Effect of Different Natural Feed Additives Compared to Antibiotic on Lipid Profile of Broiler Chicks Under High Temperature
Abstract: This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of two different medicinal plants, cumin (Cuminum cyminum), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) as natural feed additives with antibiotic (Doxystin) on the serum lipid profile of broiler chicks. One hundred and sixty, (one day-old) broiler chicks were randomly divided into six groups of similar mean weight, each with four replicates of ten chicks. The control group received broilers basal diet. For the other groups, the basal diet was supplemented with one of the following the antibiotic (Doxystin) as 0.5 % or one of the spices, C. cyminum, T. foenum-graecum as 2 %. Serum lipid profile in the broiler chicks was affected as follows, total cholesterol concentration was significantly (P
