Intoxication Induced by Urea Containing Diets in Broiler Chickens: Effect on Weight Gain, Feed Conversion Ratio, Hematological and Biochemical Profiles

Urea as a source of cheap non-protein nitrogen is used to adulterate fish and meat meals which are basic components broiler diets. The present study was carried out elucidate the effects urea on weight gain, hematological biochemical profiles. A total 48 chicks were randomly allotted into 4 groups, designated Groups 1, 2, 3 12 birds each. Birds in fed diets containing at levels 1%, 2.5% 4%, respectively. Group 1 served control not exposed urea. Experimentation period for weeks experiment terminated when 42 days age. Body all intoxicated various intervals significantly decreased comparison with that untreated control. Compared control, broilers manifested significant (P ≤ 0.05) decrease parameters involving erythrocytic leucocytic counts, Hemoglobin (Hb) Packed Cell Volume (PCV) dose- time-pattern. In levels, profile disclosed blood glucose level increase serum uric acid, urea, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. Based upon data, it concluded addition bears serious sequences concerning general health condition, performance,
