Effect of Dietary inclusion of Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) powder on blood parameters of Broilers

Abstract

Experiment was conducted on 72 day old chicks of same hatch upto six weeks of age to investigate the effect of Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) powder on the hematological parameters of broilers. Chicks were randomly divided into four groups 18 chicks in each. Control group received standard broilers diet. Chicks in second, third, fourth group received standard broilers diet supplemented with the Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) powder @ 0.00% (control), 0.50% (Yeast), 0.50% (Aloe vera), and 0.50% Yeast + 0.50% Aloe vera were incorporated into the basal diet for six weeks. At the end of experiment nine broilers from each group should be selected, sacrificed and blood samples should be collected with the help of anticoagulant for determination of hematological parameters. Results revealed a significant effect of Aloe vera and Yeast powder in feeds on mean heterophill (P<0.05) were significantly on feed supplemented with 0.50% Yeast + 0.50% Aloe vera powder. It was concluded from this study that 0.50% Yeast + 0.50% Aloe vera powder feed supplemented has a beneficial impact on the growth performance of broilers chicks.
