Effect of supplementation of organic zinc on serum biochemistry in broiler breeders

Abstract

A biological trial was conducted to assess the effect of feeding zinc on blood biochemical constituents in broiler breeders. One hundred twenty eight adult healthy broiler breeders were used and these were randomly divided into four groups. The treatments were control (basal diet) and treatment groups were fed with supplementary organic zinc as 20 ppm (T1), 40 ppm (T2) and 60 ppm (T3).The blood sample were collected and plasma biochemical constituents were analysed. In male broilers, higher dose of zinc (T3) fed group showed significantly (P0.05) difference serum phosphorus, triglycerides, alanine transaminase and uric acid. In case of female broilers feeding zinc T3 treatment group showed significantly (P
