Abstract

An experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of multi-enzyme supplementation with graded levels of flashed-dried cassava pulp (FDCP) on hematological indices of broiler starters. The FDCP was substituted for maize at 0, 5, 10 and 15% and supplemented with 100g/1000kg multi enzyme as described by the manufacturer and tagged as T1, T2, T3 and T4. T1 (0% FDCP) served as control without maize and multi enzyme while T2, T3 and T4 were contained maize (5, 10 and 15%) and supplemented with multi enzyme. Ninety-six (96) day old broiler chicks were used for the finding. Experimental diets and water were supplied to the birds ad libitum respectively. At three (3) weeks of the experiment, 3 mls blood was randomly collected through jugular vein of the birds and transferred to the laboratory for assay. Statistical results showed no significant (p>0.05) effect on hematological parameters except lymphocytes and heterocytes that were significantly (p<0.05) affected. Birds on 0% FDCP had the least (46.33 %) significant (p<0.05) lymphocytes while 10% FDCP had the highest (58.00 %) significant (p<0.05) effect. Birds fed on 10% FDCP showed the least (34.00 %) significant (p<0.05) effect of heterocytes while birds fed on 0% FDCP gave the highest (47.3 %) significant (p<0.05) effect. Varied FDCP with multi-enzyme supplementation had no negative effect on the hematological indices of broiler starters. Therefore, inclusion of FDCP up to 15% with multi-enzyme supplementation is recommended and further study should be carried out to investigate extent the use of FDCP with multi-enzyme in the broiler starter could be tolerated.
