Effects of dietary supplementation of red ginseng root powder on performance, immune system, caecal microbial population and some blood parameters in broilers

The aim of the research was to determine effects red ginseng root powder on performance, immune system, caecal microbial population and some blood parameters in broilers. A total 224 daily Ross 308 male broiler chicks were divided into one control group three experimental groups each containing 56 chicks. Red added diets at level 0, 75, 150 225 mg/kg, respectively. period 38 days. There no differences growth performance. Addition mg/kg increased relative weight percentages spleen gizzard (P<0.05).
