Abstract
An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect
of five commonly used antistress agents on haemato-biochemical
profiles of broiler and broiler breeder hen. In case
of broiler, significant differences were observed
between treatment groups for haemoglobin
concentration, total RBC and total WBC count, total
blood glucose, total serum protein, total serum
albumin, total alkaline phosphatase activity and
total serum cholesterol level. No definite trend was
observed amongst the treatment groups and control
for total blood glucose content and total alkaline
phosphatase activity. It is apparent that the groups
fed with antistress agents like Stress roak and
Venlyte had lowest serum cholesterol level compared
to other groups. In case of broiler breeder hen
difference between treatment groups were significant
for haemoglobin content, but not for total RBC and
WBC count. Differences between treatment groups
although were not significant statistically for
total serum protein, however differences between
treatment groups were highly significant for total
blood glucose.
Key words: Antistress agents,
Haemato-biochemical profiles, Broiler, Broiler
breeder hen.
