Effect of toasted Adenanthera paavonina seed meal on haematology and blood chemistry of finisher broilers
Abstract
The effect of graded levels of toasted Adenanthera pavonina seed meal (TAPSM) on haematological and biochemical indices of finisher broilers was investigated in a five-week feeding trial with 84 5-week old broilers divided into four groups of 21 birds per group. Each group had three replicates of 7 birds. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 0, 10, 20 and 30% TAPSM, represented as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Birds were allocated to the four diets in a completely randomized design and housed in a deep litter pen. Feed and water were offered to birds ad libitum. Haematological parameters showed a significant (P<0.05) decreasing trend in haemoglobin (10.20, 9.03, 8.60 and 7.63 g/dl), packed cell volume (28.33, 26.10, 25.60 and 25.20%), total red blood cell (4.23, 4.00, 3.99 and 3.99 ×106/µl), mean corpuscular volume (66.97, 65.25, 64.16 and 63.15fl) mean corpuscular haemoglobin (24.11, 22.57, 21.55 and 19.12pg) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (35.66, 34.59, 33.59 and 30.27%) with an increase in the level of TAPSM in the diets. Total white blood cells (71.76, 73.40, 75.07 and 76.17 ×103/µl) increased significantly (P<0.05) as TAPSM level increased. The values were urea (4.00, 5.00, 6.67 and 10.00mg/dl), creatinine (0.33, 0.25, 0.43 and 0.46mg/dl), cholesterol (149.67, 135.67, 113.67 and 102.67mg/dl), total protein (3.33, 3.43, 2.97 and 2.50mg/dl), glucose (146.14, 208.49, 179.66 and 135.33mg/dl), alkaline phosphatase (145.00, 132.67, 111.20 and 105.65 iu/l) and aspartate transaminase (85.67, 78.00, 70.00 and 68.68iu/l). In conclusion, 10% TAPSM in broiler diets most favourably influenced haematological and biochemical parameters.
