| Abstract | ||
| The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of adding three levels of Beta-hydroxy-Beta-methylbutyrate Calcium (HMB-Ca) to broiler diet on blood cellular and biochemical parameters. A total of 216, day old Ross-308, unsexed broiler chicks were randomly distributed into 4 treatments with 3 replicates for each (18 chick/replicate). Birds were dietary treated with HMB-Ca from day old until the end of experiment (35 day) as follows: T1control group without any addition, T2: basal diet with 0.1% HMB-Ca, T3: basal diet with 0.15% HMB-Ca and T4: basal diet with 0.2% HMB-Ca. Results showed that adding 0.2%% HMB-Ca to broiler diet resulted in significant (P<0.05) increasing in: MCHC,PCV,Hb and blood sugar whereas total count of red blood cells and its volume and the level of serum total protein didn’t affected significantly. | ||
