Impacts of dietary supplementation of Boswellia serrata on growth, nutrients digestibility, immunity, antioxidant status, carcase traits and caecum microbiota of broilers

This study evaluated the effect of Boswellia serrata, (BS) on growth performance, carcase traits, antioxidant and immune responses, digestive enzymes and caecum microbiota of broiler chickens. A total of 120 one-day-old Ross 308 chicks were randomly allotted into four treatment groups, each of five...

Description
Summary:This study evaluated the effect of Boswellia serrata, (BS) on growth performance, carcase traits, antioxidant and immune responses, digestive enzymes and caecum microbiota of broiler chickens. A total of 120 one-day-old Ross 308 chicks were randomly allotted into four treatment groups, each of five replicates. The 1 st group was fed on a basal diet only and served as control. The 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th groups were fed the basal diet plus 0.5, 1 and 1.5 g BS/Kg diet, respectively. Body weight (BW) at 42 days old and daily body weight gain (DBWG) during (1-42 days) was linearly (
