Impact of dietary supplementation of cinnamon oil on the oxidative stress indices, immune response and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different levels cinnamon essential oil (CEO) on oxidative stress indices, immune response and intestinal morphology broiler chickens. Day old chicks (n=180) were randomly allocated six dietary groups. Control group (T0) fed basal diet without antibiotic growth promoter (AGP), Group 2 with AGP (T1) while containing graded level CEO (200, 300, 400 500 mg/kg) Groups T2, T3, T4 T5 respectively. Significantly lower concentration Malondialdehyde (MDA) reported in birds supplemented as compared control. increased villi height observed histological section duodenum jejunum due increase No significant change histo-morphology liver supplementation at chicken. It is concluded that @ mg/kg improved chickens any adverse effect.
