Effect of probiotic biologics on morpho-biochemical parameters of broiler chicken blood

Abstract

In the production of broiler poultry products, market operators use intensive technologies that involve the use of various, environmentally friendly nutraceuticals, in particular, probiotic preparations. In the technology of raising broiler chickens, probiotic preparations are necessary as a means for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, stimulating the growth and increasing the productivity of poultry. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of probiotic biologics on haematological parameters when it is fed to broiler chickens. The experiment used 20 broiler chickens, which were given a probiotic from 28 to 42 days in the following amounts: 0.5 g/10 dm3 , 2.0 and 4.0 g/10 dm3 of water. It was found that the morpho-biochemical parameters of poultry blood corresponded to the physiological standards for broiler chickens of the established age and confirmed the absence of pathophysiological changes in their body. On days 35 and 42 of rearing, an increase in the number of leukocytes from 4.4 to 17.2% and the haemoglobin content by 3.9 and 6.2%, respectively, was observed in the blood of broiler chickens fed the probiotic at a dose of 4.0 g/10 dm3 compared to the control group. On day 35 of the study, a 1.2-fold increase in total serum protein was observed when drinking a probiotic in poultry, respectively, at doses of 2.0 and 4.0 g/10 dm3 of water, and on day 42 – 1.0 times for its drinking at a dose of 4.0 g/10 dm3 of water. It was found that the content of inorganic calcium and phosphorus in the poultry blood serum corresponded to physiological limits, which indicates a sufficient level of mineral nutrition in the body of broiler chickens. The absence of changes in the activity of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, the content of total lipids, cholesterol, and creatinine in the blood serum of broiler chickens of the experimental groups indicates the hepato- and nephronethoxicity of the probiotic. Based on the results obtained, the drug under study can be recommended to increase the resistance of the poultry body and regulate metabolism
