HEMATOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL ASPECT THAT INFLUENCED BY DIETARY FENUGREEK OR/AND ALFA-ALFA IN THE BROILERS

This study, carried out to study the effect of dietary fenugreek, alfalfa and their mixture in broiler diet on some physiological traits and immunity of broilers. The experiment was conducted in special field during a period for 35days. The study involved 120 one-day unsexed Ross 308 chicks , that were divided into four groups (30 birds/group) with three replicated (10 birds/replicate), the first group (control): chicks were fed on a basal diet without addition (G1) ,the second group fed on a basal diet with 2.5 gmfenugreek powder/Kg diet(G2),the third group fed on a basal diet with 2.5 gm alfalfa powder/Kg diet (G3) ,the fourth group was fed on a basal diet with 2.5 gmfenugreek and 2.5 gm alfalfa powder/Kg diet(G4),Blood samples were collected for biochemical parameters at 17thday and 35thday of age .The result revealed there were significant increase (P≤0.05) in total protein,globulin and albumin with a significant decrease(p≤0.05) in the cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein (LDL) while the high density lipoprotein(HDL) recoded a significant increase (p≤0.05), also significant decreases of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) that present in the addition groups as compared with the control, the anti-body titer against New castle disease and infection bursal disease showed a significant increase (P≤0.05)in addition group as compared with the control.
