Abstract: This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of different dietary supplementation levels of zinc oxide and of an organic acid blend on broiler performance, carcass traits, and serum parameters. A total of 2400 one-day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks, with average initial body weight 44.21±0.19g, was distributed according to a completely randomized design in a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement. Six treatments, consisting of diets containing two zinc oxide levels (0 and 0.01% of the diet) and three organic … Show more

“…This is in agreement with Sarvari et al, (2015), who reported that serum parameters were not affected by ZnO. Higher blood total protein levels may be explained by the increase in the digestion time with slower passage time of feed in the digestive tract owing to the action of organic Zn since it plays a major role in the body enzyme system, physiology, metabolism and growth and it is necessary to promote protein synthesis (Berger, 2006).…”

“…The current results demonstrated that there were non-significant (P>0.05) differences among treatments for plasma total protein, albumin, globulin and their ratio (A/G ratio). These results are in agreement with those obtained by Sarvari et al (2015) who reported that the effects of dietary zinc oxide on total protein and albumen were non-significant. Likewise, Barman et al (2009) did not report any significant effect of different dietary zinc supplementation level on serum protein.…”

“…About plasma total lipid and triglycerides, there was a numerical decrease for zinc oxide treatment (T3). These results are in agreement with, Sarvari et al (2015) who reported that the effects of dietary zinc oxide on plasma cholesterol and triglycerides were nonsignificant. On contrary, Ahmadi et al (2013) represented that zinc oxide nanoparticles had resulted in low triglycerides and total cholesterol.…”
