Abstract

A total of three hundred Arbor Acer breed day old broiler chicks were obtained from a commercial hatchery with an average (40±0.12g body weight), weighted individually and randomly divided into five (5) Dietary Treatment (Treatment 1: control; Treatment 2: 2.5% Mango Leaf Meal (MLM); Treatment 3: 5.0% MLM; Treatment 4: 7.5% MLM and Treatment 5: 10.0% MLM) with six replicate per treatment and ten birds per replicate in a completely randomized design. The experiment was conducted for the period of eight weeks. Serum biochemistry was measured. Data was analyzed using ANOVA at P>0.05. The alkaline phosphate and alamine transanase show no significant difference (P>0.05. There was significant different in aspartate transaminase (P<0.05). Broiler chicken fed 10.0% MLM (28.33 iu/L) had the highest value. Total protein and glucose shows no significant different. Albumin has significant different (P>0.05) with broiler chickens on 7.5% MLM having the highest value. There are no significant different in total cholesterol and triglyceride. High density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein show significant different. Broiler chicken fed control diet had the highest LDL (1.33 mmol/L) with the least
low density lipoprotein in the treated groups. There is significant different in creatinine. Chicken fed 7.5% MLM (0.83 mg/L) had the highest creatinine followed by control and 2.5% respectively (0.57 and 0.40 mg/L). It could be concluded that 5.0% and 7.5% MLM could be added to broiler chicken diet without any advert effect on the health status of the chicken.
