 4 different treatment diets. After 42 days of experimental feeding trial, one bird from each replicate was sacrificed to study blood biochemical parameters and immune organs status. The results of the present study indicated that the birds fed with 0.4 percent C. vulgaris extract in their diet showed significantly higher WBC (P |
