abstract
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of natural vitamin E, vitamin C, choline and herbal liver supplement on serum biochemical parameters of commercial broilers. A total of 150 day-old commercial broiler (Vencobb) chicks were distributed into five treatment groups with three replicates in each group and ten chicks in each replicate. Basal diet (T₁, control) prepared following BIS standards and the experimental diets were prepared by incorporating natural vitamin E, vitamin C, Choline and herbal liver supplement to the treatment groups T₂, T₃, T₄ and T₅, respectively each at 0.1% to the basal diet. The individual serum samples were analyzed for serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum cholesterol and triglycerides using serum biochemical auto analyzer. Results revealed that supplementation of natural vitamin E have significant effect on serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides values, natural vitamin C have significant effect on SGOT, serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides, natural choline have significant effect on SGPT, serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides and herbal liver supplement have significant effect on SGPT, SGOT and serum cholesterol values.
