Abstract
The experiment was conducted on “Lohman Meat” broiler chicks to evaluate the effect of exogenous multivitamin and
enzyme supplementation on body weight gain, haematological parameters (TEC, Hb content, PCV and ESR) and
serum transaminases (AST and ALT). A total of 20, twenty days old broilers were randomly divided into four equal
groups (5×4). Group A was considered as control, fed only with commercial ration, group B was treated at a dose rate
of 0.5 ml multivitamins per 1 litre of drinking water, group C was treated at a dose rate of 1 ml enzyme per litre of
drinking water and group D was treated with multivitamin @ 0.5 ml/L and Enzyme @ 1ml/ L in water from 1 to 21
days of experiment. It was observed that multivitamin and enzyme supplementation significantly (p<0.01) increased
body weight. TEC, PCV and Hb content increased significantly (p<0.01) in the treated groups as compared to that of
control group. ESR, AST and ALT values decreased significantly (p<0.01) in the treated groups. Therefore, it may be
concluded that multivitamin and enzyme may be used with better performances in terms of increase of body weight
and blood profiles.
