Haematology and serum biochemistry of starter broiler chickens fed Malted Sorghum Sprout (MSP) or wheat-offal based diets supplemented with yeast culture and enzyme

An experiment was conducted to determine the haematology and serum  biochemistry of starter broilers fed malted sorghum sprouts (MSP) or wheat offal (W/O)-based diets supplemented with yeast culture and enzyme. A total of two hundred and forty day- old, unsexed Marshal Broiler chickens used for the experiment were randomly allotted to 8 dietary treatment groups of 30 birds each. Each treatment group was replicated thrice with 10 birds per replicate. Data on selected blood indices of the birds were collected at the end of the course of the feeding trial that lasted for 4 weeks. The experiment was a 2X4 factorial consisting of two (2) test ingredients (MSP and wheat offal) at 4 inclusion levels of enzyme or yeast (0g kg-1, +0.01gkg-1 yeast and Roxazyme G2(G) enzyme, + 0.01gkg-1 yeast, + Roxazyme G2(G) enzyme. At the end of the trial, the effect of MSP and wheat offal inclusion showed a significant effect (P<0.05) for uric acid and ALT. However, uric acid, total protein, Albumin and Globulin were highest for wheat offal diet. Furthermore, the results show that values obtained for PCV,RBC, WBC, uric acid, total protein, albumin, globulin, creatinine, ALT & AST were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the enzyme, yeast and their combination. In conclusion, supplementation with yeast + enzyme improves total protein, albumin and globulin by broiler chickens. Therefore MSP diet should be supplemented with yeast+ enzyme or enzyme singly to improve Livestock ration for better utilisation and optimum performance.

Au total, deux cent quarante poussins de chair Marshal âges d’un jour utilises pour cette experience ont ete repartis de maniere aleatoire a 8 groupes de traitement  dietetique de 30 oiseaux chacun. Chaque groupe de traitement a ete replique trois fois, avec 10 oiseaux par repetition. Les donnees sur certains indices sanguins des oiseaux ont ete recueillies a la fin de l’essai alimentaire qui a dure 4 semaines. L’experience etait un dispositif factoriel 2X4 constitue de deux (2) ingredients a tester (MSP et sons de ble) a 4 niveaux d’inclusion d’enzymes ou de levure (0g kg-1, +0,01gkg-1 levure et Roxazyme G2 (G) enzyme, + 0,01gkg-1 de levure, + Roxazyme G2(G) enzyme. A la fin de l’essai alimentaire, l’effet du MSP et de l’inclusion de sons de ble a montre un effet significatif (P <0,05) pour l’acide urique et les ALT. Cependant, l’acide urique, la proteine totale, l’albumine et la globuline  etaient plus eleves pour le regime aux sons de ble. En outre, les resultats montrent que les valeurs obtenues pour le PCV, le RBC, le WBC, l’acide urique, la proteine  totale, l’albumine, la globuline, la creatinine, l’ALT et l’AST etaient significativement (P<0,05) affectees par l’enzyme, la levure et leur combinaison. En conclusion, la supplementation en levure + enzyme ameliore la proteine totale, l’albumine et la globuline chez les poulets de chair, donc le regime MSP doit etre complete avec de la levure + enzyme ou l’enzyme uniquement afin d’ameliorer la ration des poulets pour une meilleure utilisation et une performance optimale.
