Effect of Azolla cristata with or without enzyme supplementation on blood biochemistry and intestinal histomorphology of broiler chicken

A study was undertaken to determine the effect of partially replacing soybean protein with Azolla (AZ) or without enzyme on blood biochemistry and intestinal histomorphology broiler chicken. The experiment performed 210 Cobb chicks randomly assigned 7 treatment groups each replicated 3 times 10 birds in replicate. Basal diet offered control (T1) group, whereas replaced 5 (T2), (T3) 15% (T4) AZ other three groups, i.e. T5, T6 T7 contained respective inclusion levels AZ, but were supplemented cocktail enzyme. results revealed that there no statistical difference glucose, cholesterol, protein, SGPT SGOT among various including control. Also a significant villus height (V), crypt depth (C) V/C ratio when compared Highest observed group reduction all wherein included either alone supplementation. It is thus concluded dietary had adverse provided combination supplementation, indicating could be up level chicken any effect.
