Effect of different levels of golden flaxseed ( Linum usitatissimum L.) powder on some blood biochemical parameters in male and female broiler

摘要

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 (P0.05) 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.
