Variations in haematological and serum indices of finishing broiler birds fed neem (Azadirachta indica) and garlic (Allium sativum) as phytobiotics

One hundred and eighty day-old Cobb broiler chickens were used to evaluate the effects of feeding diets containing neem leaf meal (NLM), garlic (GM) their combination (NLM + GM) on haematological serum indices finishing broiler. The birds divided into twelve treatment groups fifteen chicks with three replicate five each. contained NLM, GM NLM at four levels inclusion; Omg/kg, 500mg/kg, 1000mg/kg 1500mg/kg. experiment was arranged in a 3 x 4 factorial layout completely randomized design (CRD). inclusion did not significantly (P>0.05) influence parameters. Different (P<0.05) influenced absolute interaction additives observed most studied. NLM+GM 500mg/kg showed highest PCV value. Highest Hb RBC values fed total protein albumin levels. Lowest amounts (8.88mg/dl) (2.20mg/dl) recorded 1500mg/kg compared those Omg/kg level..Additives affected cholesterol value birds. There reduction (93.38mg/dl) HDL (52.57mg/dl) than these GM. Significant interactions alanine aminotransferase (ALI), urea, low density lipoprotein (LDL) values. It evident that different blood picture chickens.
