| Abstract: | Study was carried out to investigate the effect of Psidium guajava leaf meal (PGLM) supplementation on production performance, biochemical profile and immune response of broiler chickens. Two hundred and forty unsexed day old broiler chicks (average body weight 49.50± 0.25 g) were procured from local hatchery and randomly divided into 4 dietary treatments (T0, T1, T2 and T3), with 4 replicates of 15 chicks in each deep litter pen with similar managerial conditions in a completely randomized block design for a period of 42 days. T0 group was fed basal diet, while T1, T2 and T3 groups were fed basal diet supplemented with PGLM @ 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 percent, respectively. Three phase feeding (pre-starter, starter and finisher) was followed for feeding of experimental chicks. Chicks were provided feed and water ad-libitum throughout the feeding trial. Production performance viz. body weight gain (g), feed (g) and water (ml) intakes and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were measured weekly on bird bases, however, carcass characteristics, biochemical profiles and economics were determined at the end of the feeding trial. Humoral and cell mediated immune responses were assessed between 4th to 5th weeks of age. Feed (g) and water (ml) intake, body weight gain (g) and FCR were significantly (P<0.05) higher in T1, T2 and T3 groups as compared to T0 group. PGLM supplementation significantly (P<0.001) reduced blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels and improved globulin level in T1, T2 and T3 groups compared to T0 group. PGLM supplementation did not exert any adverse effect on carcass characteristics. Though, PGLM supplementation significantly (P<0.001) reduced abdominal fat content and improved net return. PGLM supplementation (upto 3.5%) in broilers’ diets is cost effective, environmental friendly, natural alternative production performance enhancer, immune-modulator without affecting carcass characteristics and produce low cholesterol healthy broiler meat. |
