Effect of induced aflatoxicosis on haemato-biochemical attributes in broilers and its amelioration by using Emblica officinalis

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of induced aflatoxicosis on haemato-biochemical attributes in broilers and its amelioration by using Emblica officinalis. Day old broiler chicks were divided into four groups of ten each and were fed on same basal feed (BF) from 8th day to 42nd day with some addition on feed. Chicks of group T0 were fed on BF only, group T1 was fed on BF with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) @150 ppb, group T2 was fed on BF with AFB1 @150 ppb and E. officinalis @5 g/kg of feed and group T3 was fed on BF mixed with E. officinalis @5 g/kg of feed. Haemato-biochemical attributes on 42nd day revealed significant (P<0.05) reduction of Hb, TEC and TLC in T1 (8.52, 2.05 and 18.1) and T2 (8.73, 2.20 and 19.8) as compared to T0 (9.05, 2.37 and 21.2) and T3 (9.5, 2.55 and 22.8). AST and ALT of T1 (281, 17.7) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than T0, T2 and T3. Serum TP, albumin and globulin was significantly (P<0.05) lower in T1 (2.74, 1.45 and 1.29) than other groups. The serum cholesterol (mg/dL) and triglycerides (mg/dL) in T1 (78.4, 118) and T2 (28.0, 123) were significantly lower than T0 (109, 131) and T3 (120, 140). Supplementation of E. officinalis alone or with AFB1 in feed showed improvement in aflatoxin fed chicks. Therefore, it is concluded that supplementation of E. officinalis is effective for protection of AFB1 toxicity in broilers and could be used for prevention of harmful effects caused by aflatoxicosis in broilers.
