Supplementation herbal choline in diets on haematological indices and development of vital organ in broilers

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of supplementation of herbal choline in diets on haematological indices and development of vital organ in broilers. Total three hundred Cobb-400 straight-run day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into five treatment groups with three replicates containing 20 chicks in each and reared up to 6 weeks. The group T1 (control) offered basal diet, while group T2 basal diet with choline chloride-60% @ 1 kg/ton of feed, groups T3, T4 and T5 offered basal diets with herbal choline @ 0.250, 0.350 and 0.500 kg/ton of feed, respectively. The results revealed that the values of haematological parameters at 21st day as well as internal organ weights at 42nd day in all treatment groups were statistically non-significant. The treatment group T5 showed significantly (P
