Abstract
Effects of Multivitamins and Enzymes on Growth Performance and Hematological Parameters of Broilers at Meherpur in Bangladesh
Highlights
In Bangladesh, livestock contributes 2.73% of total GDP (Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics)
Group T2 was treated with supplementation of 0.5gm vitamins/liter drinking water and Group T3 was treated with supplementation of 1gm enzymes plus 0.5gm vitamins/liter drinking water
The increased rate of body weight gain in the treated groups might be due to an increased feed intake, feed consumption, utilization, digestion, absorption and metabolism of supplied feed nutrient specially protein essential for their health and body weight gain
Summary
In Bangladesh, livestock contributes 2.73% of total GDP (Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics). About 15% of her total population suffers from malnutrition due to deficiency of calorie and protein [1]. The availability of animal protein in the country is only 7.6g [2], against the FAO recommendation of 28g. Poultry sub-sector is an important avenue to reduce the gap between demand and supply of animal protein. Enzyme and multivitamin protect deficiency diseases and stimulate growth rate. Enzyme supplement along with multivitamin reduces mortality, keep birds healthy, increase feed intake, improve digestion and feed conversion rate. Most of the feed ingredients contain some anti-nutritional factors and indigestible part, which hinders feed utilization and bird’s performance
