Abstract:The present study investigated the effect of a phytogenic feed additive (PFA) formulated with Aerva lanata, Piper betle, Cynodon dactylon and Piper nigrum on the haematological and serum biochemical profiles in broiler chicken, and its efficacy to improve quality and oxidative stability of chicken meat. In a six-week experiment, a total of 192 day-old broiler chicks were subjected to four dietary treatments that included, basal diet+ chlortetracycline; only basal diet without chlortetracycline and PFA; and bas… Show more
