EFFECT OF LEAF EXTRACT ON THE PERFORMANCE AND SOME BLOOD PARAMETERS OF BOILER CHICKEN-FINISHER

Project Abstract

<p>The study was conducted to know the effect of leaf extracts bitter leaf, Awolowo leaf scent leaf and bridelia leaf on the performance and some blood parameters of broilers finisher chicken. A total of one hundred and thirty unsexed Marshall` broilers chicken finisher were used during the course of this study which lasted for 4 weeks.<br><br>They were randomly selected and assigned to five treatment growth. The first treatment senled as control with no leaf extracts. Each treatment was replicated three times with nine (9) birds per replicate. Feed and water served adlititum. Data collected were subsectted to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and mean comparison was made using Duncan’s multiple range test. The result of the study revealed that weight gain, feed intake, feed gain ratio and water intake of the birds were not significantly (P&gt;0.05) different from the various treatments.<br><br>The PCV, Neutrophil and lymphocyte was observe to be lower in control when compared to other treatments, this can be attributed to the fact that the leaf extract tend to favour blood parameter. However, the result was different in biochemical parameters which intake that cholesterol, glucose, Trighyceride, LDL and HDL was tend to be higher than other treatments. The leaf extract have effect on the treatments. This study indicate that these aforementioned leaf extract can greatly reduce the level of cholesterol, glucose Trighyceride, LOL and HLD which suggest that it will be beneficial to human inn arresting some aliment such as stroke, heart disease.<br></p>
