BIOCHEMICAL STUDY OF BLOOD IN BROILER FED THIAMIN IN THEIR DIET

Abstract

ABSTRACT210 one day old broiler chicks were used in this study. They were divided in to two groups. The first kept on commercial diet as (control); the second group was given thiamin (vit. Bl) in dose 10 mg /bird was added to same commercial diet. Glucose concentrations, total cholesterol, total protein and the activity of the blood enzymes were determined. Results revealed a significant (p<0.05) increase in the glucose concentrations, total cholesterol and total serum protein due to thiamin addition. However, no significant effect(p>0.05) for this vitamin on the blood enzymes activity. The physiological impact of these changes were discussed.
