Abstract:
Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of bakery waste incorporation on the blood biochemical and immune parameters of broiler chicken. Two hundred and forty day-old chicks were randomly divided into five dietary treatments: Control, T1, T2, T3 and T4 having 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% bakery waste as maize replacement respectively. Blood biochemical parameters and immune parameters were analysed during the trial. The blood biochemical parameters viz. total protein, albumin, globulin, albumin-globulin ratio, cholesterol, triglycerides, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT) were estimated in serum using “ERBA Diagnostic Kits” and were statistically similar (p>0.05) as well in the normal physiological range indicating no adverse effect of bakery waste utilisation on the health of broiler chicken. Likewise, the cell mediated immune response and the humoral immune response did not show any significant (p>0.05) difference. Thus, this study shows that the use of bakery waste as maize replacer upto 20% in broiler ration supports the physiological growth of broiler chicken.
Highlights
- Bakery waste can be used to replace maize in broiler ration
- Successful utilisation of bakery waste is indicated by absence of adverse effects on blood and immune parameters.
