A study was executed to evaluate the influence of supplementation of garlic powder (GP) on production and hematological parameters and serum cholesterol level in the broilers. In total, 240, day old (Ross 308) broiler chicks were purchased and placed in a completely randomized design to one of five treatment groups with each containing 48 broilers. The treatment groups were replicated thrice with each replicate containing 16 broilers. The experimental rations were formulated by supplementing GP at different concentrations of 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6g per kg to the basal diet. The results revealed significantly higher feed intake and body weight gain and improved feed conversion ratio in the broilers fed either 4.5 or 6g of garlic powder supplemented diets. Regarding hematological analysis, the broilers fed GP supplemented diets (6g) has resulted in significantly increased packed cell volume, improved hemoglobin percentage, higher red and white blood cell, platelet and lymphocyte counts, enhanced mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, whereas reduced monocytes and mean corpuscular volume. Serum cholesterol level was reduced significantly in the broilers fed GP supplemented diets compared to control. In short, dietary garlic powder supplementation has resulted in better production performance, higher dressing percentage, improved hematological profile and reduced serum cholesterol level in the broilers.References
