Abstract :

 

Medicinal plants help to absorb nutrients and stimulate appetite in poultry. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oyster mushroom and bacto-gen probiotics on blood parameters in broiler chickens. A total of 360-day-old commercial broiler chicks (Ross 308) in the factorial design of 2*5 with two levels of probiotics (zero and 0.04%) and five levels of oyster mushrooms (zero, 1, 2, 3, and 4 percent) in a randomized complete design. were distributed randomly into ten groups and three repetitions with 12 chickens in per pen. The chickens had the same environmental and management conditions as the experimental groups and fed special diets for each treatment for 42 days. The results showed that mushroom level had no significant effect on LDL, HDL, TG, RBC, HCT, HB, lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil and eosinophil, but significantly decreased cholesterol, heterophil, heterophil to lymphocyte ratio and increased significantly WBC (P>0.05). Probiotic inclusion had no significant effect on HDL, RBC, HCT, HB, monocyte, eosinophil and basophil, but significantly decreased TG, LDL, heterophil, heterophil to lymphocyte ratio, cholesterol and increased significantly WBC and lymphocyte count (P>0.05). Therefore, it was concluded that the addition of edible mushrooms and probiotic bacto-genes to the diet of broiler chickens increases beneficial intestinal flora, stimulates growth, produces healthy products and uses less antibiotics in broiler diet.
