Abstract

The object of this article is to evaluate the impact of dietary supplementation with whey powder (WP) on physiological and biochemical parameters in growing broiler chickens. The results suggest that with whey powder in diet, the total protein content and metabolic process are activated for stability of physiology on broiler chickens. This work aimed to evaluate the physiological-biochemical status of broiler chickens fed a diet containing whey powder during the growth period. The experiment was completed for 42 days with a total of 100 one day old Cobb-500 broiler chicks divided into four treatment groups: (T1, T2, and T3) supplemented with whey powder at the rate of40, 60 and 80mg/kg feed respectively as compared to straight plane diet. The birds were all offered a commercial standard basal diet ad libitum, with access to water and feed at all times. Biochemical Analysis: Biochemical profiles including total protein, albumin, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and liver enzymes such as AST and ALT were all measured in blood. Physiological sign, including the heart rate, breath rate and body temperature, were also recorded.
